| dc.description.abstract | Trade zones have become vital hubs for global commerce, facilitating the seamless movement of goods from sellers to buyer’s premises or from warehouses to seller’s depots. However, the challenges associated with tracking and monitoring these goods in vast trade zones have impelled the adoption of advanced technologies. Traditional tracking methods often struggle to provide real-time visibility and security for goods in transit, leading to delays, loss, and compromised supply chain integrity. However, this report introduces the application of LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) combined with GPS (Global Positioning System) technology for efficient and cost-effective goods tracking in trade zones as well as addressing the challenges.
LoRaWAN, a low-power, long-range wireless communication protocol, has emerged as an ideal solution for deploying large-scale IoT (Internet of Things) networks within trade zones. Its wide coverage range and minimal power requirements make it well-suited for tracking goods across expansive areas without significant infrastructure investments. Integrating GPS technology with LoRaWAN enhances the tracking capabilities by providing precise real-time location data of goods in transit.
The proposed LoRaWAN-based GPS goods tracking system provides several key benefits. It offers real-time tracking, enabling stakeholders to monitor the precise location of goods at any given time. This ensures better planning, reduced transit times, and improved overall operational efficiency. The LoRaWAN infrastructure facilitates the seamless transmission of GPS coordinates from the tracking devices to the centralized server, where the data is processed, visualized, and analyzed.
The tracking devices, equipped with GPS modules and LoRaWAN transceivers, are attached to the goods being transported. These devices periodically collect GPS coordinates, which are then transmitted via LoRaWAN to the server that receives and analyzes the GPS location data, allowing trade zone operators to monitor the real-time location of goods. Through a user-friendly interface, authorized personnel can access the system to view the location information, track the movement of goods.
The implementation of this LoRaWAN-based GPS goods tracking system offers several advantages. It reduces reliance on costly cellular networks, provides extended battery life for tracking devices, enables wide coverage within trade zones, and ensures secure transmission of sensitive location data.
In conclusion, the proposed LoRaWAN-based GPS goods tracking system demonstrates the potential for enhancing supply chain management in trade zones. By leveraging the benefits of LoRaWAN technology and GPS capabilities, the system enables accurate and reliable real-time tracking of goods, leading to improved operational efficiency and enhanced security within trade zones. | en_US |
