How Digital Cargo Monitoring Systems Work with Linbis
Cargo visibility has become a top priority in logistics. Customers demand real-time updates, while companies face risks such as delays, theft, or damage during transport. Traditional tracking systems are often reactive and fragmented, offering limited insights.
Introduction
With digital cargo monitoring systems, Linbis provides end-to-end visibility powered by IoT, AI, and real-time analytics. This technology ensures that shipments are monitored continuously, reducing risks and improving service quality.
Step 1: Integrate Cargo Data
Linbis connects multiple data points into a unified view:
- GPS and IoT devices → live location, temperature, humidity.
- Carrier APIs → shipment milestones and status updates.
- TMS/WMS integration → planned vs. actual cargo movements.
- External data → weather, traffic, and customs updates.
Step 2: Real-Time Cargo Tracking
- Continuous monitoring of shipments across modes (air, sea, land).
- Automated milestone updates (pickup, in-transit, customs, delivery).
- Smart dashboards showing live cargo status.
Step 3: Risk Detection and Alerts
- If temperature exceeds limits → AI sends alert for cold chain cargo.
- If unexpected route deviation occurs → Operations notified immediately.
- If shipment delay predicted → Customer portal updated in real time.
Step 4: Automate Workflows
- Alerts trigger workflows such as rerouting, notifying stakeholders, or booking backup carriers.
- Customers receive proactive updates instead of reactive calls.
- Compliance reports generated automatically for audits.
Step 5: Visualize in Dashboards
