Leverage your IoT data in real time to cut waste, optimize routes and predict trends.
A surprising number of companies with large supply and distribution chains are flying blind. Nearly 70 percent of organizations surveyed by the Business Continuity Institute said they do not have full visibility into their supply or distribution chains. That means they can’t see where their people, assets, shipments and vehicles are positioned. And even if they could, they wouldn’t have the context to know whether their assets were optimizing productivity, safety and security. Executives and analysts have even less visibility into the distribution chain or into customer utilization and maintenance of products.
Meanwhile, supply-chain and distribution chain losses are skyrocketing due to rising labor costs, regulatory requirements in transportation and volatile fuel prices.
Nevertheless, your company has the ability to develop sophisticated, agile, data-rich supply chain operations that can give you insights into the issues your supply chain faces and help you identify new opportunities.
Optimize productivity, safety and security
The process begins with ascertaining where you are in the internet of things (IoT) digital transformation journey. Creating layers of visibility that build upon each other helps provide a predictable rate of return for incremental investments while minimizing the risks of technology dependence and obsolescence. This requires a platform that is agile, flexible and scalable.
