IoT (Internet of Things) bezeichnet die Vernetzung physischer Objekte, etwa Sensoren, Maschinen oder Ladungsträger, mit digitalen IT-Systemen, um Zustands- und Bewegungsdaten in Echtzeit zu erfassen und auszuwerten.
Key facts
- IoT verbindet physische Objekte wie Sensoren, Fahrzeuge oder Regale mit IT-Systemen und macht deren Zustand in Echtzeit sichtbar.
- In der Lagerlogistik ermöglicht IoT die lückenlose Verfolgung von Ladungsträgern, Betriebsmitteln und Umgebungsbedingungen ohne manuellen Erfassungsaufwand.
- Die Wahl des Übertragungsstandards, etwa WLAN, BLE, LPWAN oder 5G, beeinflusst Reichweite, Energiebedarf und Investitionskosten erheblich.
- IoT-Daten entfalten ihren vollen Nutzen erst, wenn sie in übergeordnete Systeme wie WMS, ERP oder BI-Plattformen integriert werden.
- Datenschutz, Netzwerksicherheit und die Zuständigkeit für Gerätewartung sind zentrale Entscheidungsfelder, die vor der Einführung geklärt werden müssen.

Related terms
- AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to systems that learn from data, recognize patterns, and on this basis support or automate decisions.
- API
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a defined interface through which two software systems can exchange data in an automated and standardized way. In intralogistics, it connects systems such as WMS, ERP, or TMS with one another and with external services.
- Automatisierung
Automation refers to the use of technologies and systems to execute processes fully or partially without human intervention. In intralogistics, the spectrum ranges from simple conveyor systems to fully automated high-bay warehouses with autonomous vehicles.
- BI
Business Intelligence (BI) refers to the systematic collection, preparation, and analysis of company data to support informed decision-making in logistics and supply chain management.
- Barcode
A barcode is a machine-readable optical code that represents information as a pattern of bars and spaces or as a two-dimensional matrix. It enables the automatic identification of items, load carriers, and documents along the entire supply chain.
- Blockchain
Blockchain is a cryptographically linked, distributed data structure in which transactions are stored in a tamper-resistant manner and are traceable by all participants.
- Cloud Computing für Logistik
Cloud computing for logistics refers to the operation of logistics software and data platforms via external cloud services instead of on-premises data centers. Typical applications include warehouse management systems, transportation management systems, track-and-trace, as well as BI and integration platforms.
- Datenanalyse
Data analysis refers to the systematic evaluation of raw data from logistics and IT systems in order to measure performance indicators, identify the causes of deviations, and make well-informed decisions.
- Digital Warehouse
Digital Warehouse refers to a warehouse in which processes, systems and decisions are consistently data-driven and system-guided. Typical building blocks include a warehouse management system, real-time visibility, IoT sensors, mobile data capture and automated optimization logic.
- Disposition
Disposition refers to the operational planning and control of resources, quantities, and orders in logistics – for example in transport or materials disposition. It encompasses capacity assignment, scheduling, prioritization, and response to disruptions.
