GPS (Global Positioning System)

GPS (Global Positioning System) is a satellite-based technology that enables real-time tracking of products as they move through the supply chain. In the packaging industry, GPS monitors the location and movement of goods, providing accurate and up-to-date information on their status. This technology is particularly valuable for logistics and distribution, where knowing the exact position of shipments at any given time can enhance efficiency and decision-making.

GPS tracking systems work by receiving signals from satellites to pinpoint the precise location of an object, such as a vehicle, container, or individual product. This data is then transmitted to a central system where it can be monitored and analysed. The information provided by GPS helps businesses ensure timely deliveries, optimise routes, and improve overall supply chain management. Additionally, it enhances security by enabling the tracking of goods in transit, reducing the risk of theft or loss.

Incorporating GPS into product tracking offers significant benefits, including better inventory management, reduced operational costs, and improved customer satisfaction through accurate delivery times. It also allows for quick response to any disruptions or delays in the supply chain, ensuring that products reach their destination as planned.
