2018 Q4 - Integrated Reefer NewsMaersk Container Industry launches reefer digitalisation The upcoming launch of Maersk Container Industry’s (MCI) Sekstant® Global Guidance system for reefer digitalisation is the company’s most significant technological breakthrough since the introduction of its Star Cool reefer. Drawing on many years of involvement in reefer connectivity, Sekstant® provides container operators with accurate data at any point along the transportation chain. “Whether on high seas on board a container vessel or inland carried on a truck, the data can be visualised on the shipper’s desktop and seamlessly integrated into their IT systems. This is a great leap forward in transparency and optimising utilisation,” explains Anders Holm, Global Head of Sales and Marketing at MCI. Robust and secure The key to the concept’s effectiveness is that it stays online, using a centralised cloud architecture. The system is enabled by a state-of-the-art Smart Edge device that includes wideband 4G LTE modem connectivity with global coverage. Everything is incorporated into a single device and sharing one power supply with the reefer controller. Using the robust Linux OS platform, the device features Near Field Communication (NFC) and Bluetooth for mobile communication. “All data transmissions are secured and encrypted. At the same time, the machine data MCI receives can now be processed and transmitted to Star Cool reefer users to give them previously unseen levels of transparency and guidance,” adds Anders Holm.Page 1Page 3
