Real-time tracking

Cellular IoT delivers the foundation of logistics – the real-time tracking of delivery vehicles and shipments anywhere in the world across trains, trucks, airplanes, shipping vessels, ports, and more. This data enables all parties across the value chain to have accurate status and delivery information.

Quality control

With real-time asset tracking, companies can see detailed information about environmentals (like temperature and humidity). In the produce shipping industry, IoT-powered sensors help get food to its destination in better condition which helps retailers earn a higher price and reduce waste.

Transportation route management

Advanced fleet management systems detect traffic and weather conditions along a vehicle’s route and recommend alternate routes as needed. Fleet-wide, this cuts down on fuel consumption and yields other benefits in saved time and increased safety.

Digital warehousing & yard management

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and autonomous yard trucks help decrease errors, streamline operations, create efficiencies, and improve safety. It’s no surprise that autonomous yard trucks are estimated to grow significantly at a global CAGR of 52.7% from 2022 to 2030.

Autonomous trucking

The trucking industry is facing a major labor shortage, with an estimated shortfall of 80K drivers in the US alone. Autonomous trucks have the potential to reduce the total cost of ownership of long-haul trucking by more than 30%. Plus, they offer increased asset utilization and operate on routes that human drivers cannot complete in a single day.

FAQs

Keeping our devices connected across so many modalities and geographies is a constant challenge. Is Cellular IoT really an option with that much complexity?

Yes. But, you don’t have to take our word for it. Start with this white paper that features Intelligent Cargo Systems. It discusses how connectivity took up much of their time before partnering with Hologram. Now, it’s no longer an issue and they can able to focus on improving efficiency, reducing CO2 emissions, and growing their business.

Cost is another issue for us. In the past we’ve had contracts with multiple carriers in different countries that take too much time to manage.

Purfresh/Escavox faced the same issues before moving to Hologram. Their devices in fruit and produce shipping containers have connected with up to 126 different carriers in 54 countries in a single month. With the Hologram Global SIM in their containers, they were able to manage their data usage in the Hologram Dashboard and save thousands of dollars by simply pausing unused SIM cards

How does satellite connectivity fit in with Cellular IoT?

With modems now capable of operating off of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, an interesting fallback scenario using cellular and satellite for outage-proof reliability is emerging. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for IoT devices that operate in diverse environments, from urban areas with dense cellular coverage to remote locations where satellite is the only viable option. Read more about the top three questions about satellite connectivity for IoT.

It’s a joy to be able to see where the ships are going, the conditions that they’re facing, and what’s actually happening on the ground, and to get that data coming back to us.
