Damaged, lost or stolen – the more goods in circulation, the more difficult it becomes to keep track of them. The solution? It’s called asset tracking. Asset tracking enables objects (assets) to be localised and tracked within the logistics process via GPS, RFID or even Bluetooth.
In the first phase, items are selected and tagged. Whether it’s in-house roll cages or shipping boxes, the tag ensures reliable tracking. Additional sensors document the condition of the asset, such as its utilisation rate, vibrations or even temperature.
As digital currency, the added value is obvious. Data! The collection and analysis of data creates transparency and thus enables costs and processes to be optimised and helps measures to be taken against the loss of assets.
