SenseAware empowers FedEx ’ s customers to quickly intervene when integrity is at risk
FedEx Express UK . “ We have long known that information about the package was as important as the package itself . This combination of the physical and digital is at the heart of the Internet of Things ( IoT ). When we combined that concept with the internet and put tracking information online , we changed the logistics capabilities of the world and our most important innovation in this area is SenseAware , a device that provides near-real time data on packages for factors like location , relative humidity , temperature and light exposure .”
