Company’s IoT solutions for maritime and rail freight implemented by
major global companies
MARSEILLE, France–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Traxens, a company providing high-value data and services for the supply
chain industry, announces today that it will be introducing its
comprehensive solutions portfolio aimed at the maritime and rail freight
industries at Transport Logistic (June 4-7, Munich).
Traxens’ solutions provide comprehensive, precise and timely data about
cargo by tracking wagons and smart containers in transit anywhere in the
world through dedicated sensors, an Internet-of-Things network and a
customized portal. Traxens’ technology brings improved efficiency and
security, greater transparency and enhanced asset utilization thanks to
improved wagon, container and goods tracking, geolocalisation and
ambient temperature monitoring.
The rail freight industry could enjoy the benefits of a number of rail
projects Traxens has accomplished with partners. In co-operation with
SNCF Logistics, Traxens has trialled a Digital Freight Train, where a
number of smart wagons equipped with Traxens-boxes were successfully
tracked on their way to European destinations as well as China. Accurate
real-time data from the whole train led to improved efficiency as well
as cost reductions.
In addition to this, Traxens also offers
digital brake testing, which can bring up to thirty minutes time-saving
on standard re-allocation processes, real-time alerts on the brake
system and significantly reduced operational costs.
“Traxens’ offering for rail freight was instrumental in bringing
transparency to our operations for the digital future. A great example
is the digital brake test, which brings us significant time savings at
reallocation processes, improved cost and operational efficiency thanks
to real-time monitoring of brake systems en route, as well as enhanced
work conditions,” said Marc Valette, innovation director, CFL multimodal.
Bertrand MINARY, Chief Innovation officer at Fret SNCF said: “ It is an
absolute necessity to transport more goods via rail freight to preserve
our planet. Improved efficiency and new services will convince customers
to move more cargo on rail instead of road freight by 2030, as suggested
by the European Rail Freight Forward initiative. In order to improve
reliability, we worked together with Traxens on the Digital Freight
Train. For SNCF Logistics, Traxens’ unique, easy-to-implement,
innovative, affordable and energy-efficient solution is simply the best
to achieve that.“
For the maritime sector, Traxens provides door-to-door data monitoring
solutions for smart containers (both dry and reefers) and has already
signed agreement with dozens of Beneficial Cargo Owners, such as Tesco
Global.
“The Traxens unit has provided us with unprecedented insights into our
container movements, supplier performance and landside operation. It has
the potential to shape the way we can use reliable data driven insights
to manage our end-to-end operation, take strategic action and ultimately
reduce costs, waste and lead-times,” said Peter Downs, Senior Logistics
Performance Manager, Global Logistics at Tesco Global.
Traxens will be present at Booth A3.628 at Transport Logistic in Munich
(4-7 June).
