How to Integrate Supply Chain Tracking Within Existing Systems Infrastructure
In our complex global economy, implementing Sensing-as-a-Service solutions for supply chain tracking is critical. Industries such as food service, healthcare, luxury, and fashion, which have perishable or high-value assets, must meet strict regulations and consumer demands for safety, quality, and authenticity as their products traverse a multifaceted supply chain network.
As discussed in our previous post, mitigating cargo theft is one of the primary benefits of IoT-enabled supply chain tracking. Equally important within a Total Retail Loss framework are other non-malicious forms of loss, such as product waste, spoilage, and damage.
Tracking with integrated sensor devices locates traveling assets and their conditions in real time and at scale. The benefits are many: enhancing visibility into margin destruction, identifying operational corrections, and increasing profitability for the enterprise.
In this post, we explain the functions and benefits of supply chain tracking, provide a few tips on implementing an IoT-enabled tracking solution, and focus particularly on potential infrastructural issues that may arise during systems integration.
