Cool IoT Use Cases: Intelligent logistics solutions can address critical fleet management issues

Fleet management solutions are increasingly leveraging the functionality of real-time IIoT platforms, one example being the consolidation of logistics data generated by different telematics systems. Transportation companies need to focus on their core competence, namely the management of end-to-end transportation processes. However, bringing vehicles into today’s IoT economy involves a more complex scenario than that provided by earlier black box solutions. Today fleet operators need to address issues such as reliable connectivity, interoperability with third-party systems, plus the ongoing complexity and cost of adding new functionality. This adds up a complex task: therefore in line with solutions for other industrial sectors there is a compelling need to deliver the requisite functionality as a service.
