In today’s supply chain situation, this has to be among the most frequently asked questions (FAQs). However, even under what may have been considered normal times prior to COVID-19, it still is a legitimate FAQ. Tracking shipments that are critical or essential may allow more expensive tracking solutions but if the cost is reasonable, many more companies would offer tracking and many customers would be willing to pay a reasonable price for the service. An undesirable result from a low-cost tracker is waste when its tracking function is fulfilled and it is no longer needed.
为了帮助物流公司优化其运营并使用最新数字技术提高透明度，Moeco, an IoT-based tracking solutions company, created a disposable mini tracker, called the Moeco Act tracker. The 10 by 10 centimeters sticker with a thickness of 16 millimeters provides a slim and lightweight IoT device so there is no need to change the configuration of the cargo. Unlike approaches that require a logistics company to track a shipment’s condition at the container level or pallet level (with a reduced the amount of cargo transported), with the new tracker, it is possible to track the conditions at the pallet level without changing the cargo configuration.
使用4G和5G蜂窝网络，同时跟踪五个参数（位置，光，温度，湿度和冲击），意味着物流公司可以纠正在产品降低之前违反客户要求的运输条件。
For environmental sustainability, each tracker contains less than two grams of lithium and can be recycled with plastic waste.
Activation of the sticker is quite simple and only requires three steps:
- 将保护膜剥落在贴纸后部，然后将其粘在货物上；
- Press the button on the sticker to activate it; and then
- Create a shipment on the Moeco platform, adding activated trackers to it.
每个跟踪器的有效期为6个月。
