GPS and IOT

Most people today have a basic understanding of GPS – Global Positioning Systems. It is a device that receives and sends messages to a satellite network allowing GPS users to pinpoint locations across the earth.

IoT stands for the Internet of Things. IoT is nothing more than a way to transfer information without direct people and computing interaction. IoT is a very powerful technology and can collect data from a variety of devices – including GPS vehicle tracking devices.

The combination of IoT and GPS means a company can even more precisely track, monitor and assign deliveries, service calls, fuel management and more without near the previously logistical systems necessary.

It is in this particular industry, the GPS vehicle tracking, that the combination of the two devices truly shine. No longer will there be a major concern about lost time and revenue because of traffic issues. The IoT and GPS can scout ahead, finding the best possible routes, even it is means circumnavigating, and still arrive on time with a delivery or service call.

IoT and GPS is not limited to just the vehicle itself. Proper planning can ensure the vehicle arrives with sensitive cargo, such as perishables, sensitive pharmaceuticals and the like. Customers will be happier, shareholders will be happier and the company will celebrate better profits with less revenue lost.

Consider the following scenario: A shipment of frozen foods leaves a distribution warehouse for delivery at a grocery chain. Along the way to the delivery, the freezer unit begins to fail. The combination of the GPS and IoT will alert the warehouse of the potential issue and be able to make arrangements to have the product delivered on time while the other unit is sent back for repairs.
