Cargo Signal's Guide to IoT, Part 9: Why You Should Bet on Cargo Signal's IoT-powered Sensors

Today, the market for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, used for transmitting data to identify and track objects, was worth $14.27 billion in 2022. 

Weather events, cargo theft, and other threats to business continuity are on the rise. You may not be able to prevent unexpected disruptions, but the right tools can assure that you react sooner rather than later. 

If you’re apprehensive about implementing sensor-based logistics into your supply chain, consider the following statistics:

• $30 billion of cargo is stolen every year.
• 71% - 87% of global cargo theft happens while cargo is in transit.
• Over the past 20 years, extreme weather-related disasters have increased by 83%.
• In 2021, trucking companies in the United States suffered a record deficit of 80,000 drivers.
• In 2022, 73% of warehouse operators experienced labor shortages.

The IoT-powered sensors that Cargo Signal attaches to global freight track real-time data about shipments, providing end-to-end supply chain visibility. Our sensors continue to monitor and collect data about your freight throughout the disturbance, even during a systems or power outage, so your cargo stays monitored and protected at all times. 

With Cargo Signal, you gain the real-time data you need to proactively manage supply chain disruptions and the power to accumulate a store of historical data that can be proactively leveraged to bolster agility year after year.

Are You Ready to Implement Sensor-based Logistics?

Ask yourself:

• Am I unable to track my shipments and inventory in real time?
• Have I been unable to create contingency plans in the face of world crises or extreme weather events due to a lack of real-time data?
• Am I experiencing theft, damage, or delay of my cargo in transit, without any ability to troubleshoot in real time?

If yes, contact Cargo Signal today so we can help bring your operations up to speed with the latest and most secure supply chain technology available.
