Qualcomm Aware addresses ecosystem fragmentation

Qualcomm Aware is a platform-based solution that helps organisations harness real-time data to provide interoperability with private clouds , industry-specific platforms and existing enterprise software tools for enterprise resource planning , supply chain management , inventory management , and more .
Its early integration was with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management , which allows customers to use chips to keep tabs on goods as they move through the supply chain . Qualcomm says the platform is designed to address “ ecosystem fragmentation and system design complexity ”, because this is a problem that “ prevents IoT deployments from meeting their fullest potential ”.
The company added : “ By providing global connectivity , and by optimising location technologies with sensor alerts and control features , the solution will help enterprises drive operational efficiencies .”
Among the critical use-cases Qualcomm Aware can serve are cold chain distribution , utility asset monitoring , cargo shipment tracking , and warehouse and inventory management .
