The latest generation of ORBCOMM’s reefer container
monitoring solution aims to simplify the installation, deployment and
management of reefer IoT applications. The
solution includes the new CT 3600 reefer monitoring device, designed for faster
installation compared to ORBCOMM’s earlier model, ensuring swift deployment
without compromising performance or coverage, according to the company.
The CT 3600 has a durable internal rechargeable
battery and supports wireless Bluetooth sensors. It is compatible with refrigerated
containers from all four major OEMs and adheres to DCSA interoperability
standards.
“Maritime
IoT deployments can be a challenging experience for shipping lines,” said
Christian Allred, ORBCOMM SVP and GM of Maritime Logistics.
“There are complex technology stacks and the sheer
device count of mass deployments to worry about, not to mention third-party
installation costs. The CT 3600—the most
recent addition to our new reefer monitoring solution—makes building and
managing an intelligent connected container fleet easier than ever.”
“When people
think of refrigerated container transportation, they think of ORBCOMM. With
this new reefer container monitoring solution, we’re continuing our legacy of
innovation that started over thirty years ago, delivering world-class reefer
technology that helps provide the data businesses need to make smart fleet
decisions,” Allred added.
