Use Cases Transportation Supply Chain Visibility

	Supply Chain Visibility

Overview	Supply chain visibility solutions provide visibility into the movement of raw materials, components, and finished goods from suppliers to manufacturers to the final buyer. Solutions are typically built on a centralized cloud-based platform that integrates data from multiple systems, including those those of partners. Technologies such as Smart Sensors, RFID, and digital ledger protocols can enable additional functionality. For example, digital ledger technology can keep logs of all transactions occurring on the network in a secure way, while providing supply chain partners with access to specific data. Visibility solutions can enhance the efficiency and transparency of supply chains, record the quantity and transfer of products as they change hands between supply chain nodes, track change orders and buy orders, process shipment notifications, manage trade documents and receipts, link physical products to Bar Codes, and share information about processing or manufacturing processes with suppliers, logistics providers, and customers.

	Remote Cold Chain Monitoring Solution Challenges like Sub-standard quality milk because of not chilling at appropriate temperature by Operator & also differences in milk volume between procurement and chilling, at chilling center level and collection center level.
	Sirqul and Catalyst Workplace Activation Reveal the Future of Smart Offices This partnership will disrupt the “traditional” office furniture conversation by examining the intersection of people, place, and technology. We realize it is increasingly evident that the design of spaces is an enabler to meaningful interactions between people and fosters a sense of community and culture by taking on the challenges of designing for a more productive, collaborative, and inspiring workplace, leveraging technology to process data on how people work, communicate and engage with one another.
	Global MPLS Connectivity Solutions As Europe’s second largest airline, Air France-KLM wanted to harness the latest technology innovations to help enhance the user experience of its many passengers, as well as support new aircraft as they were added to the company’s expanding fleet. Tata Communications’ global network was able to help.Air France-KLM’s business desired up-to-date organization-wide digital transformation. While its current customers wanted to fly on next-generation aircraft, Air France-KLM knew it also needed to expand into emerging markets and make the most of global travel opportunities opening up to it.The challenge was that Air France-KLM’s technology infrastructure needed to be improved to enhance the passenger experience and also needed to integrate cloud services and new applications to support huge amounts of data coming from next-generation aircraft.

How is shipping tracking technology made up? It is made up of three things: sensors, connectivity, and applications. Sensors make it possible to know the location of your containers, and the connectivity piece (which is particularly difficult when at sea) transmits that location data back to an application. Often shipping companies will pull the location data out of an API and put it into their logistics platform, where the data can be analyzed. Which systems enable to control transportation? Track and trace features are available on a transportation management system (TMS). With this technology, companies have insight into carrier performance, transportation costs, and market trends as they manage their logistics. Log in to view content
