OPTIMAL MONITORING
To enable customers to be sure that the refrigeration chain has not been broken at any point, Hamburg Süd equips reefer containers with RCM – Remote Contain- er Management technology. In real time and along the complete transport chain, RCM monitors such param- eters as temperature, relative humidity, oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration within the reefer con- tainer. Such data enable the supply chain to be better controlled, shaped distinctly more transparently, efficiently and safely. It thus releases immense potential for saving costs. Data on all essen-
tial steps in container transport – e.g., de- livery at the terminal or loading and dis- charge of the vessel, can be
retrieved by the customer.
This can also be passed on to the recipient, for example. Should a pre-set parameter
or threshold be reached, noti-
fication also follows automatically. In addition, if criti- cal thresholds should be exceeded or undercut, the operations team receives an alarm signal. This ena- bles them to intervene appropriately and ensure car- go quality.
To make supervision of reefer cargo even simpler, Hamburg Süd has developed the virtual assistant ‘Captain Peter TM’. This new product offers compre- hensive services relating to reefer shipments. One ex- ample of these consists of round-the-clock support from reefer cargo experts. Should Captain Peter warn
customers with a personalized notification of prob- lems during shipment of a container, the Ham- burg Süd team is available at all times.
