The development of IoT devices that are individually adapted to a logistics company’s processes and circumstances and that can capture, store, process and transmit data is complex and expensive. Qualitative benefits and indirect savings are difficult to determine and demonstrate without a proof-of-concept in real operations. In the »Modular Open Source IoT-Devices« development project, a modular system is being developed that makes it simple to configure IoT devices.
