ORBCOMM launches latest generation dry container monitoring solution

ORBCOMM has introduced the latest generation of its dry container Internet of Things (IoT) solution, which is designed to increase container security, protect cargo integrity and improve asset visibility. 

Shipping lines can use the new technology to investigate the possibility of fire, detect unauthorised container access, receive alerts to possible container damage and provide higher levels of asset visibility to customers. 

The solution, which is powered by ORBCOMM’s new CT 1010 monitoring device, adds sensor-based monitoring inside the container, with the time of flight and light sensors determining door openings and closings.
