The Consumer Packaged Goods Perspective
Consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies have long experimented with RFID technology in retail locations and factories to automate and monitor the flow of goods.
As a next step, connected sensors and other IoT technologies can usher in bigger changes in supply chain management and marketing.
IoT Foothold in the CPG Industry
CPG companies plan to use the IoT to:
