Real-time tracking for sustainable freshness
Working with its partners Sensitech, and Lobster Cloud, global air freight company Lufthansa Cargo has achieved a milestone in the monitoring and optimisation of the shipment of fresh produce.
Special sensors and GPS technology can be used to track & trace the location and verify the exact ambient temperature of a consignment in combined air and land transport. This increases the safety of the goods, reduces the risk of losses, and makes fresh produce logistics more sustainable.
"Sustainability can only succeed if we work together. […] This is a showcase example of how important it is to put our heads together to achieve climate and environmental goals. This is the only way sustainability has a real chance," says Oliver Blum, head of airmail, courier & perishable handling at Lufthansa Cargo. (cj)
