Operational enhancement: The sensor technology in
mobile devices is already suitable to execute a broad range
of logistics operations, from barcode scanning, freight
image documentation, proof of delivery (POD) capture,
and wireless RFID-identification, to smartphone and cloud
app-supported tracking, and synchronization of delivery
routing and customer availability. In particular, 3D sensors
enabling 3D freight volume scanning (e.g., Kinect) will
become key assets for dynamic load capacity optimization,
generating unique shipment fingerprints, and controlling
robotic unloading systems.
