As an outsider, I find that quite a strange reaction. I mean, when I ship something with DHL, Fedex, or UPS, they're able to give me (I assume) quite accurate tracking information. So clearly they already have a bunch of sensors in their sorting facility and trucks to monitor when a package has arrived/departed.
From what I've heard of Amazon logistics centres, it seems that they would already have thousands of sensors there to scan, transport, label, etc items in the warehouse.
But I do work with electricity utilities, where technologies like FTP and ModbusTCP are still considered cutting edge...
- neom 10y agoYeah, for sure not at that scale!!! I wish I was talking to their CTOs ;) Think 10-20MM a year in operating costs (small feet of trucks, few large facilities) - you're on the right track when you mentioned utilities. Even a business like $TWNK will likely have to think about this if they have not already. :)
