APL Satellite Tracking Service Gets Smarter!
Taking live monitoring of reefer cargoes beyond temperature and humidity tracking, APL is introducing real-time oxygen and carbon dioxide monitoring capabilities to its industry-pioneering satellite tracking system, SMARTemp.
Designed to offer more well-rounded visibility for precise cargo management and protection throughout a voyage, these added features further distinct APL’s groundbreaking SMARTemp® technology which was launched in 2010.
Ng Kar Loke, APL Head of Special Cargo said, “As a leading and trusted reefer expert whom shippers have counted on in bringing their exports across the globe, APL deploys only the best reefer solutions that protect cargo integrity during every APL voyage. APL will continually innovate through our range of SMART reefer technologies to deliver customer value."
Ng Kar added: "The enhancements of APL SMARTemp demonstrate our belief in going the extra mile of empowering our customers with real-time cargo data that they can rely on for optimal supply chain management.”
Live monitoring of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels comes in most useful for cargoes filled with delicate items or produce that are moved using APL’s SMARTCare+ technology.
A popular application for several premium perishable food shipments, this atmospheric control solution manipulates oxygen and carbon dioxide levels within the reefer containers to preserve the qualities and prolong the post-harvest life of these high-value cargoes.
added SMARTemp features thus offer more visibility to shippers, especially those with cargoes that must endure longer voyages and arrive in pristine conditions to be marketed in the respective overseas markets.
Besides complementing APL’s SMARTCare+ solution, the enhanced SMARTemp also works hand-in-hand with APL’s cold treatment technology, SMARTcool, as well as SMARTair, a dehumidification solution that keeps reefer containers’ humidity in an optimum range.
