Big data and reefer monitoring

New system uses Emerson’s RMM+ remote reefer monitoring system to provide communication to a power-line system or by GPRS/UMTS.

Maersk’s decision to roll out GSM modems on its reefer containers means these containers can not, at the moment, be connected to the REFCON reefer monitoring system.

Interest in reefer monitoring continues to grow, but what does Maersk’s decision to install a GSMbased system mean for terminals?

Reefer containers will be under the spotlight at the inaugural Intermodal Asia 2014 exhibition and conference from 1-3 April at the Shanghai World Expo Center.

The Intermodal Europe conference in Hamburg saw Russian TOS specialist Solvo sign an agreement with Emerson Climate Technologies to fully integrate Emerson’s reefer monitoring system Refcon 6 with Solvo’s TOS.

St Louis-based Emerson Electric Co has announced that it has acquired the marine container business of Johnson Controls, Inc. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
