Across the supply chain automated tracking and monitoring of goods increases productivity, shortens cycle-times, minimizes stock on hand and ensures work safety. Connectivity is key – new technology, such as AI and analytics, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) for picking and packing and video-based inventory management systems, need corner-to-corner wireless coverage within warehouses and adjacent outdoor areas where trailers await loading and unloading. In public areas, the ability to ensure tracking, maintenance and safe driving of fleets while  in-transit requires consistent networking visibility and control from cargo sensors to truck mounted telematics units.
