Session Abstract Breaking Asset Tracking Cost Barriers with IoT Technology What if you could track and recover any supply chain asset – a crate, a pallet, even an envelope, and do so cost efficiently? In the age of digitization, this is now a reality made possible through Internet of Things (IoT). Learn how IoT technology like low-power wide area networks are able to break the cost barriers with a network built specifically for IoT; to consume as little energy as possible, as simply as possible, and as cost efficiently as possible. Hear the stories of asset tracking use cases from around the world that have found value in this technology.

Low Cost Wireless Sensor Opportunity Low Cost Wireless Sensor Opportunity Wireless sensors offer the supply chain a Trailer refrigerator low barrier to entry. With sensors now needs maintenance available at low costs, the opportunity exists to put a sensor on anything – a cargo box, a pallet, or an individual box. Over 900 supply chain industry leaders, identified sensors as one technology enabling today’s ALERT! High “always - on supply chain”* temperature in container #563 53% of the 900 industry leaders also said sensor technologies have the potential to create competitive advantage. Shipping container Another 37% say sensors support ongoing #71 arrived at lot A supply chain improvements. *Source: Deloitte & MHI’s 2017 Annual Industry Report
