Abstract: In this paper, we will explore some of the exciting use cases for IoT in logistics and cluster these within the bounds of warehousing operations and freight transportation. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term coined to describe the communication between machine to machine through Internet connectivity. Utilizing this network infrastructure, logistic processes can also be managed much more efficiently and effectively. Transportation used to be the weakest link when it comes to logistics due to the limited security measures available to ensure the safe delivery of the cargo. By using the concept of IoT, and using sensors to communicate between the shipper and carrier, logistics service providers are able to see and manage their freight and drivers on a much larger scale, whether it's the condition or location of the goods. At the end of this section, we will review the success factors for IoT adoption in logistics and provide a roadmap on how logistics providers can move forward and leverage this trend.
