Carbon Footprint Monitoring in Logistics

Carbon footprint monitoring in logistics is made possible by the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT technologies open up new possibilities to monitor, analyze and manage the carbon footprint across the supply chain at levels of detail not possible before. Solutions for carbon footprint monitoring in logistics that involve IoT sensor devices offer unprecedented visibility into the environmental impact of the movement of the goods across the supply chain. IoT enabled carbon emissions reporting is calculated based on effective transport data instead of the less accurate planning data. As the sensing devices are driving along with the cargo, companies can analyze emissions on a shipment level and use the collected data to make key business decisions.
