The businesses and fleets that operate in logistics, transport and other physical operations are no longer the laggards of the digital world. Despite being underserved by the enterprise-wide technology platforms that many businesses take for granted, the speed of change is accelerating, fueled by an ever-increasing appetite for data. While vehicle telematics have been around for years, it is only recently that vehicle sensors and dashboard cameras have been linked together and connected via the cloud to a central enterprise-scale platform. The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology with high-bandwidth cellular networks has made it possible to stream eye-watering volumes of data in real-time. Meanwhile, efficiencies in Cloud computing and storage have paved the way for artificial intelligence (AI) and automation. As a result, vehicle fleets, everything from construction firms, field services engineers and delivery drivers, are now part of an IoT ecosystem providing data to help make operations safer, increasingly efficient and more sustainable. The scale of this connected ecosystem is vast. In fact, it could be argued that the logistics and operations industry is one of the largest and most complex IoT enterprises on the planet. Data is driving the world of physical operations Millions […]
