Operation Intercept grew out of MRC Investigations, Inc. which, since 2001, has conducted more cargo crime investigations in North America than any other company.  For nearly four years, MRC has been seeking tracking technology that could prove viable in this most complex logistics environment.  Finally, there are some answers:

Trackingtechnology has grown apace with the computer age.  While it has notquite yet reached the James Bond level with micro-chips and secret watches,some exciting approaches are now operational or soon to be.  Likeany other cutting edge technology, tracking is improving and expandingits capacities almost daily, and no device, no matter how good it lookstoday, will match what will be available in a year or two. 

Giventhis environment, it makes little sense to settlefor any one tracking device.  If we become technocentric,we limit our capacities to what one device can be made to do.  Instead,if we look at the whole spectrum of tracking technology, and spread itout before us, we can make intelligent decisions for ourselves and ourcompanies that are more likely to work into the future.  Further,if we buy into a system that can support many technologies, we reduce thepotential for obsolescence – if the tracking units we have needto be replaced with newer and better units, we can stay with the same systemand make the change to new units gradually, rather than being forced todo it all at once. 

Itis also critical to recognize that simply having tracking devices is notenough.  We need to be able manage them, maintain them, locate andtrack them, and intercept them, and that takes a widespread system of responders.

 

It does little good to know that a valuableasset was stolen if there is nobody in place to respond to the problem.
