Many e-tailers are embracing the Internet of Things (IoT) solutions with successful results. Agile supply chain operations, especially in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry, are using IoT and end-to-end shipment visibility software to outperform competitors with better service while keeping lower inventory levels. IoT makes these changes possible because new digital technologies affect the value […]
How the Internet of Things Enables Agile Supply Chains »
This year, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and services are expected to reach an adoption rate of 18 to 20%, and this number is predicted to reach nearly 100% by 2030. Regardless of this growing adoption, some organizations are on the fence about implementing IoT technologies due to uncertainties around whether they are equipped to […]
Supply Chain Trends Influencing the Energy Industry »
There is a lot of growth toward implementing new technology innovations within the supply chain, and the Internet of Things (IoT)—a network that connects physical objects, communications, software, and sensors to allow machines to transfer data over a network without human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction—has garnered a high level of interest and hype, largely driven from […]
New Savi IoT Sensors Reduce Theft and Diversion of Sensitive Cargo While Supplying and Protecting Troops »
The U.S. Department of Defense DoD runs the largest active Radio Frequency Identification (aRFID) enabled in-transit visibility tracking system in the world. The Radio Frequency In-Transit Visibility (ITV) network has points of presence in 2,000 locations in over 50 countries and tracks and over 57,000 shipments of mission-critical supplies and sensitive equipment weekly destined for warfighters […]
3 breakthrough technologies to gain control of your supply chain »
Last week we talked about why companies that are outsourcing their logistics operations cannot rely on milestone-based systems. Using the Internet of Thing (IoT) technologies to know the real-time location and condition of all shipments and products is the first step to gaining in-transit visibility. The next step is to gain control of the supply […]
Why supply chain leaders are implementing innovative in-transit visibility technologies »
Outsourcing = silos + data integration problems According to Supply Chain Insights, 90 percent of shippers are now outsourcing at least part of their supply chain operations. Outsourcing is a no-brainer because it gives a company flexibility, scalability, and saves both time and money. But it also exposes companies to other risks that should be […]
Three reasons why Data Scientists are the superheroes of the supply chain »
I realized I wasn’t really sure what a Data Scientist does. So I asked, Jim Hayden, SVP Data Science this question. He explained how he uses his technology background, Internet of Things platform, and subject matter expertise in supply chains. The more complex our global supply chain networks become, the more we will need to […]
Three Capabilities for a More Resilient Supply Chain »
Sensor data and IoT technologies are helping to create more resilient supply chains with real-time monitoring, accurate estimated time of arrivals (ETA), and geofencing capabilities. Through the connectivity that IoT affords, assets equipped with sensors are able to transmit data that can be analyzed and leveraged to make decisions in real-time. The result is a […]
7 Unexpected Uses for the Industrial IoT »
There is a lot of growth toward implementing new technology innovations within supply chains, and the logical extension of the IoT to industrial applications has the potential to transform numerous industries, including transportation, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and energy. The disruptive power of the Industrial IoT will bring non-technology industries into the digital age by connecting machines, […]
