Challenges with Shipping Container Visibility
The usual practice of tracking shipping containers involves built-in or user-installed GPS, a method that introduces various challenges.
CHALLENGE #1
This data provides just the container's location and is not actionable enough to optimize its use at scale.
CHALLENGE #2
It isn't easy to aggregate container data from multiple vendors onto a single platform and ensure accuracy.
CHALLENGE #3
It is not easy to monitor the condition of the goods inside the container.
How Roambee's Solution Works for Shipping Containers
Visibility
Better visibility by combining order information with real-time location and condition data from IoT sensors affixed on shipping containers capable of recharging using renewable solar power and data streams from marine traffic, vessels, and port operations.
Alerts & Signals
Built on verifiable visibility, alerts & signals empower better decisions and drive automation. For example, a business signal about container availability is derived by sensing use cycle milestones and full/empty status to maximize usage and rentals.
Intelligence
Use AI-powered network insights & foresights for better supply chain planning & execution. For example, score unproductive container dwell times by geography, season, customer, and carrier and forecast this key performance indicator (KPI).
