Supply chain and logistics

Tracking and monitoring goods and assets has never been easier or more convenient.

By significantly reducing complexity and total cost of ownership, 0G-ready solutions offer flexibility, convenience and effectiveness for an end-to-end view of the entire supply chain to support business processes. Several applications are possible, from tracking goods to monitoring flow and/or transport conditions to optimizing the managed asset base.

Monitor flows along the supply chain

Complex supply chains, characterized by the interaction of different players and numerous exchanges, require simple but effective tools to ensure the right level of visibility and the correct flow of goods and information. Thanks to the low energy consumption levels and simplicity of 0G network-based solutions, it is possible to automatically and efficiently monitor the location and status of assets along the supply chain, both in internal and external facilities, minimizing the operational costs of managing the solution. Thanks to 0G Sigfox technology (insert internal link to 0G Sigfox) it is now possible to optimize processes, support demand & supply planning and provide new value to the customer.

Increase safety

High-value vehicles and assets have always been at risk of theft. Thanks to the low power consumption and jamming resistance (radio signal shielding) capabilities of 0G Sigfox technology, it is now possible to locate and recover stolen goods and assets with hidden trackers that complement traditional systems such as satellite antitheft devices and GPS devices over cellular networks.

Optimizes closed-loop asset management

The use of returnable industrial packaging (RIP) is a well-established and growing practice as it allows for an increased level of production sustainability against increased management complexity. The goal of any closed-loop asset management system is to maximize the level of control (visibility), optimize allocation processes and minimize the number of lost assets. Locating and tracking business assets in locations such as warehouses, display areas, logistics nodes, etc., is indeed important as theft or loss impacts cost, customer experience, and sometimes security. Thanks to low power consumption levels and simplicity of Sigfox’s 0G network-based solutions, it is possible to automatically locate such assets through the affixation of low-impact, long-lasting devices, overcoming the limitations of traditional systems.
