In today’s globalised economy, creating resilient supply chain involves many challenges. Logistics schemes have crossed borders, relying on thousands of people, machines, and data that accompany goods as they move along the route. Considering the complexities in managing moving goods and fleet, these systems can be very fragile calling for optimization of supply workflows.
Here, we will focus on the changes IoT brings to managing supply chains. We shall share some insights that are based on our experience in building IoT products and solutions.
IoT technology uses sensor-based devices, that are small, easy to install and maintain, and offer a robust alternative to human oversight when collecting and exchanging data. IoT delivers real-time data that is crucial for tracking and monitoring cargo, lowering the time and cost of delivery, shorten delivery times, reduce negative environmental impact, automate processes and cutting losses along the way.
In the supply chain context, IoT facilitates remote identification of equipment failures and provides granular data on the devices’ functioning with predictive maintenance alerts. By using IoT sensors on a freight vehicle, you can accumulate lots of data for analytics. You can receive maintenance alerts, vehicle’s GPS location, speed of vehicle, best route for the vehicle, and assess its performance too. Similarly, IoT-based devices used on cargo with environment-sensitive goods like drugs or food can notify managers when the temperature, humidity, or light intensity exceeds permissible thresholds. It helps in reducing wastage and ensuring product quality.
With properly configured software and IoT sensors placed at retail stores, which are the endpoints of any supply chain, you can gather valuable insights about the sales and popularity of different products. This data can be used to efficiently forecast demand and drive profits. On the other side of the chain, we have the supply vendors. A smart supply chain solution can instantly detect delays in the shipment of products and alert procurement to increase orders. This way, you can pre-emptively react to stock shortages.
IoT products and solutions are transforming supply chain management for the better. Whether your company goes the full cycle from production to sales or specializes in logistics services, employing emerging technologies, like IoT, can be beneficial. Your IoT devices will generate heaps of information, for predictive maintenance, proactive actions, and analytical insights. IoT can streamline and automate the decision-making process for business gains.
