Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

To reduce spoilage in the cold chain, the shipper retrofitted 380,000 refrigerated containers ('reefers') with IoT sensors. The 'Remote Container Management' system streams temperature, humidity, and power data to the cloud via satellite/GSM, allowing customers to monitor their cargo in real-time.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"The industry standard for 'Smart Logistics'. It transforms a shipping container from a dumb box into a connected device. The ROI is driven by insurance claim reduction (proving who broke the cold chain) and premium pricing for visibility services."

warning The Challenge

Shipping fresh produce is risky; if a reefer fails in the middle of the ocean, the cargo spoils. Traditionally, crews had to manually check temps daily, which was error-prone and labor-intensive. Customers had zero visibility until the ship docked.

psychology The Solution

Connected devices on every reefer transmit data to Azure IoT Hub. Stream Analytics processes the signals. If a temperature deviation is detected, an alert is sent to the ship's bridge for immediate repair. Data is stored in Azure SQL for post-voyage analysis.
