The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming logistics by enabling real-time tracking and monitoring of goods throughout the supply chain. Smart sensors and connected devices now provide unprecedented visibility into shipment conditions and locations.

Key applications of IoT in logistics include:

  • Asset Tracking: GPS and RFID technologies allow companies to monitor the exact location of vehicles, containers, and individual packages in real-time.
  • Condition Monitoring: Sensors that measure temperature, humidity, light exposure, and shock can ensure sensitive goods remain in optimal conditions during transit.
  • Predictive Maintenance: IoT devices on vehicles and warehouse equipment can detect potential failures before they occur, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
  • Warehouse Automation: Connected systems optimize inventory management, with automated alerts for restocking and improved space utilization.

As IoT technology becomes more affordable and accessible, even small and medium-sized logistics companies are adopting these solutions to remain competitive in an increasingly data-driven industry.
