Dive Brief:

  • IBM and Sigfox, an internet of things (IoT) service provider, have launched a digital "Track and Trace" solution for French auto manufacturer Groupe PSA’s container shipping operations. 
  • "This 'Track & Trace' system allows us to know, individually and in detail, where our containers are located," Yann Vincent, Groupe PSA EVP of Manufacturing & Supply Chain, said in the press release. He added the sensor-enabled containers help to prevent breakdowns, reduce waste and optimize container rotations.
  • The initiative currently tracks containers in transit between select suppliers and factories for Groupe PSA.The partners plan to roll out the platform to other European manufacturers this year.
