SANTA CLARA, Calif. — WhereNet Corp. announced that the Port of Oakland in California is taking a proactive step toward meeting security requirements set by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through the implementation of a truck-tagging system at one of its most active marine terminals. Drayage trucks serving the port at the Oakland International Container Terminal will be equipped with WhereNet active RFID tags.
The Port of Oakland has purchased 1,700 WhereTag active RFID transmitters and is contracting with WhereNet and eModal to distribute the tags to drayage companies that serve the OICT, which is operated by Stevedoring Services of America Terminals. WhereNet has completed installation of RFID readers at OICT; drivers using that terminal are already voluntarily installing the tags on truck cabs.
