WHY LoRaWAN
®
IS THE LOGICAL CHOICE
FOR ASSET-TRACKING CONNECTIVITY
inv entory data locating and tracking tooling racks and
packages. These expensive assets are often difficult to find
in a large warehouse when they are out of the process flow
or in the wrong part of the ilding.
ore than 000 asset-tracking solu tions hav e een
su pplied to Lau ak or se at its assemb ly site in sou thwest
rance, and are integrated into Lau ak' s manu actu ring
containers or accu rate monitoring or items in transit
throu gh the company s acilities.
Lau ak has seen a redu ction in produ ction lead times p
to 20% and a drop in downtime of at least 0% ollowing
the implementation of the LoRaWAN-b ased sensors. he
company already plans to ex pand the deploy ment to its
site in ortu gal, and is ex pected to implement the sensors
at sites in anada, ndia and ex ico in addition to its other
sites in rance.
CONCLUSION
or asset-tracking applications, which hav e relativ ely low
data pay loads and seldom req ire low latency or high
ality of serv ice, it' s clear that LoRaWAN of ers the
coverage, battery life, deployment ease and cost efficiency
the logistics indu stry req ires. LoRaWAN is ersatile,
flexible, cost effective, reliable and secure. In addition, it
of ers the widest ecosy stem of app and dev ice dev elopers,
so ou can get ex actly the right dev ices and connectiv ity
ou need or ou r logistics deploy ment.
