The Industry

The physical movement of goods and cargo from one point to another is the primary definition of the term Logistics. Commercial trade is the backbone of economies. Goods made at one point (either because it is commercially viable or intrinsically available or cultivated) being transported to another point where they are to be used or consumed, has spawned off an entire system that supports this activity. Transportation, Material movement, Loading – Unloading, Warehousing and Storage etc are specialized sub sets of this Industry.

The Issue

Prima facie physical goods have intrinsic value. Transporting them from one point to another in the exact same condition, in quantity and/or quality, make them more valuable. This in itself is a specialized job for all companies engaged in the logistics business. Security is a huge issue for these companies who are responsible for these goods when in transit or in temporary possession, out of bounds of both the purchaser and the seller who are at different locations. Goods-In-transit and Goods-in-storage need to be protected. They have to be protected against

• Quantity Loss : Theft or Pilferage for packaged solid items
• Quality Loss : Adulteration in transit typically experienced in products like Chemicals, Fuel oils, food and food products

In today’s world, the logistics industry is not only the target of such organized theft, but also faces a bigger risk of enemies of humanity using this mode as a conduit for bigger damage.
