Smart Sensors for Real-time Monitoring in a Sustainable Logistics

Abstract

The new logistics landscape needs openness, efficiency, and agility. Conventional tracking techniques are unable to keep up with the complex dance of items traveling across countries. Intelligent and communicative smart sensors have changed the game by allowing for real-time process monitoring and revolutionizing the logistics process from start to finish. This study explores how smart sensors can revolutionize the logistics industry. First, smart devices were study in-depth and their various features were equally examined, such as GPS tracking, RFID scanning, temperature and humidity sensors, package integrity assessment, vibration and acoustic sensors, and environmental monitoring. By conducting a comprehensive investigation, this research paper aims to scrutinize the data collecting ability of these sensors. The study will focus on their potential for gathering an abundance of information regarding cargo whereabouts, surrounding environment conditions, physical soundness, and equipment efficiency. This stream of real-time current data helps in active problem-solving, and imparts all the relevant insights one needs to know about the complete sustainable logistics operation. Their critical role toward improving productivity, transparency, and environmental sustainability in the dynamic logistics environment. For this reason, they can offer all perspectives needed (which are the most complete) to foster a proactive analysis and enhance any aspect over time.
