The Internet of Things (IOT) today connects every type of object that can be imagined with the Internet, providing a global network of connected devices. But when engineers first began the basis for technology, it was not clear that the new system would have any business applications ever.
According to Industry Lore, the first Internet of Things device was created in the early eighties of the last century at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where thirsty researchers connected the Coca-Cola sale machine to report its temperature and stock of drinks.
In the years that have passed on this new application, the Internet of Things has become part of almost every daily life sector. It also works as one of the basic foundations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution-known as Industry 4.0-along with other basic concepts such as artificial intelligence (AI), robots and three-dimensional printing (3D).
In fact, as of April 9, when people all over the world celebrated the “Internet of Things”, there were more than 15 billion devices connected to the Internet of Things worldwide, according to estimates of the French electronic devices developer. This tremendous access makes the Internet of Things a decisive tool for modern logistical services, according to the company.
“The Internet of Things is an ally in many industries, especially in logistical services. It is easy to track bundles, improves material tracking, improves logistics flows. Smart communication also extends to product products and helps reduce waste. He said in an email.
The spread of smart posters
It is expected that the growth of fast lightning market will increase. As the cost of the Internet of Things, such as signs, sensors, antennas, and batteries, continues to decrease the cost of the Internet of Things in the supply chains increasingly “democracy”.
The main example of this is the “smart brands” market, which is scheduled to jump in size over the next five years – from the value of $ 11.43 billion in 2024 to 17.33 billion dollars by 2029, according to a report issued by the MarketsandMarkets Industrial Research Company. These stickers, also known as electronic stickers, include digital technologies that allow users to track and monitor inventory and other assets in actual time.
The report says that this growth in demand will be largely moved by the logistical sector, noting that companies will use stickers to track everything from the merchandise and the damageable commodities to electronic assets, platforms and equipment. The leading state of use is warehouse management, as smart stickers can help reduce the loss of stocks, inaccuracy and problems of fulfillment. Another is the transfer management, where signs can provide accurate data on the shipment site as well as the conditions it faces in crossing.
A number of technology developers have already launched smart posters designed for the last purpose. For example, IOT California Tag-N-Trac has recently launched a range of available smart stickers that provide actual time in multimedia transport as well as environmental monitoring of shipping units, helping companies secure their shipments and simplify their operations. The company says that signs can capture and transfer data such as the site, road deviations and time alertsand Enably tracking the chain from one end to the tip of the absurdity and tampering alerts. The units communicate via Bluetooth or 5G cellular networks.
Another example is Reelables, a British company that says 5G smart stickers allow logistical service providers, shipping and retailers to track shipments at the piece level while they are moving via the supply chain. The stickers feature a guaranteed tracking device connected to a 5G cellular network, which allows them to automatically collect data from the network and “trigger” events at the moment when the shipment reaches or leaves a warehouse or a road point, says the company.
Likewise, California’s vision specialist provides a four-inch intelligent sticker using 5G networks, GPS attempts, and NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology)-calibration to record and connect the temperature, humidity, shock and exposure to light. The company says the disposable poster, which was designed for single -unique applications, provides institutions in actual time in secondary distribution networks and direct delivery to the customer.
Tracking and Sensing Technology also entered the Dutch in the game, providing a smart label tracking device that includes a three -dimensional printed battery to reduce weight. The poster includes site trackers, temperature sensors and acceleration scale, allowing notifications when the track element reaches major points along the supply chain trip.
More data daily makes the headache disappear
To grow a flood of data from even the smallest packages and products Logistical flows can convert by giving users at the level of the element in their stock.
You only need to ask the Minnesota -based charging broker and the 3 -party service provider Chopinson, which recently opened the “Elements Solutions Solutions” for all of its customers, saying that the product can help companies deal with the increasing fluctuations in the global economy.
The system provides vision and control from end to end through the inventory lists and supply chains at the most warning level: according to the individual element or the stock saves unit (SKU). Its capabilities include tracking elements in the movement or in a state of rest, accurately managed and stocks, enabling visions in the actual time to improve planning, control of costs, and customer service while reducing blind spots, says the company.
“The supply chains are through every industry at a turning point in the face of the constant turmoil, the transformation that is by artificial intelligence and the increasing customer expectations, and for this reason we have these solutions to all our customers now,” Aaron Rajan, chief strategy and innovation employee at Chobinson in a statement. “This is not a new capacity for us – it’s one proven. We are expanding its scope to meet the needs of all the increasing trucks for more vision, more control, and viable visions at the most inhabited level.”
Since it becomes cheaper, technology and equipment that operate the Internet of the Internet of Things are to bring the power of the Internet of Things to completely new categories of tracker’sable objects. When parcels and individual elements that move via supply chains can be connected to the global internet, the industry has acquired a powerful tool for dealing with zeroes and disturbances that can cause costly delays. Welcome to the Internet everything.
