The Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
How IOT Works for Fleet Management
In logistics, the supply chain is made up of various stakeholders including manufacturers, transport companies, and retailers. Information sharing and connectivity is essential for all of them.
Therefore, IoT has an important role to play in this industry. Internet of Things in fleet management currently works through 3 main technologies – RFID, GPS and OBD II’s. RFID helps control and track products while GPS and OBD II’s make it possible to obtain real-time information on routes, vehicle maintenance and driving conditions.
