Netmore Group and Zenze have collaborated to enhance container and asset tracking across global ports and terminals. This partnership aims to offer an affordable and sustainable solution for monitoring cargo, addressing the growing demands of international trade. By integrating advanced IoT technology, the two companies seek to improve logistics efficiency and supply chain transparency.
Previous IoT implementations in logistics often faced high costs and were limited to specific regions. The partnership between Netmore and Zenze addresses these challenges by deploying LoRaWAN networks on a global scale, making the technology more accessible and cost-effective for a diverse range of ports and terminals. This initiative signifies a substantial advancement in the widespread adoption of real-time cargo monitoring systems.
How Will the Partnership Enhance Cargo Monitoring?
The collaboration focuses on deploying customized LoRaWAN networks capable of real-time tracking of refrigerated and dry cargo, among other vessel types. This setup ensures continuous monitoring of cargo conditions and locations, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of asset tracking across various logistical facilities.
“As global shipping volumes continue to rise and real-time data becomes more important for driving business efficiencies, the need for smarter, more connected port infrastructure is critical,” Stephan Piworus, CEO of Zenze, stated. “Netmore is the global leader in delivering carrier-grade network services for critical business applications and this partnership represents a major step forward in transforming port operations worldwide.”
What Technologies Are Being Utilized?
Leveraging Netmore’s managed IoT network infrastructure, the partnership employs both custom-built and localized LoRaWAN networks alongside data services. These technologies support a variety of devices and sensors designed for real-time location tracking, condition monitoring, surveillance, and security, all optimized to operate seamlessly within the Cargo Visibility Network (CVN).
What Are the Expected Benefits for Global Ports?
The deployment is anticipated to provide ports with enhanced operational efficiencies, increased transparency, and more agile logistics processes.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Zenze at the forefront of this transformation, ensuring that ports around the world can maximize their capabilities and meet the growing demands of global trade,”
Furthermore,
“By tapping into the Zenze Cargo Visibility Network, ports will gain access to a wealth of data, analytics and be able to leverage the network for many terminal use cases, enabling smarter decision-making, increased transparency, and a more agile logistics process.”
The deployment of low-cost and environmentally friendly devices is expected to significantly reduce overall logistics costs while promoting sustainable practices.
The collaboration between Netmore and Zenze signifies a pivotal advancement in IoT integration within the global logistics sector. By prioritizing affordability and sustainability, the partnership not only addresses current logistical challenges but also sets the stage for future innovations in cargo tracking. Ports and terminals adopting these solutions can expect improved operational efficiency, cost reductions, and enhanced supply chain visibility, ultimately benefiting the broader international trade landscape.
