The transport, logistics, and supply chain sectors are laser focused on efficiency. The aim is to get the right thing to the right place at the right time, making best use of the available infrastructure, while a multitude of global and local factors attempt to eat into margins. In the last 36 months, a litany of events have caused consistent supply chain issues, from Covid to grounded cargo ships, to industrial action to escalating fuel prices.

As IoT (Internet of Things) device form factors have got smaller and batteries have got better, use cases for IoT applications have expanded into every sector. From trucks, to shipping containers, people, to cattle, an organisation’s assets can be fixed, mobile, autonomous and even sentient - relaying information that can deliver new business insights and competitive advantage. But these benefits only come if the information is able to get to the right place at the right time.
