Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a remarkable technological advancement that facilitates the seamless integration of computing devices for the purpose of transmitting data across a network, eliminating the need for direct human-to-human or human-t- -computer engagements. This chapter intends to look at how IoT impacts the distribution of firms’ products. The implementation of IoT-based advanced distribution, materials handling equipment, and sensors in warehouses has the potential to significantly transform operations, resulting in increased efficiency, costeffectiveness, and productivity. The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) into warehouse operations encompasses the real-time monitoring of equipment, goods, pallets, and personnel, as well as the measurement of their performance.
