Logistics

While the processes found in the multifaceted logistics sector are applied to a diversity of objects, they are also highly repetitive, which makes process optimization vital and difficult at the same time. Logistics processes revolve around two basic questions: "when?" and "where?". Tracking solutions geared to answering these questions can therefore help generate added value in a variety of areas.

Application examples:

Protection of goods, shipment tracking and tracing, asset tracking, container monitoring, autonomous vehicles, forklift tracking

Technologies:

AoA , GNSS , INS , RSSI , Cooperative Networks
