If the term \u201cInternet of Things\u201d (IoT) sounds complicated and confusing, or you\u2019re not sure how it can apply to fleet management, you\u2019re not alone. The good news is that it\u2019s actually pretty easy to understand, and can be an incredibly useful tool when it comes to optimizing fleet performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is IoT?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Internet of Things generally describes anything that connects to the Internet. More specifically, it refers to the network of objects \u2014 or \u201cthings\u201d \u2014 that are embedded with technology to connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the Internet.<\/span><\/p>\n

IoT is here now, with billions of connected devices just in the U.S alone. IoT is used to create smart cities, in smart homes, as wearable tech, and more, and has been well-adopted by industries such as agriculture, food service, and health care.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Does IoT Mean for Fleets?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Fleets and the transportation industry have had their unfair share of supply chain and logistics challenges for years. But, with rapid digital transformation across all industries, wireless solutions are needed more than ever to operate in an increasingly connected world. It\u2019s crucial that fleet operators embrace this new era of tech.<\/span><\/p>\n
