Amyx Success Stories


Asset Visibility helps DLA-Pacific support typhoon-relief efforts - When Typhoon Morakot slammed into Taiwan and China it caused significant damage and loss of life. According to official reports, more than 100 Taiwanese are confirmed dead, several hundred more are missing and thousands are homeless. Many more residents remain without access to potable water.

When disaster strikes in the Pacific one of the first calls USPACOM makes when it plans an aid operation is to DLA. One of the first questions normally asked is, "what humanitarian relief supplies are immediately available?" and for DLA-Pacific Region, that translates to "what does DLA have on hand?"

To maintain a level of disaster preparedness, the DLA-Pacific Region team maintains current listings of all available humanitarian supplies and works closely with USPACOM to expedite delivery. The lists, containing items requested during past crises, get the aid moving swiftly because DLA-Pacific doesn't have to ask customers to provide stock numbers and other data that could be time-consuming to produce. Asset Visibility (AV) is a system amalgamating authoritative sources to provide users with near real time information on the location and status of equipment and supplies. Activated pre-defined queries provided immediate visibility of humanitarian assistance supplies located around the world regardless of owning service. Thanks to the information supplied from AV, distribution depots in Guam, Okinawa (Japan) and (mainland) Japan provided exceptional short notice, after-hours support to this high-priority mission.

To date, DLA has supplied more than 500,000 water purification tablets and 120 rolls of plastic sheeting to the current relief package, said Marine Lt. Col. John Turner, chief of operations and exercises in the DLA-Pacific's Logistics Operations Center.

When DLA is asked to help with disaster relief planning, instead of having to ask the customer what they require, DLA-Pacific, using Asset Visibility, simply provides a listing and says, "this is what we have available; tell us what you need and where to send it".
