Shipment
Description
The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming prevalent within many different industries, and a new area of growth is being seen, especially in transportation.
The transportation industry has now become the second-largest segment investing in IoT. One of the key areas where this investment has been used is fleet management and logistics and more recently in shipping companies.
