The Internet of things (IoT) refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the Internet, all collecting and sharing data. It is a paradigm where physical objects, devices, and machines are embedded with sensors, software, and network connectivity to collect, exchange, and act upon data. The logistics sector is one of the domains where IoT has emerged as a formidable force, propelling innovation, efficiency, and transformation. IoT in logistics represents the integration of physical devices within the logistics and transportation industry network that communicate and exchange data without human intervention. IoT enables devices like sensors, vehicles, and equipment to connect over the Internet, creating a more dynamic, responsive, and interconnected logistics environment. In this paper, we will dig deep into the applications, benefits, and future trends of IoT in the logistics sector.
