APL introduces cargo monitoring system
Cargo monitoring is becoming increasingly important. Given this, APL recently unveiled Traxens to offer near real-time data of the movement and condition of the cargo it transports. The initiative is consistent with the CMA CGM Group’s customer centric strategy, which was the first company to invest in Traxens.
Founded in 2012, this French start-up has been developing solutions for the cargo logistics arena and created a container monitoring and coordination system.
Characterised by its permanently affixed device on a container, APL saves shippers the hassle of reverse logistics for the pick-up and coordinating with multiple players along the container's route.
The solution collects and transmits data generated by other condition-monitoring devices in the container which provides shippers with end-to-end visibility. (kd)
