Supply chain optimization, asset monitoring, and cold chain tracking

Tap into the potential of supply chain optimization 

If we've learned anything over the past year, it's that businesses are only as resilient as their supply chains. Supply chain optimization, asset monitoring, and cold chain tracking can help your business meet delivery deadlines, quality and service levels, and customer expectations. 

Read on for more about the hardware and services that will deliver the data you need to boost your business through supply chain optimization. And learn how to  continuously monitor the status of your assets with industrial asset tracker solutions that combine geolocalization, data sensing, and cloud connectivity for general cargo, retail shipping, and logistics.

What is supply chain optimization? 

Supply chain optimization can help your business detect, locate, and address bottlenecks and other issues in existing supply chains and optimally design new ones to better serve customers and maximize revenue.  

Detect bottlenecks and other problems in existing supply chains before they manifest as delayed deliveries or damaged goods with real-time asset monitoring solutions that provide information on the status of your shipments, quality of handling, and cold chain integrity. Keep an eye on your shipments with compact, disposable, or reusable real-time data loggers offering track-and-trace functionality for cold chain logistics, smart packaging, sensitive and perishable goods shipping, and real-time box tracking.

Flag supply chain issues as they occur, complete with accurate location data and a timestamp, using real-time location systems (RTLS) such as IoT asset trackers and take targeted action to address them before they spin out of control. 

Dig even deeper with multi-echelon inventory optimization to streamline complex multi-layered supply chains. 

Our vast technology offering targeting logistics optimization includes all the components needed to build secure, low maintenance, and globally certified solutions to track your assets throughout the logistics chain.

Cold chain monitoring

Temperature excursions during shipping are a widespread and costly threat to pharmaceutical and food logistics. By combining our positioning technologies, wireless communication, and secure data services with extensive sensing, weaknesses in the cold chain can be pinpointed and mitigated. Spoiled goods and pharmaceuticals can be identified and pulled out of circulation.

Smart packaging

Increased interest in the circular economy is driving the adoption of IoT-enabled smart packages. Equipped with track and trace technology based on GPS and cellular communication, these smart boxes are being used for courier deliveries, shipping of used goods at home, or for the recovery of valuable raw materials gained from old equipment. Combined with Bluetooth and cellular technology, our ultra-low-power cloud-based positioning solution can extend the battery life of IoT smart boxes tenfold.

Supply chain optimization

There has traditionally been limited visibility onto the complex supply chain extending beyond the confines of the production site, that transports incoming raw materials and outgoing finished goods. Gathering real-time data across the supply chain and visualizing them using digital twins – digital dashboards that represent the physical supply chains – sheds light onto bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and weak links and offers the opportunity to address them, increasing quality and reliability while reducing costs.
