Satellite monitoring of cargo containers

Specialists of «R & D Group LTD», together with international colleagues, have begun to develop and produce the line of devices that provides satellite tracking of cargo containers. Every day, goods are packed into containers in all corners of the world to go from the manufacturer to its customers. And that - more than 12 million containers. Each of these containers do about 20 long trips a year, and, therefore, more than 240 million land and sea journeys between the world's major cargo terminals. Transportation of containers by road is not as beneficial because each container requires the presence of one or two drivers (freight forwarders). Therefore, after the introduction of the idea of ​​setting the container on a railway platform, great progress has been rail freight, allowing to transport hundreds of containers in a single composition, driven by only one or two machinists. Accordingly, the most voluminous and profitable containerships, today, are marine vessels. Some of them, for example - «Emma Maersk» or «CMA CGM Christophe Colomb» can carry more than thirteen thousand containers at the same time. The container has a modern form, thanks to the usual American manager, which has standardized its bulky size. The main sizes of containers used today: 20 and 40 feet. These parameters have become the standard format for container traffic worldwide, except only for carriage by air. Using sturdy, metal containers in the modern world has many advantages, both for shipping companies, as well as for their customers: they significantly reduce the time and cost of handling. The container is loaded goods at the factory and there is no need to discharge the container until the goods arrive at the destination. With powerful container cranes and loaders in modern ports and freight terminals, ship, which used to load and unload a few days can be processed within a few hours. The most important quality of the containers: they protect the cargo from theft and damage during transit. But, nevertheless, transportation of large containers with valuable cargo around the world brings its own problems of safety. In particular, the fully loaded product container FCL (full container load) the total value of the goods can reach from 30 000 to 150 000 USD. We live in a complex, polysyllabic world. Criminals can commit theft of container in several stages, which are not easy to control: during the loading of goods in the container, during loading and transport container, while the containers for temporary storage (temporary storage) and, unfortunately, even during a customs inspection. As well, there are all sorts of risks of partial and total loss of the goods in transit between warehouses, even over short distances. Criminals break and rebuild whole fragments of walls, fake seal integrity. The companies suffer losses of many thousands, agreements and crumbling relationship between the sender and the recipient of the cargo are broken. This situation is, of course, implies a desire by the recipient and sender to monitor the load during the travel, which can reach up to 4 weeks or more. Systems of satellite GPS / GLONASS tracking, depending on the type of device, can help solve the following problems to control the safety of your cargo: 1) Identification of the location of any container, wherever he is, around the clock, 2) Fixing the invasion and changing environment within the container (door opening, temperature change, the change of volume of space, etc.). These devices are fundamentally different from the standard GPS / GLONASS devices for tracking the usual transport. The main are some mandatory parameters: - Sealed enclosure (for use in harsh environments on land and sea) - Specialized support (the target door in the wall with a magnet, etc.), allowing to quickly install and remove the device if necessary - Having specialized embedded sensors (movement, temperature, humidity, or other opening) - Powerful battery (to maintain the device in operation mode for a long time) - The use of universal processing programs and sending the information about the parameters( load and location) using different satellite constellations (GLONASS / GPS / GALILEO) and cellular networks (technology LBS). - The use of intelligent roaming (automatic selection of the operator), to reduce the cost of data transfer. We expect great interest in this type of devices from logistics companies as well as from companies, engaged in cargo and container shipments and storage terminals. The engineers of "R&D Group" are ready to consider all your OEM-requirements for the implementation of satellite monitoring of your goods. We will help you to choose the optimal equipment for your particular situation. Ready devices will be available to customers in early 2012. Please send your requirements at: rdgroup@yandex.ru.
