Webinar Recording: Tracking and Tracing of Reusable Transport Packaging

How LoRaWAN-enabled Multi-Technology Tracking and Tracing Leads to Greater Efficiency in the Deployment of Reusable Transport Systems

Summary

Many companies and industries use special reusable transport packaging such as containers, cages, boxes, tanks, crates, bottles, load carriers, pallets, mesh boxes, and roll containers for transporting their goods, which are generally valuable and reusable. The inability to track and trace reusable goods can have financial impacts on a company:

Not knowing where the reusable transport packaging is located or when the parties will return them creates a need for excess inventory to ensure continuity of operations.
Time can be lost searching for containers or roll cages that are inadequately stored or not picked up by the parties, which can delay or disrupt the fulfillment process.
Money can be lost as inefficient lifecycle and process monitoring of hazardous goods or food leads to errors or interruptions in cleaning and control processes.
Paper-based processes mean double work to enter the information collected by operators into the ERP system, reducing back-office productivity.

SmartMakers, Actility, Zozio, and Nomosense use Abeeway GPS Trackers and LPWAN Connectivity to provide their customers with efficient tracking systems for all types of reusable transport systems.

Introduction: How Multi-Technologies Indoor, Outdoor, Low-Power, IoT Geolocation has Revolutionized the Tracking of Reusable Goods

Abeeway & Actility provide precise tracking that works both indoors and outdoors for industrial applications such as warehouse management, goods tracking between buildings, supply chain management, and personal protection. An Asset Journey combines multiple technologies to enable the most precise real-time tracking possible: WiFi or BLE indoors, GPS or Low-Power GPS outdoors, or even LoRa TDoA technology in large rural outdoor areas where precise tracking is not required. Meanwhile, a license-free, cost-effective, and power-efficient private LoRaWAN network can easily transmit location data from any location indoors and outdoors.

Lecture 1: How a Window Manufacturer Achieved Full Transparency on the Utilization of 15% of Its Load Carriers in Just One Week

Reusable transport systems must be provided on time and in good condition. For cost reasons, their number in circulation must be kept low, but not too low to avoid disruptions in the supply chain. An efficient organization must therefore ensure inventory transparency, detect the causes of misuse and shrinkage, and ensure maintenance and timely provision. Learn from a real-world use case of a window manufacturer how to simplify the management of reusable transport packaging with IoT.

Lecture 2: How Cosmetic Brands Track Perfume Tanks and Optimize Operations Using IoT and LoRaWAN

In a context where the cosmetics market is booming worldwide and the need for more efficient resource management is increasing, Zozio implements a unique tracking and tracing solution aimed at optimizing asset flow and reducing costs. With Abeeway & Actility, Zozio has successfully deployed at one of the largest French luxury brands. The brand, whose name will be revealed in a later phase of the project, uses the integrated Zozio-Abeeway solution to track high-value perfume tanks in production facilities. Employees now have immediate access to data on the status, location, and history of tank movements from the ergonomic platform.

Lecture 3: How a Major Truck Manufacturer Tracks Box Contents to Optimize Logistics Between Warehouses

Building trucks is a complex process that requires the transport of parts from various warehouses of our customer and the warehouse of its own supplier. NomoSense's solution helps our customer optimize logistics between the various warehouses, simplify inventory management, or prevent equipment loss. Once the sensors are installed on the boxes, our platform allows our customer to visualize the position and time of presence of each box on a national level. It can also calculate statistics to know the timing of a logistical rotation and can detect any shock to know the responsibilities of each actor in the global industrial process.

For several weeks, we have integrated Actility's ThingPark Exchange solution into our platform to propose LoRa roaming. This allows us to improve asset tracking solutions with better precision indoors thanks to public-private LoRa roaming or to connect services abroad thanks to public-public LoRa roaming.
