Industry context

IoT and connected operations in logistics and supply chain

We connect sensors and equipment to platforms that turn their data into alerts and work orders for the people who maintain the assets.

In an IoT programme, device onboarding, network security and data volumes need planning from day one. We design the device, edge and cloud layers together and connect the results to maintenance and operations systems.

Logistics operators work to tight delivery windows and customs requirements, with many partners running different systems. Planners, warehouse leads and partner managers need changes that do not interrupt live shipments, so we plan cutovers away from volume peaks. Device connectivity falls under TDRA's IoT regulatory policy in the UAE and CST rules in Saudi Arabia, and connected operational equipment under OT security requirements such as NCA OTCC.

After stabilisation we hand over to your teams or keep running the service with you.

Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.

What the work covers

We design, deliver and stay until operation is stable, with evidence your procurement and risk teams can rely on.

  • Device onboarding

    Device identity, provisioning and firmware updates managed centrally, with a register of what is deployed.

  • Edge and network security

    Segmented networks and edge gateways that keep operational equipment separate from office IT.

  • Turning data into action

    Telemetry stored and analysed, with alerts and work orders passed to the teams who maintain the assets.

  • Customs and port platforms

    We plan integration with the customs and port systems your shipments pass through, such as Dubai Customs' Mirsal and the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security in the UAE, or ZATCA's FASAH platform and Mawani in Saudi Arabia.

  • Connectivity choice

    Cellular, private network or fixed connectivity chosen for each site, with SIM and device management planned.

  • Analytics and models

    Alert thresholds first, then models for patterns such as wear or unusual energy use, tested against history.

Signs you are ready to start

An IoT programme is ready to start when operations has picked the assets and knows which decision the data should support.

  • The partners and carriers to connect first have been agreed.
  • Operations has chosen the assets to start with and agreed what data it needs from them.
  • The network and OT owners at each pilot site have agreed how devices will connect.
