Logistics chain damage is a reality that each logistics manager faces. Have you ever evaluated how much you are paying for these damages? Every time you ship or store your goods, they become subject to damage due to mishandling resulting in goods arriving in poor condition, they put your reputation, your customer relationship, and your bottom line at risk. You need to monitor your supply chain logistics if you want to ensure operational performance and business success.

Masplantiz M2M platform MIMTIS helps you to bring visibility into your logistics chain through monitoring of different aspects which include:

• Material handling monitoring
• Cargo parameter monitoring
• Pilferage monitoring
• Inventory monitoring

The system assists you in valuable data acquisition for the following functions:

• Product and packaging design
• Warehousing
• Shipping

The data is collected from various assets through RFID/Barcode labels, sensors and data loggers; and transmitted over communication networks to the central MIMTIS server. MIMTIS allows data viewing and analyzing through a rich user interface or provides it to third party enterprise applications. The system integrates all critical assets like inventory, MHE, trucks, surveillance cameras, access control devices etc. and makes them work toward a common goal of efficient and damage free logistics chain operations.

The best way to achieve MIMTIS implementations is:

1. Evaluate your supply chain logistics by identifying the key metrics that will contribute to business results.

2. Start with monitoring of a few parameters. "It's better to start with an 80 percent solution, because the last 20 percent will cost 10 times more," says Michael Hugos, the author of the best-selling Essentials of Supply Chain Management.

3. Integrate the system with your enterprise application to make data flow seamless.
