SUPPLY CHAIN MONITORING AND OEM/ODM SOLUTIONS
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) and ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) refer to the outsourcing of components of products to third-party manufacturing companies. To put it simply, there are many companies that design a specific product but either lack the capacity to produce that product or simply do not want to take the pain of mass production. The same is true for Apple, the phones are designed by Apple and the mass production is handed over to manufacturing companies that facilitate the production. Such manufacturing companies are known as OEM.
The difference between OEM and ODM is indicated by their names.
OEM manufacturing companies are responsible for manufacturing the equipment of a product for another company.
On the other hand, ODM manufacturing companies are responsible for both design and equipment. For example, a company named XYZ would come up with an idea, contact an ODM company and communicate the main idea; the ODM Company then gets their own R&D department involved, comes up with the design and produces the product.
For supply chain monitoring solutions, companies make use of various tools like GPS trackers, Bluetooth Beacons, M2M devices, IoT devices and so on. In this article, we will be discussing IoT Devices and their many uses and advantages.
IOT DEVICES
IoT or ‘Internet of Things’ is a system that enables the collection of data through devices and does not need any human involvement. IoT devices transmit data to a platform which is provided by the IoT device manufacturer so the data can be analyzed later. In this way, the businesses can make use of the data for various purposes like improving efficiency, security etc. IoT devices run on Bluetooth, WI FI or other cellular networks. Keep reading to find out more about the benefits of IoT devices:
- Tracking location
IoT devices can effectively track the location of assets. This can ensure security, real-time information about package delivery and updates about the changing location of assets. You can have real-time data on the location of every vehicle in your fleet. This allows you to decide the ideal route for your fleet vehicle so that it can avoid adjournments due to any sort of road construction, traffic jams, blocked roads or accidents.
The tracking information can be analyzed by the companies to determine their shortcomings and in improving their operational efficiency.
- Monitoring Temperature and Humidity levels
IoT devices monitor temperature and send alerts as soon as the temperature falls outside the set range. It also issues alerts in cases of collision, increased or decreased humidity levels. This helps in making sure that the product reaches the destination safe and without spoilage.
- Speed and Fuel Monitoring
IoT devices are designed to monitor speed, you can set a speed limit and the device will automatically turn off the engine if the speed exceeds that limit. Moreover, this device can monitor and send notifications about the consumption of fuel; you can set a limit for fuel as well. It will provide the most efficient route for your fleet drivers to take, help in time management and save business expenditure as well.
With information about speed, fuel and location, businesses can make informed decisions and develop strategies to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
- NB IoT Devices
Narrowband IoT devices are ideal for monitoring assets over a lengthy period of time. This technology runs on low power and transmits limited amount of information over time. It also provides reliable coverage in closed buildings as well as underground locations.
- Decreased response times for an improved customer service
Installing a tracking device in your fleet will improve your customer service which in turn means an increase in the profitability of the business. It will not only improve your response time in dealing with customers but will also let you select the nearest vehicle available to the desired location. This ensures a speedy delivery, an efficient service and happy customers.
- Improve safety for fleet vehicles
Another major benefit of IoT tracking devices in fleet vehicle management is the improvement of the overall safety of your entire fleet. A tracking device allows you to identify human driving errors and can point towards problems ahead of time, before you encounter an expensive repair bill due to problematic driving. When drivers are aware that their driving manner is being checked, they tend to have a greater sense of responsibility and will surely hesitate in taking unnecessary risks.
- Reduce losses due to the theft
It is important to reduce the risk of theft by installing a tracking system for your fleet vehicles. This can prevent stealing and loss of assets and help the businesses in avoiding extra expenses. When the vehicles are being tracked and have secure tracking devices attached, thieves also hesitate in approaching those vehicles as the chances of being caught are very high. In the unfortunate event of your fleet vehicle being stolen, this amazing technology gives you the means to track the stolen vehicle and recover it thereby reducing further loss.
