Net4 IoT Logistics Solutions

Inventory management

Net4 can provide you with the technology to track and monitor your inventory across multiple sites and in transit, responding in real time to fluctuations in demand and issues in supply chains to make sure the goods you need are always where you need them, when you need them. Modern smart technology can analyse streams of data from your own sensors and systems and compare them against data from a host of external sources (weather forecasts, seasonal calendar, major sporting events, traffic reports…) to give you a detailed, timely and accurate response to current and upcoming circumstances across your network.

Our systems can be tailored to your specific requirements and present you with the information most useful to your business in a user-friendly dashboard or app on any smart device. Optimising routes, pre- and re-ordering can all be optimised through automation, with built-in intelligence that learns from historic data and responds to current events, allowing you to streamline your processes and guarantee your customers a reliable, responsive service.

Fleet Monitoring

Human machine interactions are common in logistics hubs, but there is a limit to the equipment humans can operate without compromising staff safety. Net4’s sensors can derisk technology by anticipating collisions with pinpoint accuracy and stopping moving plant in a fraction of the time it would take a human to react, giving you the confidence to modernise with faster, more powerful machines working in close synchronicity.

Our sensors can be used to detect unstable or improperly loaded racks in time to prevent costly collapse; they can monitor use of vehicles across your fleet to identify efficiencies and optimise your maintenance schedule; and they can monitor driver behaviour and unauthorised use to alert you to a need for further training or intervention.

Asset Management

Mobile assets can go astray in a busy warehouse or logistics hub, causing staff to waste precious time in locating the right equipment to do their job. Net4’s asset management tools mean your workforce can lay their hands on a trolley, pick and pack basket, scanner or any other key item whenever they need them – and alert you to theft, wastage and unauthorised removal.
