    What is IoT asset tracking?

    IoT asset tracking combines sensing and positioning technologies, cellular and short range wireless communication, and the cloud to offer businesses a reliable way to keep tabs on their moving assets throughout their entire lifecycle. From the shipments of raw materials used in manufacturing all the way to finished products deployed anywhere on the globe.

    What about livestock, pets, and wild animals? Use IoT asset trackers to keep tabs on them too!

    Explore our five key use cases along with their specific needs, and the hardware required to implement solutions below.

     

    Use cases for industrial IoT asset tracking

    Trailer and intermodal cargo container tracking

    Ultra-low-power location IoT asset tracking for trailers and cargo containers on roads, rail, and sea integrating GPS positioning with cellular and satellite communication.

    IoT supply chain optimization and monitoring

    IoT asset monitoring across the supply chain with secure back-end data management to assess the status of assets, detect theft and tampering, and identify operational bottlenecks.

    Cargo terminal and warehouse monitoring

    Container, pallet, and asset monitoring in terminals, logistics hubs, and warehouses using indoor positioning, outdoor positioning, cellular communication, cameras, and ISM RF technologies.

    Indoor positioning solutions

    Indoor positioning solutions take IoT asset tracking beyond the reach of GPS signals, enabling a variety of industrial tracking applications, in warehouses, factories, and underground.

    Tracking for livestock monitoring

    Gain valuable insights and peace of mind with wearable IoT trackers for your cows, sheep, and other livestock.

    Benefits of IoT asset tracking

    Gain real-time visibility on the location of tracked assets at rest and in transit

    IoT asset tracking systems and real-time location systems (RTLS) use a range of technologies to reliably locate moving assets and securely present the data on the cloud, offering businesses maximum transparency and peace of mind.  

    Tailor solutions to the specific needs of your IoT tracking use case with the right combination of positioning hardware and location services, whether it’s low power, minimal size, or maximum accuracy.

    Increase quality through continuous data collection and monitoring of high-value, perishable, and sensitive goods

    Leverage IoT asset monitoring to ensure that perishables and sensitive goods reach their destination undamaged and unspoiled.

    Reliably transfer data to the cloud with minimal overhead – even on a tight power budget – with communication services tailored to the needs of the IoT based on a reliable, robust, and secure messaging protocol like MQTT.

    Improve inventory planning for time-sensitive logistics

    Reduce uncertainty in inventory management with IoT asset tracking to reliably meet service level agreements for time-sensitive logistics and keep customers smiling.

    Detect theft, tampering, and operational inefficiencies to optimize supply chain flow

    Adopt IoT asset monitoring solutions to nip disruptions to the supply chain in the bud and keep the assets flowing smoothly. Catch and address systemic issues when and where they arise to increase the efficiency throughout the logistics network.
