Unlock transparency and responsiveness with smart, connected devices
Global markets, just-in-time production, and rising customer expectations demand one thing from the logistics industry: transparency and responsiveness – across every stage of the supply chain.
Smart Logistics makes this possible: With IoT-enabled trackers, sensors, and gateways, transports, containers, pallets, vehicles, and warehouse operations can be monitored, analyzed, and controlled digitally – anytime and anywhere.
But especially in distributed supply chains, moving assets, and changing network environments, one thing becomes clear: Smart logistics is only as strong as the middleware behind it.
Typical Challenges in Logistics
- Mobility & changing locations: Containers and pallets move through different networks and regions – often without a consistent infrastructure.
- Limited power supply: Trackers and sensors must run for years on minimal energy.
- Large fleets & asset volumes: Monitoring thousands of items simultaneously requires scalable communication solutions.
- Network coverage & interoperability: Communication must work both on-site (e.g., in warehouses) and on the move – ideally using standardized protocols.
- Environmental conditions: Temperature fluctuations, shocks, humidity, and lighting variations must not impair system reliability.
The solution: LPWAN technologies for flexible, energy-efficient logistics
LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) technologies offer the perfect foundation for mobile, large-scale logistics applications – proven, scalable, and built for real-world conditions.
LoRaWAN® the versatile allrounder for smart logistics
