Abstract
Today, mobile IoT (m-IoT) connectivity is one of the significant enablers of Supply Chain 4.0 with its capabilities of secure connectivity over large areas at low cost and with low device complexity. The purpose of this chapter is to shed light on the evolution of m-IoT paradigm within context of supply chain management. The potential of LTE, 4G, and future 5G technologies and the impact of m-IoT enabling technologies, LTE-M, and NB-IoT on digital transformation of SCM are investigated through commercial deployments; current status and future directions are discussed in terms of supply chain efficiency and supply chain visibility. Accordingly, this chapter first outlines the technical architecture and features of NB-IoT and LTE-M technologies and then explores how m-IoT connectivity is creating value for supply chains through commercial deployment examples. Exploration of m-IoT potential on supply chain operations will ensure new insights and opportunities for further advancement and evolution of IoT paradigm as a means of productivity.
