Logistics & Asset Tracking IoT Solution
1. Industry Background & Challenges
In modern logistics, global supply chains are becoming more complex, time-sensitive, and data-driven. Traditional logistics management often faces high uncertainty, inefficient manual tracking, and lack of real-time visibility. Key challenges include:
No real-time visibility of goods, vehicles, and assets during transportation
High loss or theft risk at warehouses, distribution centers, or transit points
Uncertain delivery times due to route deviations, delays, or unexpected events
Inaccurate inventory and asset management caused by manual operations
Lack of environmental monitoring for sensitive goods (cold chain, medical, electronics)
Inefficient last-mile operations and low automation
IoT technology transforms logistics by enabling full traceability, environment monitoring, and intelligent asset management across the entire supply chain.
