ORBCOMM has announced the latest generation of its reefer container monitoring solution featuring the CT 3600 device.
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.
Last month, the Port of Aberdeen invested £1 million ($1.27 million) in new technology to improve safety, connectivity, and sustainability in partnership with North.
