Who benefits from remote reefer monitoring?

Terminal Operators – Remote reefer monitoring boosts operational efficiency. By gaining centralized control of the entire reefer yard, terminal operators can better address the most pressing terminal needs while reducing insurance loss claims and increasing overall operational efficiency.

Terminal Personnel – Port operations are complex, fast-moving environments where heavy containers and large equipment are in constant motion. Therefore, maintaining the highest level of safety is essential. Humans interacting in this shared space must be constantly alert to inherent hazards. Remote reefer monitoring reduces unnecessary personnel moving around container racks or stacks into equipment travel lanes, increasing human labor force safety.

Shippers – Adding value through remote reefer monitoring is a win-win solution. When terminals implement remote reefer monitoring into their operation, shippers know that their cargo will be appropriately cared for and the collected data accurately saved. In addition, terminals benefit from showcasing this value proposition to gain more business and reefer throughput.

Our Global Community – According to a United Nations and the Food Agricultural Organization (FAO) 2011 study, two and a half billion tons, nearly 1/3rd of all food produced globally, is wasted annually. And of that, 350 million tons are lost before ever reaching retail markets.* This, of course, can be attributed to many causes. But there is hope for food sustainability. For example, an effective reefer monitoring system deployed to terminals worldwide will reduce the number of events that waste our precious food commodities.

In the end, nearly everyone involved in transporting refrigerated containers stands something to gain from an automated reefer monitoring system.
