Medical supplies tracking has become a critical priority in the ongoing fight against the coronavirus pandemic. From protective suits and goggles to masks and medications, ensuring that donated and distributed supplies reach the right destination, on time and without tampering, is essential for effective epidemic control. Jimi IoT’s smart supervision solution integrates IoT technology to achieve precise, real-time tracking and transparent allocation of medical materials.

In the wake of global disruptions caused by COVID-19, challenges like supply loss, inventory mismanagement, and inefficient allocation have intensified. To address these pain points, Jimi IoT has developed an IoT-based medical supplies tracking system that combines hardware, cloud platform, and mobile app to deliver full-process visibility—from donation and transportation to delivery and verification.

1. Key Challenges in Medical Supplies Distribution

• Loss During Transit
  Supplies may be lost, stolen, switched, or improperly requisitioned during transportation.
• Unclear Whereabouts
  Inadequate tracking leads to non-transparent allocation, and some responsible parties may even misuse resources illegally.
• Inefficient Allocation
  Short-staffed or inexperienced departments can cause chaos and delays in allocation, lowering overall efficiency.
• Unclear Inventory and Distribution
  A lack of real-time inventory and distribution data can lead to oversupply or shortages, hindering effective epidemic control.

2. Architecture: Hardware + Cloud Platform + Mobile App

Jimi IoT offers an end-to-end smart supervision system integrating:

• BDS & GPS positioning
• Cellular communication
• Geo-fencing
• Sensor technology

This comprehensive structure enables visualized, real-time monitoring and control throughout the entire supply chain.

3. Core Features of the Solution

a. Real-Time Tracking

• Donor View: The mobile app allows donors to track the real-time location of their donated supplies.
• Supervisor/Manager View: The cloud platform enables detailed supervision of supply status and distribution for optimized coordination.

b. Geo-Fence Alerts

• Users can set geo-fences around key logistics hubs.
• Get notified when supplies enter or exit specific zones.
• Support for multiple shapes: circles, polygons, or regional boundaries (province, city, county).

c. Historical Trip Playback

• Playback travel routes within the last 180 days via platform or app to support retrospective tracking.

d. Unpacking Alerts

• The system triggers an alert and location report when supplies are unpacked, ensuring delivery to the correct unit.

4. Hardware Advantages

• Temperature Detection
  Ensures goods like vaccines or perishable items remain within safe temperature ranges.
• BDS + GPS Dual Positioning
  Enhances tracking accuracy in all environments.
• Tamper Alarm
  Notifies stakeholders if the device is physically interfered with.
• Compact & Lightweight
  Easy to attach to a wide range of supplies.
• Long Standby Time (Up to 15 Days)
  Ensures uninterrupted performance during long transits.
• Battery Level Display
  Allows proactive management of device power status.

Conclusion

With Jimi IoT’s smart tracking solution, the supervision of medical supplies becomes transparent, secure, and highly efficient. This system not only mitigates risks of loss or misuse but also builds public trust through real-time data and accountability.
