A question for people in logistics and manufacturing: how do you keep track of returnable assets like pallets, containers or cable drums today?
Spreadsheets, barcode scans, GPS trackers, or mostly phone calls to the site?
We're asking because we built an automated tracking system for a major cable manufacturer whose drums were routinely lost between warehouses and field sites. Using a combination of NB-IoT and LoRa trackers, a mobile logging app for field crews, and an automated alert system, they finally got complete visibility across the lifecycle.
Whatβs working (or failing) in your asset tracking workflow today?
