Project Idea
Develop an IoT-based system to monitor and manage logistics and supply chain operations in real-time. The system tracks vehicle location, shipment conditions (like temperature, humidity, shock), and delivery status using sensors and cloud-based dashboards. It ensures transparency, reduces losses, and optimizes supply chain efficiency, making it ideal for logistics companies and smart warehouses.
Project Description
The IoT-based Smart Logistics and Supply Chain Management System uses a combination of GPS modules, environmental sensors (DHT11) for temperature and humidity), and a Node MCU ESP32 for real-time data acquisition and cloud communication. The system monitors the location of goods in transit, tracks environmental conditions of sensitive shipments, and updates the delivery status on a cloud platform like Blynk Users can access this data via web dashboard, receive alerts for threshold breaches, and visualize logistics data for informed decision-making.
