Connecting supply chains with an IoT data integration platform
Supply chains can become vulnerable to disruption, and without access to real-time, traceable information, it can be difficult to plan for or respond to problems. This video shows how the Internet of Things (IoT) provides the opportunity for supply chains to become more connected, and for partners in the supply chain to improve their planning and performance.
