The reinvention of the Shipping Container

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.

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.

AELER has partnered strategically with a select group of local agencies that share a commitment to innovation and sustainable logistics practices. These partnerships will provide robust and scalable infrastructure to allow regional shippers to access and benefit from AELER’s supply chain solutions, while leveraging local logistics experience and expertise.
