The future of logistics? Logtech

AELER, a company focused on sustainable solutions in the supply chain industry, prioritises ecological impact in its decision-making processes. One of its main innovations, the Unit One container, aligns with the European Green Deal goals and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions reduction. It achieves this through modal shift facilitation, drag reduction, increased payload capacity, reduction of single-use materials, waste reduction, and end-of-life considerations. The Unit One container provides accurate traceability, which is crucial for verifying sustainability claims, reducing overproduction, and addressing issues like food waste. The structural innovation of the container reduces reliance on flexibags, minimises waste, and decreases emissions throughout its lifecycle.

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.

A leading luxury brand partnered with AELER to use advanced Unit One shipping containers, achieving improved cargo protection, reduced CO2 emissions, and enhanced shipment monitoring for more sustainable and secure transport of high-value goods.
