Business requirements

The logistics industry requires stream processing capabilities that can handle real-time data from various sources such as GPS trackers, IoT sensors, weather systems, and traffic monitors. The system must provide instant visibility into shipment status, enable dynamic route optimization, facilitate predictive maintenance, and integrate seamlessly with existing warehouse management systems (WMS) and transportation management systems (TMS).

Technical challenges

Implementing real-time data processing in logistics faces several technical hurdles. These include integrating heterogeneous data sources with different formats and protocols, processing high-volume, high-velocity data from moving vehicles and distributed warehouses, ensuring data accuracy and consistency across global supply chains, and scaling the system to handle peak shipping periods. Additionally, the solution must be resilient to network disruptions, especially in remote areas, and provide robust data security to protect sensitive shipment information.
