Intelligent Container Tracking

Core question in Container Management

Main goals for using a Container Management System

Reduce loss Lower procurement costs

Increase planning reliability Reduce capital lockup

Improve disposition Avoid production stand stills

Why is it so difficult to create transparency in container circulation?

Company-wide circulations complicate traceability

Loan durations of containers remain at customer sites vary ( who organizes return of empties?)

Manual capture and analysis of all container movements requires high effort

Consideration of reparation, cleaning, inspection (partly done at external service providers)

In some cases different owners of containers
