MSC to install TRAXENS tracking devices on containers to boost visibility

  Oct.19--MEDITERRANEAN Shipping Company (MSC) plans to equip 50,000 dry cargo containers in the coming months with "smart" technology created by TRAXENS to track the boxes in real-time in response to growing demand from shippers.

  According to MSC Group president Diego Aponte the "smart containers are a perfect example of where we can cooperate according to industry standards to make our services truly comprehensive and TRAXENS is the top innovator in this area."

  Other major users of TRAXENS equipment include CMA CGM and SNCF, France's state-owned railway. The company expects to have 100,000 "smart" containers deployed by the end of 2019, reported America Shipping.

  MSC said use of the TRAXENS equipment will enhance supply chain management for shippers by providing better visibility cargo from door to door, adding efficiency, safety and predictability.

  TRAXENS said it "provides shippers with an internet-connected device to permanently fix on dry cargo containers. This transforms the container into a smart, connected object which collects and communicates real-time data on its position and movements throughout its journey."

  Other factors which help to keep cargo secure include temperature, humidity level, shocks and vibrations, door opening and closing.
