Uninterrupted transparency in the supply chain thanks to Satellite IoT
Deutsche Telekom is expanding its IoT network to include satellite connectivity, closing the last gaps that have remained unreachable for traditional mobile networks. This provides globally operating companies with the opportunity to have uninterrupted visibility into their goods and all associated vital data.
„If companies don't know where their products or raw materials are in the supply chain, it can lead to delays, bottlenecks, or even losses.“
Jens Olejak, Deutsche Telekom IoT
Challenge
A company‘s supply chain includes all the necessary steps to bring a product or service from raw material extraction to the sale to an end customer. The importance of transparency, particularly with regard to the condition and location of goods, should not be underestimated.
Solution
An efficient way to improve the flow of information in the supply chain is to implement IoT solutions that enable the tracking and monitoring of goods. This includes the capture of data such as temperature, humidity, and movement, which can be monitored throughout the entire supply chain. With the help of our global IoT network, consisting of converged mobile and satellite connectivity, seamless monitoring of the supply chain can be ensured – anytime, anywhere.
Business benefit
A transparent, data-driven supply chain offers companies many benefits to make their business more resilient. These include reducing risks, increasing efficiency, improving sustainability, as well as heightening social responsibility. By creating a culture of collaboration and transparency – also through the use of IoT technologies – companies can make their supply chains more sustainable and ethical, thereby securing their long-term success.
