供应链优化、资产监控和冷链跟踪

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.

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.

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.
