This analysis demonstrates the impact of IoT and ERP integration on supply chain efficiency in automotive steel distribution, suggesting significant operational improvements.
The automotive steel distribution industry faces increasing pressure to achieve higher efficiency, accuracy, and responsiveness. Traditional logistics models are limited by information silos, delayed coordination, and high operational costs. Leveraging digital tools such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) offers new opportunities for building precision logistics systems. This paper investigates how IoT enables real-time monitoring, data acquisition, and traceability in steel transportation, while ERP provides centralized management for inventory, orders, and scheduling. By constructing an IoT–ERP integration model, the study demonstrates how the synergy of both technologies can optimize the automotive steel distribution process. A case study highlights the practical application, showing improvements in delivery accuracy, inventory turnover, and operational efficiency. The findings indicate that IoT and ERP integration not only enhances supply chain transparency but also provides valuable insights for digital transformation in the automotive logistics sector.
