About digital transformation in logistics
This industry has been facing challenges, including labor shortages and overworked workers. In recent years, significant social changes due to the expanding EC market and the pandemic have led to a surge in small-lot deliveries, worsening the challenges.
Digital transformation will help address these issues but is often hampered by a reliance on established analog work processes. Its key building blocks include broadening people's understanding and implementing a system that perfectly delivers what is needed in the field.
Our solution image
Our solutions accelerate digital transformation in logistics by visualizing assets for more efficient delivery management.
Specifically, the system collects asset location data and displays on a dashboard for optimum asset utilization. Digitalized and streamlined asset management eliminates additional work, such as purchasing another asset, and reduces staff workload.
Features
-
01 Battery-powered GPS trackers
The GPS trackers work on batteries and do not need to be plugged in. The devices are waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof for outdoor use and are fixed and installed with magnets or bolts.
-
02 Sigfox IoT network for low-cost, low-power, long-range communications
Sigfox IoT network for low-cost, low-power, long-range communications
The system uses Sigfox, an LPWA* (Low Power Wide Area) service for data collection, enabling lower power consumption, broader coverage, and lower costs.
*LPWA (Low Power Wide Area, or LPWAN) is a type of wireless communications technology that, as the name implies, is designed to provide low-power, long-range, wide-area communications. -
03 Location management on the dashboard
The application dashboard displays information based on collected data, visualizing the desired information and supporting more efficient location management.
Functions
-
Flexible data collection intervals and battery life
You can customize the interval for collecting location data. If you opt for daily data collection, the battery will last for approximately five years before requiring replacement.
-
Location information visualization on a dashboard
The dashboard provides a real-time visualization of the latest information based on collected data, offering a clear understanding of asset location.
-
Location history management for individual assets
The application can also visualize the movement of individual assets, such as containers and pallets, on a map. This allows staff to see how efficiently they are transported and gain valuable insights to improve efficiency.
-
Alerts for idle or missing assets
Our system can detect when pallets, containers, chassis, and other goods-carrying assets are missing or inactive in unexpected locations. The dashboard shows these identified assets based on specific criteria (e.g., duration, location), and you can also receive email alerts. This feature enhances asset utilization and reduces unnecessary asset purchases.

Actual use cases
Case1 Pallet management
- Challenges
- Pallets staying idle and locating their positions
- Achievements
- Improved pallet retrieval and reduced unnecessary costs
The specialized pallets used by a building materials manufacturer often ended up idle or went missing when repurposed at construction sites. Consequently, pallet shortages arose, necessitating additional purchases. By introducing the location management system, early pallet retrieval was made possible, preventing losses, and thus reducing the need for extra purchases.
①GPS trackers are installed on pallets carrying cargo to automatically collect their location data.
②f a pallet remains stationary in a predefined area for a week, the system automatically sends notifications via email or the application interface to indicate that the pallet is idle.
③When an alert is received, the staff initiates the retrieval process.
Case2 Location management of trucks and chassis
- Challenges
- A trucking company's difficulty
in swiftly determining the
whereabouts of its trucks and chassis - Achievements
- Efficient tracking assets,
optimized transportation
planning, and more efficient delivery
A trucking company previously faced challenges in quickly locating its trucks and chassis, which often remained inactive in ports or yards, resulting in operational inefficiencies. With our location management system, they can now efficiently track their assets for optimized transportation planning, including load management, destinations, and re-delivery.
①Only the trucks and chassis with known locations were heavily used.
②The application manages asset locations using GPS trackers and Sigfox technology.
③All asset locations are identified.
