Industrial IoT for Logistics

LoRaWAN sensors, gateways and dashboards for Logistics & warehousing — specified, stocked and supported by UK engineers.

Industrial IoT for Logistics replaces manual rounds, spreadsheets and blind spots with live LoRaWAN telemetry: low-power sensors, resilient gateways and dashboards that flag a problem the hour it happens, not the week after. Indiott specifies, stocks and supports the full stack and ships across the UK from local warehouses.

UK logistics moves the economy, contributing around £163bn in GDP and employing roughly 2.7 million people across about 230,000 businesses, with warehousing space at record levels. Ecommerce, third-party logistics growth and cold-chain expansion mean more temperature-controlled, high-throughput sheds to monitor and protect. LoRaWAN covers the long racking aisles, loading bays and remote yards where wired sensors and Wi-Fi struggle.

Industrial IoT for Logistics: sensors, gateways and dashboards

Built for Warehouse and distribution managers, Cold chain and quality leads, Facilities and maintenance engineers and Health and safety managers. Every asset that fails quietly — a pump, a chiller, a cold store, a plant room — is a candidate for a battery LoRaWAN sensor reporting to one dashboard. Typical Industrial IoT for Logistics deployments include:

  • Cold chain and ambient temperature monitoring across racking zones
  • Loading-bay door and dock-occupancy sensing for throughput
  • Energy and lighting monitoring across large warehouse footprints
  • Asset, cage and roll-cage tracking with LoRaWAN across the site
  • Roof-leak and drain sensors protecting stored goods
  • MHE battery-charging room gas and temperature monitoring

Compliance and drivers in Logistics & warehousing

Warehouse safety is governed mainly by the Health and Safety Executive, with workplace transport guidance covering forklifts, loading and pedestrian segregation, PUWER 1998 for handling equipment and the Manual Handling Operations Regulations. Cold-chain and food distributors run HACCP-based temperature control under food hygiene law, while distribution fleets are bound by drivers' hours and vehicle safety rules.

Indiott builds the monitoring and evidence layer around those duties: continuous data, threshold alarms that reach the duty engineer by SMS, and timestamped records you can hand to an auditor.

Why Logistics & warehousing teams choose Indiott

Here is why logistics & warehousing operators pick Indiott as their Industrial IoT for Logistics partner rather than a generic reseller.

UK stock, UK delivery

Milesight, Atop and AquaIoT hardware supplied from the UK, typically dispatched within 14 working days nationwide.

Engineer-led, not box-shifting

An engineer scopes every enquiry and returns a costed bill of materials within one working day.

One stack, many brands

Interoperable sense, connect, secure, control and manage layers, so you are never locked to a single vendor.

Bespoke when off-the-shelf ends

When the device you need does not exist, we design and build it — firmware, enclosure and integration.

Industrial IoT for Logistics: frequently asked questions

Will LoRaWAN cover long aisles and remote yards?

Yes. One gateway covers a large shed and its yard, so temperature, door and asset sensors work down full racking runs and out to loading bays where Wi-Fi drops out.

Can it monitor cold chain zones and ambient stock together?

One network handles chilled and frozen zones alongside ambient areas, with per-zone thresholds and alerts, so a single dashboard covers the whole warehouse.

Does it help with safety and asset protection?

Environmental sensing supports safe MHE battery-charging areas and roof-leak detection, complementing the workplace transport and PUWER controls a site already runs.
