What is IoT in Logistics

IoT (Internet of Things) in logistics refers to the use of smart devices and sensors to track assets, monitor environmental conditions, and optimize operations across the supply chain.

Real-World Example

A logistics company installs IoT-enabled temperature sensors in refrigerated trucks to ensure pharmaceutical shipments remain within the required temperature range during transit, automatically alerting operators if conditions deviate.
