COSCO SHIPPING IoT

In response to the evolving landscape of technological and industrial advancements, COSCO SHIPPING has undertaken efforts to propel the establishment of a top-notch shipping technology enterprise, placing a strong emphasis on the seamless integration of cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT). This strategic initiative is aimed at bolstering the high-quality development of industrial and supply chains.

The company’s IoT technology has made significant strides, particularly in the realm of reefer containers, which demand stringent adherence to temperature and time requirements. Notably, the implementation of the Smart Solution IBOX REEFER has endowed traditional reefer containers with smart capabilities, enabling remote real-time temperature control, location tracking, door monitoring, and bidirectional communication. These enhancements serve to fortify the safety and management of reefer cargo.

Furthermore, COSCO SHIPPING has extended its offerings to include gas-conditioned boxes and cold-treatment services with standardized procedures tailored to prolong the shelf-life of highly sensitive fresh produce, such as specific fruits, vegetables, flowers, and mushrooms.

With over 100,000 reefer containers equipped with the third generation of IoT technology, the company has also addressed the transportation of special or hazardous goods through the deployment of IBOX DRY. This innovation ensures the maintenance of a controlled temperature range inside dry containers and facilitates remote monitoring of cargo conditions, thereby bolstering safety measures at sea.

Recognizing the criticality of uninterrupted communication during ocean voyages, COSCO SHIPPING has developed the intelligent monitoring solution IBOX-VESSEL to enable real-time data transmission from containers to the deck office and IBOX cloud platform. The implementation of air-sky integrated networks, geofencing, and IoT technology further streamlines container logistics management, lending robust support to shipping route optimization.

A noteworthy testament to COSCO SHIPPING’s contributions to enhancing the freshness of South American fruits and vegetables is exemplified by its vessel “COSCO SHIPPING Brazil.”

The company’s MY REEFER platform, now in its 3.0 version and accessible through the official website, offers customers an encompassing view of the supply chain, empowering them with vital insights into the cold chain and the ability to track large-scale projects such as multi-vessel voyages. Through the integration of bespoke AI algorithms, MY REEFER facilitates precise tracking within the supply chain, proactively identifies potential risks, and elevates operational efficiency. Moreover, it enables direct connectivity with Shanghai Customs, paving the way for paperless customs declaration and inspection of cold processing data, thereby significantly expediting customs clearance for importers of fresh fruits.

Lastly, MY REEFER has laid the groundwork for an equipment life cycle model using advanced algorithms, ensuring optimal working conditions for containers and contributing to a reduction in carbon emissions equivalent to the absorption capacity of 454 hectares of forests annually.
