Rochelle Park, New Jersey, US: ZIM Integrated Shipping Services has selected Orbcomm’s ReeferConnect to monitor its refrigerated containers.
ZIM can use ReeferConnect to access data through Orbcomm’s software service agreement, from multiple types of OEM and third-party telematics devices.
ReeferConnect enables ZIM to have two way control of reefer boxes and get real-time location, reefer health status, climate control, geofence management, motion detection, and more through a single view for better decision making, business planning and service levels, Orbcomm says.
“Alarm generation and automated notifications facilitate rapid response and repair, significantly helping to reduce cargo spoilage and costly insurance claims.
“In addition, the pre-trip inspection analysis and control feature helps expedite deliveries at ports and increase asset turns, while reducing carbon output and meeting compliance commitments for decarbonization,” Orbcomm says.
ReeferConnect seamlessly integrates with ZIM’s backend system, ZIMonitor, enabling data insights and maximum visibility to the refrigerated containers and temperature-sensitive cargo. “With access to meaningful data from every type of telematics device deployed across their fleet, ZIM can reduce operating and maintenance costs, improve cargo care, optimize fleet efficiency and mitigate business risks associated with managing their refrigerated containers across global maritime, port and intermodal transport networks,” Orbcomm says.
Orbcomm will show the system at Intermodal Europe in Amsterdam this week.
