Port of Antwerp and partners launch cargo temperature monitor service

The Port of Antwerp has announced a new temperature condition monitoring service for logistics assets and cargo, which will provide exception alerting solutions for containers for both shippers and third-party logistics (3PLs).

The Belgian port has launched this offering in collaboration with Foodcareplus, an integrated international logistics provider for the food industry, Dockflow, which builds the world's first integrated logistics enablement platform, and TrakAssure, a cargo monitoring solutions provider based on the ever-growing global LoRaWAN Internet of Things (IoT) network.

"This solution will allow us to monitor and manage higher volumes by exception, allowing us to devote fewer man-hours to this particular task, thereby servicing our customer base with better quality," noted Steve Alaerts, director at Foodcareplus.

The solution will deploy existing LoRaWAN infrastructure at the port of Antwerp, where TrakAssure monitors will be installed at the load location and data will stream into Dockflow's servers via Application Programming Interface (API), according to a statement, allowing it to be shared with relevant stakeholders in the cold chain.

"We now can manage by exception based on real-time data and share it through our enablement platform, so we can dispatch resources as required to pay particular attention to containers that display temperature variations", stated Michiel Valee, co-founder at Dockflow.
