Smart Logistics: Connected supply chains and mobile assets always in sight

Unlock transparency and responsiveness with smart, connected devices

Global markets, just-in-time production, and rising customer expectations demand one thing from the logistics industry: transparency and responsiveness – across every stage of the supply chain.

Smart Logistics makes this possible: With IoT-enabled trackers, sensors, and gateways, transports, containers, pallets, vehicles, and warehouse operations can be monitored, analyzed, and controlled digitally – anytime and anywhere.
But especially in distributed supply chains, moving assets, and changing network environments, one thing becomes clear: Smart logistics is only as strong as the middleware behind it.

Typical Challenges in Logistics

The solution: LPWAN technologies for flexible, energy-efficient logistics

LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) technologies offer the perfect foundation for mobile, large-scale logistics applications – proven, scalable, and built for real-world conditions.

LoRaWAN® the versatile allrounder for smart logistics
  • Long range (up to 10–15 km), ideal for intralogistics, depots, and large warehouses
  • Low power consumption and long battery life (up to 10 years)
  • Supports both private and public networks
  • Strong global community and wide compatibility with gateways and platforms
  • Ideal for large fleet management, asset tracking, and site monitoring with high device density
  • Highly robust thanks to telegram splitting
  • ETSI-compliant standard with strong security and data integrity
  • Low data rates but extremely efficient for regular status messages
  • Drive-by reading supported up to speeds of 120 km/h

Our stacks for LoRaWAN® and mioty® provide the ideal software basis for your hardware.
