In the past, tracking a shipping container across continents or monitoring the temperature of a pharmaceutical package in a rural warehouse came with trade-offs: cost, power drain, or unreliable coverage. Asset visibility was reserved for high-value goods, while the rest of the supply chain operated on estimates, paper trails, and phone calls. This is changing. […]
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is a radio frequency technology operating across a wide spectrum from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz. It functions by transmitting extremely short bursts of radio energy, typically lasting only a few nanoseconds. This pulse-based transmission enables precise distance measurement through techniques such as Time-of-Flight (ToF) and Time-Difference-of-Arrival (TDoA). ToF measures the time taken for […]
The Digital Wave of International Logistics In the context of 21st-century globalization, international logistics plays a crucial role as a bridge connecting the economies and trade of various countries. It encompasses multiple aspects such as transportation, warehousing, loading and unloading, packaging, circulation processing, distribution, and information processing. International Logistics must find a balance between more […]
Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) announced that its Board of Directors completed the comprehensive business portfolio evaluation launched a year ago by Chairman and CEO Vimal Kapur and intends to pursue a full separation of Automation and Aerospace Technologies. The planned separation, coupled with the previously announced plan to spin Advanced Materials, will result in three publicly listed industry […]
In today’s rapidly evolving logistics and supply chain sector, warehouses are increasingly turning to innovative technologies to gain a competitive edge. One such advancement is the integration of warehouse robotics, which has revolutionized the way tasks such as sorting, picking, transporting, and packaging goods are performed. These automated systems, powered by sophisticated technologies like artificial […]
In the rapidly evolving world of global supply chains, interoperability—the ability of systems, devices, and organizations to work together seamlessly—has become a critical factor for operational efficiency. By applying the ISO OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) seven layer model, traditionally used in networking, to logistics, businesses can achieve a structured framework that enhances communication, reduces friction, […]
As automation continues to evolve in logistics, two technologies are becoming central to modern delivery methods: autonomous drones and autonomous vehicles. Both are advancing through operational trials led by companies like Amazon, UPS, Alphabet’s Wing, Tesla, and TuSimple. However, each technology serves different purposes within logistics, and the question remains: Which will ultimately shape the […]
