IoT use cases in logistics
Telenor Connexion has provided IoT connectivity for transport and logistic companies for about 15 years. We are experts in IoT for logistics and have jointly developed fleet management applications together with customer and suppliers.
Benefits of using the Internet of Things in transport and logistics include:
IoT devices help businesses track the location of each vehicle and its produce to find the most economical and safe routes, thereby helping to avoid delays or spoilage. Knowing the intricacies of the delivery process helps business owners apply best practices. Also, it helps drivers proactively respond to and efficiently manage problems while in transit.
Automatic order processing and status updates help companies save admin time, reduce the number of delivery staff, lowering overall operating costs. In addition, using IoT in the last-mile delivery can significantly reduce costs as well as increase customer satisfaction.
The Internet of Things provides businesses with diverse data: how long it takes to sell a certain amount of stock in a warehouse, ways to optimize supply, which employees have better track records, which distribution centers have higher conversion rates. As a result, business managers can accurately plan operations and predict the results of business decisions.
Business managers can monitor the physical safety of personnel using wearable IoT devices and sensors. With the Internet of Things, you can protect employees from exposure to toxic elements and alert drivers if they aren’t following safety guidelines.
Business managers use IoT logistics solutions that provide increased inventory and supply chain transparency as well as protect against fraud, product theft, and tampering.
The need to identify where you fleet is and how it is doing is growing fast. Fleet management services and IoT for logistics and fleet management have a crucial role to play within all mobility industries.
By their very nature, logistics providers that move objects by air, sea, rail, and ground have widely distributed networks and rely on rapid information about those networks to make decisions. As a result, they were quick to see the benefits of the IoT, placing them at the forefront of the transition to a connected world.
Telenor Connexion is working with logistics companies to provide IoT solutions and services and to help develop them to become even more efficient, as well as compliant to standards and legislation. Typical customers include insurance companies, logistic companies, fleet management software/hardware suppliers and fleet management companies.
IoT connectivity technology requirements in logistics
Rising global traffic and public transport fuels growth for the main segments in transportation – connected bus and aircraft. Despite a low number of endpoints, vehicle endpoint solutions account for the majority of market growth due to the complexity of individual solutions.
Connected transportation entails use cases such as driver interaction, fleet tracking and predictive maintenance aiming to reduce vehicle downtime while increasing overall productivity. Such applications have complex technology requirements – reliable coverage in urban and rural areas, global connectivity crosscountry and cross-continental, positioning capabilities for location tracking, a high quality of service to ensure that assets do not “go dark”, and future-proofness of the technology.
The latter means that the devices have SIMs and modules supporting over-the-air updates to avoid the need for costly swapping out in the field. The advancement of use cases that foresee real-time responsiveness and analytics will additionally strain bandwidth requirements. Hence, the majority of deployed transporting solutions will turn to 4G/5G given low price sensitivity and flexible energy efficiency requirements.
