Technology is transforming distribution

We did a blog on this!

Creating rich sets of data

• Warehouse Management System

• Conveyor Control System(s)

• Labor Management System

• Fork Lift Telemetry Data

• Forecasting

• RMA/Returns

• Transportation System(s)

WMSight is connecting that data

Cities want to connect their

data too

Connected Vehicles

• Crash Reports

IoT data comes from a device built by the manufacturer or an after market provider

Connected Vehicles

• Crash Impact Reports

IoT data comes from a device put on a city vehicle

Connected Vehicles

• Crash Reports

• Safety Checklists

• Asset Utilization

• Predictive Maintenance

• Interacting with sensors

Traffic lights, signals, etc. that interact with IoTdata from your car

Same with handhelds

• Asset Utilization

• Predictive Maintenance

• Transaction history

Machine data aggregated over thousands of devices and fed back to the manufacturer

Scan data fed back to a central database

Don’t cities use devices?

• Meter readers

• Inspection tools

• Mobile data entry

• Parking ticketdispenser

….just brainstorming

So what does this mean for us?

• Automated maintenance

• Improved asset utilizationReduced Costs

• Improved communication

• Automated workflowsBetter Service

• Inside the warehouse

• Outside the warehouse

Safer Communities
