For South African businesses, the process of getting goods from point A to point B has become a lot more simple with the help of the Internet of Things (IoT). With the help of connected sensors, Bluetooth, and cloud services, companies no longer need to rely on manual tracking and traditional methods of monitoring logistics operations. IoT has provided businesses in South Africa with the ability to gain a better understanding and insight into the operations of their a global supply chain and to improve the efficiency of their logistics operations.
The introduction of connected sensors and smart devices have opened up a wealth of data for companies to use to better understand and optimize logistics operations. For example, companies can gather and analyze real-time tracking data for freight and cargo transportation as well as environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. Additionally, with the help of smart devices such as GPS trackers, companies can monitor the location of goods and vehicles in transit. This can significantly reduce the cost of transportation as well as eliminate delays from manual tracking.
IoT sensors and trackers can help companies optimize the way goods are shipped. By gathering and analyzing data such as temperature, shock, humidity, and vibration readings, companies can maintain quality assurance in the shipping process. In some cases, companies can even implement connected devices that will alert them of any irregularities with their shipments and proactively mitigate any risk of damage or loss.
The data gathered from connected devices have enabled companies to more effectively manage their inventory. IoT sensors such as RFID tags can help companies track their goods as they move through the supply chain and alert them to when they reach the destination, eliminating the need for manual tracking or manual data entry. This can drastically improve the efficiency of inventory management and reduce the amount of time it takes to move goodsfrom point A to point B.
IoT sensors and devices can also be used to monitor and optimize the performance of transport fleets. For example, internet-connected fuel and maintenance sensors can alert fleet managers to any problems that may arise and help them take proactive steps to reduce the chances of accidents and breakdowns. Additionally, IoT connected devices can be used to monitor driver performance, making sure that all personnel in the fleet are performing at their peak.
