Connected containers: intelligent logistics

Optimization of the logistics chain and delivery of Colissimos with Kuzzle IoT

The Kuzzle IoT platform was chosen by the innovation department of the Mail and Parcel Services Branch (BSCC) of the La Poste group as an agnostic IoT data platform as part of its Colissimos mobile cash register geolocation and tracking project.

The IoT Smart Logistics platform, Kuzzle IoT, geolocates the position of mobile boxes in real time and makes it possible to visualize the route followed by each box during its journey, while integrating this data into the information system. Thanks to the Asset Tracking functionality, La Poste provides real-time tracking to logistics platform teams. Kuzzle IoT aggregates and visualizes all the data from each sensor (geolocation, temperature, humidity, shock detection, etc.) while connecting this data to the existing information system in order to communicate this data in real time to the recipient sites.

250000 Daily geolocations

1800 Connected mobile cash registers

“

The strength of the Kuzzle IoT solution is to offer an open, flexible and scalable platform to support us in the long term. The platform’s agnostic approach allows us to use several types of sensors and to test manufacturers in the IoT ecosystem

Connected containers and logistics optimization

The IoT sensors positioned in the La Poste group’s mobile cash registers make it possible to track the movements of cash registers in real time in their Kuzzle IoT platform and to alert the logistics platforms of their arrival in order to speed up unloading at the dock, reduce transport times and thus improve the quality of the service provided to the customer.
