Tiivistelmä
Industry-leading companies deploy the latest digital tools, invest in advanced analytical applications, and purchase the latest data visualization software. Creating a digital platform allows companies to manage information and material flows in real-time.
This study examines development trends and opportunities for using the Internet of Things (IoT) sensor technologies in terms of cargo transportation in Supply Chain Management (SCM). The main goal of this study is to identify and analyze the possibilities of applying modern sensor and network technologies in supply chain management. Relevant literature sources have been collected to define the concepts of SCM, IoT, and leading technologies related to IoT. This information has enabled the creation of a conceptual framework that includes analyzed IoT technology solutions and related 5G and LoRa networks.
Also, an expert survey was conducted with representatives of large companies to confirm the value of using and implementing sensor technologies in SCM. The results of the survey showed that companies see good prospects for the implementation of IoT technologies in SCM. However, some obstacles exist that do not allow companies to fully rely on and use these technologies as key tools for effective supply chain management.
