ORBCOMM Inc., a global provider of supply chain Internet of Things (IoT) technology, announced that its new dry container telematics solution is commercially available through its global distribution network.
Therefore, ORBCOMM will be showcasing its maritime IoT offering at stand D32 during this year’s Intermodal Europe conference from 10-12 October at the RAI Amsterdam in Netherlands.
In particular, the company’s dry container solution is expected to help shipping lines and their customers gain visibility and traceability so they can turn real-time data into decisions about their maritime operations.
The solution provides end-to-end monitoring for dry marine containers moving through complex supply chains.
Moreover, the solution reports data into ORBCOMM’s Maritime platform, which provides a single, integrated view of all assets—dry, reefer, genset and chassis—in one platform.
It is also possible to seamlessly report data through APIs into customers’ proprietary platforms for optimal efficiency.
ORBCOMM’s solar-powered dry container tracking device is designed for large-scale deployments. It can be installed in as little as one minute with minimum asset downtime and no need for manual intervention after installation.
According to the company, the device is certified to the ATEX Zone 2 explosion-proof standard. Additional wireless BLE sensors will also be supported to integrate other safety and productivity applications that will enhance the solution’s capabilities.
Gregg Plonisch, ORBCOMM’s senior vice president of product management, commented, “With ORBCOMM’s enhanced Maritime platform, customers can view all of their assets in a single platform, enabling better decision making, business planning and service levels, while contributing to end-to-end digitalisation of complex supply chains.”
