ORBCOMM announced that ZIM selected its fleet management platform, ReeferConnect, for remote monitoring of their refrigerated containers.
Through ORBCOMM’s software service agreement, ZIM can leverage the interoperability of ReeferConnect to access data from multiple types of OEM and third-party telematics devices.
ORBCOMM’s ReeferConnect enables ZIM to gain full two-way command and control of their refrigerated containers, providing real-time location, reefer health status, climate control, geofence management, motion detection, and more through a single view for better decision making, business planning and service levels.
Alarm generation and automated notifications facilitate rapid response and repair, significantly helping to reduce cargo spoilage and costly insurance claims.
In addition, the pre-trip inspection (PTI) analysis and control feature helps expedite deliveries at ports and increase asset turns, while reducing carbon output and meeting compliance commitments for decarbonization.
ReeferConnect integrates with ZIM’s backend system, ZIMonitor, enabling data insights and visibility to their refrigerated containers and temperature-sensitive cargo.
With access to data from every type of telematics device deployed across their fleet, ZIM can reduce operating and maintenance costs, improve cargo care, optimize fleet efficiency and mitigate business risks associated with managing their refrigerated containers across global maritime, port and intermodal transport networks.
