SUPPLY CHAIN AND LOGISTICS
DESCRIPTION
The availability of a Container Tracker can help you ensure accurate access to its statue. This use case is possible thanks to Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) and can be beneficial in noting the phases that the container goes through and having a clear view of your shipment, thanks to IoT technology. By using it wisely, you could reduce losses and understand the surrounding environment better- which would then lead to safer routes being chose.
LPWAN SIMPLE ARCHITECTURE
WHY IOT OVER LPWAN?
LPWAN (Low Power Wide-Area Network) is an advantageous networking solution due to its low energy
consumption and simple installation process. LPWAN uses the ISM frequency spectrum to provide a
low-power wide area network. The use of this frequency band allows LPWAN systems to be smaller, faster
and more reliable than traditional narrowband networks.
This type of network is perfect for massive spaces such as cities, schools, hospitals and offices that have
a high demand for data collection. The advantages of LPWAN extend to greater productivity and impproved efficacy from the capacity to link more devices concurrently. Additionally, costs associated with
linking units over a broad area network are minimized leading to shorter setup times and lower monthly
bills overall. LPWAN technology offers a range of advantages, including minimal power consumption and
prolonged battery life as well as decreased upkeep. Additionally, it facilitates the logging of data for inspection purposes while also enabling swift access to information in case of any problems with the
system. Furthermore, users will be notified if preset parameters are exceeded.
