Zim Selects ORBCOMM’s Industry-Leading Platform to Manage Their Fleet of Refrigerated Containers
November 08 2022 - 2:00AM
ORBCOMM Inc., a global provider of Internet of Things (IoT)
solutions, today announced that ZIM Integrated Shipping Services
Ltd. (NYSE: ZIM), a leading global container liner shipping company
based in Haifa, Israel, has selected ORBCOMM’s industry-leading
fleet management platform, ReeferConnect, for remote monitoring of
their refrigerated containers. ORBCOMM will be showcasing its
comprehensive ReeferConnect platform supporting all marine assets –
from refrigerated and dry containers to chassis to vessels – in
Booth D32 at Intermodal Europe in Amsterdam from November 8-10,
2022.
Through ORBCOMM’s software service agreement,
ZIM can leverage the unique interoperability of ReeferConnect to
access data from multiple types of OEM and third-party telematics
devices through a comprehensive, integrated platform. ORBCOMM’s
powerful ReeferConnect enables ZIM to gain full two-way command and
control of their refrigerated containers, providing real-time
location, reefer health status, climate control, geofence
management, motion detection, and more through a single view for
better decision making, business planning and service levels. Alarm
generation and automated notifications facilitate rapid response
and repair, significantly helping to reduce cargo spoilage and
costly insurance claims. In addition, the pre-trip inspection (PTI)
analysis and control feature helps expedite deliveries at ports and
increase asset turns, while reducing carbon output and meeting
compliance commitments for decarbonization.
ReeferConnect seamlessly integrates with ZIM’s
backend system, ZIMonitor, enabling deeper data insights and
maximum visibility to their refrigerated containers and
temperature-sensitive cargo. With access to meaningful data from
every type of telematics device deployed across their fleet, ZIM
can reduce operating and maintenance costs, improve cargo care,
optimize fleet efficiency and mitigate business risks associated
with managing their refrigerated containers across global maritime,
port and intermodal transport networks.
“ORBCOMM’s exciting service agreement with ZIM
sets a new industry standard for shipping container management that
helps drive more profitable operations on the road, rail and sea,”
said Al Tama, ORBCOMM’s Vice President of Container and Port
Solutions. “Our interoperable ReeferConnect platform provides ZIM
with two-way command and control over their multi-asset fleet,
enabling full visibility and traceability at every point in their
global supply chain.”
“ORBCOMM’s ReeferConnect platform is dynamic and
flexible, facilitating the exchange of actionable data from the
wide array of telematics devices deployed across our container
fleet and allowing us to view it all through a single pane of glass
seamlessly,” said Gil Lehmann, Head of Global Logistics Equipment
for ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. “We’re pleased to work
with ORBCOMM on this industry-leading effort to digitalize our
end-to-end supply chain, drive better business decisions and meet
our efficiency and sustainability goals through their advanced
platform.”
