Reliable data enables managers to track assets
through the supply chain, increasing efficiency and delivering a
faster ROI
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of
high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and
advanced algorithms, announced that Green Scale Alchemy (GSA), a
leading developer of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for asset
management in the retail and supply chain industries, has
integrated Semtech’s IoT devices operating on the LoRaWAN® protocol
into its IoT-based pool management platform. The platform enables
accurate pallet management to increase logistical efficiency and
has already been rolled out by Giffard, a large-scale French
liqueur manufacturer, to remotely manage its packaging assets and
tools across two of the company’s large warehouses.

“By integrating IoT devices operating the LoRaWAN protocol, GSA
is among the first in Europe to offer private networking
capabilities and flexible devices to meet the needs of today’s
supply chain managers,” said Frédéric Sammut, CEO at GSA.
“Leveraging the LoRaWAN protocol provides accurate inventory data
over long range, enabling managers to increase the efficiency of
their logistical processes to reduce associated costs and increase
sustainability.”
"GSA’s innovative solutions based on the LoRaWAN protocol
enabled Giffard to transform its existing packaging and pallets
into connected assets through innovative and simple retrofit. This
allowed improved fleet management and the allocation of resources
with integrated tools for more efficient production,” said Pierre
Jouanneau Giffard, COO at Giffard. “Increased management efficiency
allowed Giffard to optimize its workforce and material resources to
improve profits.”
A standard in the logistics industry, wooden pallets deliver an
estimated 95 percent of Europe’s consumer goods. GSA identified the
shortcomings of legacy pallet-based shipping and developed its
solution to leverage LoRaWAN networks to optimize the remote
management of pallets in real time. GSA’s platform based on the
LoRaWAN protocol delivers comprehensive insight into the location
and environmental status of the individual pallet, including
geolocation capabilities to identify pallet location in a warehouse
or in transit. This reliable data enables managers to track assets
through the supply chain from manufacturing to distribution and out
for delivery. Additionally, amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,
smarter logistics management and geolocation in warehouses allows
organizations to move assets only when necessary and keep employees
safe through social distancing.
In June 2017, Giffard deployed GSA’s solution to its newest
liqueur production plant, a state-of-the-art site that manufactures
up to 20,000 bottles per day. The plant consists of two 3,000
square meter buildings dedicated to liqueur production and
warehousing respectively. By utilizing the IoT platform, Giffard
receives and audits its production data to identify inefficiencies
in its warehousing workflow and as a result remotely manages all
its packaging assets and tools within its sites.
“Integrating proven IoT geolocation solutions operating on
LoRaWAN enables customers to reduce logistical inefficiencies and
reduce cost,” said Marc Pegulu, Vice President of IoT Product
Marketing in Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Products Group. “By
developing its solution to utilize the LoRaWAN protocol, GSA
created a flexible, scalable IoT platform that monitors and reports
pallet status, condition and location in real time. These enhanced
metrics help keep inventory safe and accounted for throughout the
management cycle and deliver customers a faster ROI.”
