The Use of Technology at All Stages, Including Through AI, to Optimize Processes and Results
The term Logistics 4.0 has been used for a few years and is related to a system that utilizes automation and the use of technology throughout all stages that integrate logistics. It is a way to make this operation “smart,” through a cohesive, efficient, automated, and highly visible productive system.
And one of the companies responsible for providing services that align with the application of this concept of Logistics 4.0 is Geoforce Brasil, a company considered a global leader in providing strong asset tracking and monitoring solutions based on satellite and cellular technology across different markets.
Among the clients in Brazil are oil & gas exploration companies, global equipment rental companies, suppliers of chemical products, manufacturers of heavy machinery used throughout Brazil, among others. In the international market, notable clients include aviation companies, construction firms, mining, transportation, logistics, as well as agricultural companies.

A new class of invisible objects that look like asteroids but accelerate like comets has already reached 14 in the Solar System and may be releasing water without a tail while orbiting near Earth, raising the hypothesis that these “dark comets” brought the oceans to the planet and will now be investigated by the Hayabusa2 mission in 2031.
Within this scenario, software and technologies capable of supporting each stage of the supply chain are applied. The result is the automation of processes and resource savings, including financial ones. In this process, cutting-edge technologies are used, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, and Computing, among others, aiming to create intelligent networks integrated into the supply chain.
One of the practical applications, when speaking of AI, is related to cargo theft. In these cases, a tracking device can assist in this circumstance. “Companies can, based on our devices, our technology, through AI, achieve results in potential cargo thefts. By acquiring our tracking services, companies can implement AI to reduce cargo theft,” explains André Chaboudet, General Manager of Geoforce in Brazil.
Another example in Logistics 4.0 is the optimization of operations and logistics processes, where the client gains visibility during transport, controlling safety items for their asset, reducing bureaucracy, improving and modernizing management, ensuring a faster, connected, smart, and efficient logistics capable of providing cost reduction and greater focus on the client’s business strategy.
According to recent research by NTC&Logística (National Association of Cargo Transport and Logistics), cargo theft resulted in a loss of R$ 1.2 billion in 2022. According to the survey, the region of the country most affected was the Southeast, with 85.18% of the records, followed by the South, Northeast, Central-West, and North regions. The most targeted products by criminals are foodstuffs, fuels, pharmaceuticals, auto parts, textiles, and clothing.
