Nexxiot launches upclose cargo tracker
Nexxiot’s upgraded sensor can monitor and give real-time visibility of cargo within containers.
Digitisation company Nexxiot has launched the latest in its line of monitoring sensor devices, ’Cargo Monitor’, which differs from its existing products by tracking cargo on a much closer scale.
Whereas existing products such as ’Globehopper Edge’ are focused on monitoring the position, meovement, handling activities and use of each container while it is shipped, the Cargo Monitor includes a more powerful transceiver, which is placed inside the container itself.
It is then able to monitor the transport of higher value and more conditions-sensitive products such as perishables, pharmaceuticals, electronics and so on, and provide real-time data on conditions such as cargo damaging shocks, humidity, temperature and security issues.
“Cargo Monitor will stay with that particular pallet or object for the entire journey,” head of Cargo and managing director Matilda Bouchet told Maritime Journal.
”The device specifically monitors cargo parameters and adds another critical layer for clients as part of the Nezziot hardware portfolio.”
“Resource insecurity, geopolitics, blockages, and interruptions all serve to highlight humanity’s dependance on transported cargo to maintain a high quality of life. Manufacturers, retailers, and consumers increasingly expect to receive information on cargo location and quality. The new Nexxiot Cargo Monitor represents a quantum leap forward in supply chain visibility and intelligence.”
Data transmission is guaranteed for 90 days, Nexxiot says, notifying cargo stakeholders of the exact status of their cargo anywhere in the world.
