Michael Rodgers has developed and launched several game changing transportation and supply-chain systems.  He has been with Unisys for 32 years and has been involved in Customs and Border Crossing systems, Air Cargo Management, In Transit Visibility (ITV), Passenger/Cargo Risk Assessment systems and RFID.  The supply-chain systems include RFITV, In Transit Service Manager (ISM), and Cargo Portal Services (CPS).  He worked to establish the functional baselines for Cargo 2000 and implemented the first Cargo 2000 compliant system.  His experience with RFID, GPS tracking, and Track-N-Trace systems has been instrumental in improving operations for several large cargo operators.  His systems are in use by 11 airlines and over 2000 freight forwarders. Cargo Portal Services (CPS) is an air cargo booking portal. This unique cargo booking engine supports real-time availability, rates, Cargo 2000, track-and-trace, and communication in a multi-tenant system. The service has interfaces with various Customs organizations to achieve pre-clearance for shipments. The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) program involved the installation of RFID and License Plate Reader (LPR) technology and solutions at the top volume land border crossings in the United States. The functional objectives were to improve officer safety, increase national security and improve the flow of traffic into the US.  Mr. Rodgers was both the PM and Architect of this solution and oversaw the successful deployment of the technology and achieved the functional objectives for the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency.  Mr. Rodgers is currently providing Strategic Architectural and Air Cargo expertise to the CBP Targeting group and working on the Air Cargo Advanced Screening (ACAS) pilot and the Automated Export System (AES).
