Let’s talk cargo shipping!

A leading pharmaceutical company teamed up with AELER to use innovative Unit One smart containers, improving shipping efficiency and product integrity while reducing CO2 emissions and transportation costs.

This article fully explores smart containers and their benefits, offering insights into how they are transforming - and will continue to transform - the logistics landscape.

Geofencing employs geo-coordinates to create virtual perimeters around a specific location, enabling the real-time monitoring of IoT-enabled containers as they enter or leave designated zones. This technology revolutionises logistics management by offering unprecedented visibility and control over container movements. It enhances operational efficiency and security across the global supply chain by allowing companies to monitor and stipulate where, for example, a truck carrying high-value pharmaceuticals or luxury goods can stop. Safe zones can be designated for rests, food, or bathroom breaks to ensure the security of the cargo.

In the dynamic and ever-evolving world of global trade and transportation, the humble shipping container, a cornerstone of international logistics, has remained unchanged for decades. This was the case until AELER embarked on its transformative journey, aiming to revolutionise this crucial yet overlooked aspect of global trade, introducing innovation and sustainability to an industry ripe for change.

Avec son offre de container as a service, AELER cherche à offrir une excellence logistique qui rebat les cartes du transport maritime avec des solutions économiques, écologiques et data driven.

The container industry is evolving, and we believe in the power of collective transformation. To maximise the container’s potential, we need to create added value through visibility, efficiency, and sustainability. This includes integrating advanced technologies, fostering collaboration within the industry, and transforming the container into a generator of added value.
