IoT and Supply Chain Management Solutions

Gain visibility into goods throughout production and delivery.

How Does IoT Improve Supply Chain Management?

Effective supply chain management relies on visibility into materials and goods throughout production and delivery. Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled supply chains optimize production and safeguard goods in transit, improving efficiency and customer service.

IoT-connected sensors enable real-time asset monitoring throughout the chain. Sensors assess numerous asset status variables, including temperature and vibration, which can affect raw goods and materials quality. Today’s rugged sensors can withstand adverse conditions to continue to deliver valuable data.

Smart supply chain management facilitates coordination between inventory levels and demand with production operations, reducing shortages and overtime.

Low-power wide-area (LPWA) networks offer IoT connectivity at a low cost. With expanded functionality enabled by 5G networks, the IoT supply chain will become faster and more robust.

Improve the Safety of Cold Chains

Industries with temperature-controlled supply chains — known as cold chains — stand to benefit from IoT supply chain technologies that provide real-time data and control. An IoT food supply chain can deliver crucial end-to-end control to ensure safe handling and avoid waste.

Preserve the Integrity of Perishable Shipments

Perishable goods, such as food and pharmaceuticals, pose transportation challenges for manufacturers and distributors. Smart cold chains protect public health and eliminate waste through constant asset monitoring and alerts.

Meet Customer Requirements and Industry Regulations

Manufacturers and distributors of perishable goods must meet customers’ demands and industry and government requirements. Smart cold chains help ensure perishables maintain regulatory compliance and high quality throughout logistics.

Safeguard Consumer Safety

Consumers at the end of the perishables supply chain need to feel confident that the products they receive are safe. Monitoring quality across the IoT food supply chain gives them that assurance.
