The History of IoT in Supply Chains | Link Labs | Blog
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term used to describe the interconnected network of physical devices, vehicles, and other objects that are embedded with sensors, software, and network connectivity. These devices collect and exchange data with one another, allowing for real-time tracking, monitoring, and analysis. This empowers a wide variety of industries to improve their operations on a daily basis, but it took time for IoT to take root and grow into its fully-realized potential. One such use occurs within the supply chain, where IoT devices play a significant role in improving productivity, efficiency, and profitability. But where did supply chain IoT get its start, and how did it get to where it is today?
