Cargo tracking and inquiry is a very important part of international logistics, which can help cargo owners or logistics companies grasp the location and status of goods in real time, so as to improve the efficiency of logistics operations.
Below I will analyze how to track and query goods in international logistics, and introduce some related content.
First, the application of cargo tracking technology 1Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology: The goods are carried with RFID tags, and logistics practitioners can easily obtain cargo information through RFID readers, including current location, transportation history, etc.
2.Global Positioning System (GPS): GPS devices installed on vehicles or containers can track the location of goods in real time and provide precise positioning information.
3.Electronic Data Interchange (EDI): The automatic exchange of data between logistics companies and ** merchants and freight forwarders through the EDI system, including waybills, customs declarations, etc., helps to understand the status of goods in real time.
4.Internet of Things (IoT): Through IoT sensors and devices, information such as temperature and humidity of goods can be connected to the logistics system to monitor the environment of goods.
Second, the process of cargo tracking and inquiry 1Cargo identification and registration: In international logistics, each cargo is identified and registered in the system, including the basic information of the goods, destination, planned transportation route, etc.
2.Monitoring the transportation of goods: Through the above-mentioned technical means, logistics practitioners can monitor the transportation process of goods in real time, including the loading and unloading of goods, transshipment and other links.
3.Real-time update and query: The logistics system will update the latest status of the goods to the database in real time, and the shipper or logistics company can query the current location of the goods, estimated arrival time and other information through the system.
4.Exception handling: If there is an abnormal situation in the goods, such as delay, loss, etc., the system will automatically alarm and trigger the corresponding processing process to ensure that the goods can be processed and resolved in time.
3. Advantages of cargo tracking and inquiry1Improved visibility: Through the cargo tracking and tracking system, the shipper or logistics company can understand the transportation of goods in real time and improve the visibility of the transportation process.
2.Improve transportation efficiency: Through real-time monitoring and updating, problems in transportation can be quickly discovered, and corresponding measures can be taken in time to improve transportation efficiency.
3.Strengthen security control: The cargo tracking and tracking system can help the cargo owner or logistics company quickly find the abnormal situation of the goods, strengthen the security control measures of the goods, and reduce the risk of loss or damage of the goods.
4.Optimize the management of the first chain: through the cargo tracking and query system, the owner or logistics company can better grasp the situation of the first chain, optimize the logistics operation, and improve the level of the first chain management.
Cargo tracking and tracking plays a pivotal role in international logistics.
Through the use of advanced technical means, with perfect processes and systems, shippers or logistics companies can grasp the location and status of goods in real time, and improve the efficiency and safety of logistics operations.
Cargo tracking and inquiry has become the core link of modern logistics management, which is of great significance for improving the level of international logistics and meeting customer needs.
