In the dynamic and ever-evolving world of global trade and transportation, the humble shipping container, a cornerstone of international logistics, has remained unchanged for decades. This was the case until AELER embarked on its transformative journey, aiming to revolutionise this crucial yet overlooked aspect of global trade, introducing innovation and sustainability to an industry ripe for change.
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.
