IoT (Internet of Things)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical objects equipped with sensors, software and connectivity that allows them to collect and share data. These "things" connect over the internet to form a dynamic network of information, turning everyday objects into active data sources.
Why IoT matters in logistics
In supply chain management, IoT enables smarter asset tracking and control. By attaching sensors to load carriers or vehicles, companies gain real-time insights into asset location, usage and condition. This data helps prevent loss, optimize utilization and ensure quality standards are met during storage and transport.
How Connected Load Carrier applies IoT
Connected Load Carrier integrates IoT into assets to digitalize supply chains and turn them into data-driven networks. IoT-enabled assets continuously provide live information on movement, dwell time and environmental conditions. This visibility improves efficiency, strengthens transparency and supports more sustainable and responsive operations.
