Reefer efficiency solution

The new alliance will develop reefer container monitoring technology using Identec’s low-power, long-range active reefer-mountable RFID tags and WAM’s refrigerated container interface technology.

“Our focus at Identec Solutions ports and terminals is to help clients improve operational efficiency, safety and security through adoption of advanced process automation and asset management technologies,” said Michael Dempsey, GM ports and terminals, Identec Solutions.

Real-time operational visibility and control and alarm reporting will enable operators to remotely set and change temperature controls before and during trips, improving energy management and electricity usage.

Mark Heck, CEO, Mark-it Services, added: “Mark-It Services and Identec Solutions are a perfect fit to develop an all-inclusive reefer monitoring solution that ports and terminal operators have been waiting for quite a while.”

For the past five years, the two companies have been delivering reefer monitoring solutions for major container terminals and port authorites worldwide.

The companies say the new agreement will expand the capabilities of the system and allow them to customise the software and functionality to meet the requirements of their port and terminal customers.
