With this solution, the company supposed to transport 100,000 tons of cargo and cover a distance of approximately 4 million kilometers across the country every day. For optimization of routes, it encourages IoT technology and data-driven insights. The technology decreases transit times by up to 50% rather than the conventional trucking industry. It can offer more than 90% reliability with ease of use, real-time tracking, end-to-end visibility of consignment, and temperature-controlled capabilities.
IoT sensors monitored through the centralized control tower of the company can offer real-time consignment and temperature tracking.

As compared to manual monitoring, mass pallet monitoring will significantly enhance the improvement in operational efficiency. By smart parking, the 5G system would significantly increase the operational efficiency in the facility. The technology will guide incoming vehicles to the highly suitable parking space or docking bay, and digital docking bay that can perform real-time monitoring of the truck loading and unloading goods. As the e-commerce companies are expanding their warehouse capabilities, the demand for IoT-enabled solutions is expected to grow significantly, which in turn, is driving the global connected logistics market.
