Design and Implementing of IoT Based Container Operating Management System

This era would be addressed as the Internet of things (IoT) era where millions of devices, sensors, vehicles and humans are connected and reacted together. Using IoT in supply chain management and logistics could be considered as one of the promising IoT applications as it can optimize both cost and operating time. This work proposed a frame work for tracking containers using physical devices as GPS tracker, GSM modem and Internet as connection media to optimize its journey cost and time. The original studied shows that manual system of tracking containers caused many problems such as absence of integrity and efficiency. In case of using the manual data filing system many problems arise such as unfinished ordering request, false requests, vague locations, difficulty in choosing efficient distribution process and assigning tasks to drivers. Also, the wasted time due to checking availability of containers, lost driver looking for the delivery location, delayed updates about container status (available, must empty), unknown container location. This paper proposes a solution that based on IoT to connect and control remotely all the objects involves in container tracking such as GPS tracker, GSM modem with an aid of mobile base application to issues orders in an optimized manner, saving both time and cost. The current work uses a clustering technique to improve distributing and managing construction dumping containers. Automating the process of distributing and monitoring the containers using IoT based solution have many pros such as saving companies' monetary resources, saving employees time, serving customers better.
