Asset tracking
In global manufacturing and commerce, raw materials, components and final goods can travel long distances through warehouses and logistic hubs before arriving at their final destination. More often than not, the direct or indirect value of any particular item warrants certain costs associated with monitoring its condition and position.
Analog and power management considerations for low power asset tracker design
With the advent of the industrial internet of things (IIoT) and a continued move towards shorter supply chains, tracking deliveries and consignments is increasingly necessary. Compact, robust, battery-powered wireless asset trackers are regularly attached to shipping containers and pallets to keep customers and suppliers informed of delivery progress and how well the goods have been treated during transportation.
