UGHO RFID tracking and tagging technology breaking news!

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Universal Guardian Holdings, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: UGHO - News), an emerging global leader in non-lethal protection products, systems and security services to protect against terrorist, criminal and security threats to governments and businesses worldwide, is pleased to announce that it has launched its ISR Systems' integrated and interoperable, Transportation Security platform designed to protect inter-modal transportation worldwide.

ISR Systems Trusted Shipper(TM) platform, developed over the past four years, provides visibility and security throughout the entire global supply chain. The Trusted Shipper(TM) system takes homeland security compliance expense and converts it into potential profits that can have a real impact for any company that moves goods through international commerce. These companies include many of the largest corporations in the world.

Trusted Shipper(TM) uses its SupplyChain Guardian(TM) turn-key source-based RFID tagging and Container Guardian(TM) GPS/GPRS enabled container tracking system to create an entirely new paradigm for homeland security transportation security compliance programs. The platform combines configurable container modules, international data centers and a sophisticated supply chain and border security program that:

-- Provides a cost-effective RFID cargo tagging system, which creates
electronic manifests and transmits encrypted cargo manifests to
shippers, customers, and Customs.
-- Tracks cargo container throughout the entire transportation system --
from point of origin to final destination.
-- Monitors cargo container position and contents throughout the
transportation system in real-time.
-- Trusted Shippers(TM) will comply with the new Department of Homeland
Security "Green Lane" program. Cargo that uses the Company's Trusted
Shipper(TM) system will zip through the entry port. Cargo that doesn't
will have to wait in line at the port for detailed examination and
delays.
"Our Trusted Shipper(TM) program begins at the source ... working in partnership with foreign shippers and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, our Secure Risks global security group provides investigations, security plan development and semi-annual inspections required to receive and maintain U.S. Dept of Homeland Security's Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) certification," stated Michael Skellern, Universal Guardian's CEO. "We then incorporate our SupplyChain Guardian(TM) RFID tagging and authentication system at the source, and our Container Guardian(TM) smart container tracking systems which is designed to provide increased logistics efficiencies and speed-to-market for its participants.

Today, less than five percent of containers are inspected. The Department of Homeland Security and ISR Systems have devoted their efforts to developing a multi-tier system that will track, monitor and secure cargo from the source to the final destination.

The Trusted Shipper(TM) system addresses a multi-billion dollar worldwide market. It will securely track products from the factory to the pallet, to the container, into a port, onto a ship, through the port of entry, and then on to rail or truck until it reaches its destination. The total supply chain tracking capability combined with expedited handling at ports will generate significant financial advantages for the companies that utilize this system. In the "just-in-time" logistics world expedited supply chain efficiencies translate into reduced shipping costs, faster shipping times, and most importantly, less inventory tied up on ships, and more inventory in stores. This can generate significant profits for the companies that use the system.

With increased threats against transportation infrastructure and apparent vulnerabilities of leading countries to terrorist and security threats, Universal Guardian's Secure Risks and ISR Systems subsidiaries, have been working closely with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, British Ministry of Defense Research and Development and the World Customs Organisation in Europe, to provide the Trusted Shipper(TM) program; an integrated, end-to-end system designed to provide a secure and trusted global supply chain that yields its participants efficiencies and financial dividends through Homeland Security compliance.
