An affordable, battery-powered indoor/outdoor logistics and supply chain tracker and a refrigerated logistics asset portal are among the finalists in the Logistics & Supply Chain Management category of the 2024 Australian IoT Awards.
The awards are the official awards program of IoT Alliance Australia, Australia’s peak industry body for Internet of Things (IoT), and IoT Hub.
The entries provide a snapshot of how IoT is being used to advance productivity, security and sustainability across Australian industry and government, from water and energy to manufacturing and government services.
Winners of IoT Awards categories will be announced over networking drinks and canapes at the culmination of the 2024 IoT Impact conference on June 13 at UTS in Sydney.
In its fifth year, the IoT Impact conference and exhibition will explore, debate and uncover how Australia organisations can achieve sustainability goals, achieve trust and implement IoT technologies to create a data smart Australia. Purchase tickets and see the IoT Impact Conference agenda here.
The Logistics & Supply Chain Management Award finalists
Digital Matter’s Barra Edge - a low-cost, battery-powered, indoor/outdoor logistic and supply chain tracker
This solution is designed to be an affordable, battery-powered indoor/outdoor logistics and supply chain tracker compatible with LTE-M/NB-IoT networks.
Tailored for low to mid-value asset tracking and recovery at scale, Barra Edge is intended for deployment on assets where current solutions are economically impractical.
It is designed to enable businesses to monitor assets that previously posed challenges to return on investment due to the high costs associated with existing tracking solutions.
Scully RSV’s ScullyLive IoT-powered fleet management portal
The ScullyLive customer portal provides reporting and dashboards to support operations of customers of Australian refrigerated logistics sales and hire company Scully RSV.
The company uses telematics and IoT to manage compliance to maintenance schedules for vehicle and refrigeration assets, asset availability and stocktake at branches and repair centres and provide customers with temperature reporting.
The portal, built on Inauro’s Perspio platform, has enabled Scully RSV to grow its vehicle fleet while integrating third-party telematics into operational processes, without costly hardware rationalisation.
Unique Micro Design’s custom RFID solution for Citizen Watches Australia
This solution enabled Citizen Watches Australia to scan RFID tags inside boxes before dispatching them to retailers, providing automated supply chain visibility to Citizen head office in Japan.
Passive UHF RFID tags were pre-encoded at the factory and embedded in the watch label, with UMD's RFID Advance Controller for Embedded (RACE) IoT Edge platform RFID reader energising the passive UHF tag by energy harvesting and data transmitted back to the reader via back-scatter.
UMD skills were used to design and optimise the system to provide consistent reliable reads, enhanced by using the RACE platform.
