pharmaceuticals and perishable foods. By providing detailed,
real-time data, IoT ensures that goods are handled properly
throughout their journey, reducing the risk of damage and
loss.

Automation is transforming warehouses and distribution
centres. Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and robotic
sorting systems accelerate the handling and processing of
goods, minimizing human error and increasing throughput.
Drones are also starting to play a role in last-mile delivery,
particularly in remote or difficult-to-access areas. These
