IоT integration in logistics

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) in logistics has become widespread in the last decade mainly in the form of tracking devices. But that’s not all the IoT has to offer the industry. Technology is a tool to ensure the smoothness and continuity of the delivery process. Allows you to track those parameters in the work of technology that are not available to man or require a lot of attention and time. The introduction of IoT technologies in the field of logistics makes it possible to optimize the entire system, including warehouse operations, transportation and delivery. IoT provides an opportunity to improve process efficiency, security and quality of service. Analytics can be used for the entire value chain, so everyone benefits from the introduction of new technologies: logisticians, their partners and end users. The field of transportation is considered one of the highest priorities for the implementation of IoT solutions. The use of the Internet of Things leads to increased efficiency in the field of traffic control. The implementation of IoT solutions makes it possible to coordinate traffic, distribute parking spaces, etc. Such a vehicle monitoring system makes it possible not only to improve the transport infrastructure, but also to create all the necessary prerequisites for its growth. The IoT allows you to have a holistic view of the warehouse: from the ambient temperature, the amount of inventory to the performance of the equipment. Based on this data, companies can analyze overall performance and take maneuvers to improve safety and productivity. Logistics is based on improving operational efficiency. IoT technologies can improve productivity. GPS and location data from RFID tags simplify the process of tracking the delivery route of goods. The use of historical data will improve logistics operations. Big data will make it possible to identify the most effective couriers, truckers, determine the most efficient delivery routes, etc.
