EMQ Cloud-Edge Integrated Smart Logistics and Transportation Management
As the logistics industry rapidly evolves, demands on traditional management and transportation technologies increase. To meet these challenges, intelligent logistics management solutions powered by IoT technology and supported by cloud-edge integration have emerged. Logistics data from barcodes, RFID, sensors, GPS systems, and other sources are collected and processed at the edge, then integrated with cloud platforms to enable smart management of transportation, warehousing, distribution, packaging, and loading and unloading processes.
Challenge
Data and system silos
In the process of logistics transportation management, there are many devices and information systems involved. These systems usually exist independently, making it difficult to share and exchange data. This leads to the problem of data silos, which makes it difficult to form comprehensive logistics information management capabilities.
Low data quality
Data quality in logistics transportation information systems is a major challenge. The data format used in different systems may differ, and the information may be incomplete or inaccurate, which makes it difficult to ensure data quality and accurately reflect the actual situation of logistics business.
Lack of data standards
There are many intelligent devices and information systems related to logistics transportation management, and the data formats between different types of transportation vehicles, intelligent warehousing devices, and systems are inconsistent, making it difficult to exchange and share data.
Solution
EMQ's cloud-edge IoT data access and management services provide an integrated solution for logistics transportation management scenarios, from data collection, processing, platform access, to unified management.
Logistics companies' transportation management involves multiple types of devices and sensors, such as transportation vehicles and warehouses, which typically use different communication protocols. Neuron industrial gateway software can be deployed in vehicle devices and logistics warehouse sites to provide access to and conversion of different protocols into the MQTT, enabling high-quality data collection and management of devices and sensors. Through the eKuiper edge computing and edge flow data processing software, logistics companies can unify the data format from multiple data sources.
On cloud side, EMQX enables the unified aggregation of data from different business devices and systems in the logistics industry. It aggregates data from various sources to provide real-time monitoring and analysis results for enterprises, helping logistics companies optimize transportation processes and improve transportation efficiency and quality.
EMQX ECP (Edge to Cloud Platform) provides one-stop edge software configuration, monitoring, and control management services , which is saving a lot of on-site manual configuration and management work and greatly improving operational efficiency.
