Smart Container Monitoring
Shipping containers go through numerous checkpoints before they get to their destination. Still, you want to make sure your goods get through their long journey and to your customers’ doors safe and sound. That’s why cargo container tracking is necessary.A smart container is essentially a regular container equipped with GPS tracking devices (also referred to as container security devices or cargo trackers). These are removable IoT-powered devices with built-in sensors that are attached to the container or placed in between the goods to be shipped. Such container trackers work reliably offline without an internet connection.
The most important information for a logistics manager relates to a container’s status and location. All the telematics data intelligence listed below can be obtained with the help of a smart container tracking system :
Geolocation
Geofencing and predicted ETA
Door status (open/close)
Temperature
