Data-driven boxes: closing information gaps in container shipping
In recent years, digitalization has profoundly impacted the global shipping industry. To overcome route disruptions, port congestions, labour shortages, extreme weather and increasing demand for sustainability, stakeholders are turning to IoT technologies.
While refrigerated container IoT is now common, the largest obstacle to wide-scale deployment on dry containers has been availability and affordability. Today, the price point, value proposition and use case have finally intersected.
In this webcast, VIACHAIN’s Christian Allred and Thomas Eskesen, an industry expert with 30 years of maritime container experience, evaluated IoT use cases in container shipping and discussed how the technology can improve traceability, supply chain efficiency and compliance, reduce costs and enhance security and safety, all while helping achieve new revenue streams and corporate sustainability goals.
