IoT and Beyond: The Technology Behind Smart Containers Explained In an era defined by connectivity and innovation, the logistics industry is undergoing a revolution. At the heart of this transformation are smart containers, a technological marvel that combines the power of IoT (Internet of Things) with traditional shipping containers. This fusion has given birth to a new era of supply chain management, where cargo isn't just transported, but actively communicates its status and conditions. In this article, we'll delve into the technology behind smart containers and explore the profound impact it's having on global trade and commerce. According to Stratview Research, The Global Smart Container Market was valued at US$ 3.65 Billion in 2021 and is expected to reach US$ 11.14 Billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 17.07% during the forecast period of 2022 to 2028. Smart container is a device which aids in tracing and tracking products among stakeholders with the electronic product code information services, supply chain, and RFID technologies and provides monitoring, real-time tracking facilitating drivers to increase rotation time of their package equipment and improve utilization percentages. Smart containers are the containers that facilitate transportation of goods via both seaborne and land modes of transport, which may include the use of trucks, rails, and ships, eliminating the necessity for reloading and unloading at standard features. They are used in a wide array of industries and have always been the crux of the shipping industry.

The revolution began when innovators saw the potential to turn these static containers into dynamic, data-driven assets. Sensors: The Nervous System of Smart Containers At the core of every smart container are an array of sensors. These small, intelligent devices act as the container's sensory organs, constantly gathering data on various environmental parameters. These can include temperature, humidity, pressure, GPS coordinates, shock and vibration, and even whether the container has been opened. Communication Technologies: Enabling Connectivity In order to make sense of the data collected by sensors, smart containers are equipped with cutting-edge communication technologies. These can range from cellular networks to satellite links, ensuring that no matter where a container is, it can transmit its status and condition in real-time. Telematics: Bridging the Physical and Digital Worlds Telematics is the technology that merges telecommunications with informatics. In the context of smart containers, it's the bridge that allows physical information (like sensor data) to be transmitted over networks and integrated into digital systems. This integration is what empowers logistics managers and operators with the information they need to make informed decisions. The Data Deluge: Making Sense of the Information Avalanche With sensors continuously generating data, the challenge becomes how to manage and interpret this deluge of information. This is where advanced analytics and data processing come into play. Data Management Platforms Sophisticated data management platforms serve as the central nervous system of smart container operations. They receive, store, and process the data generated by the sensors in real-time. These platforms are designed to handle immense volumes of data, ensuring that nothing is lost or overlooked. Predictive Analytics: Anticipating Needs One of the most powerful applications of smart container technology lies in predictive analytics. By analyzing historical data and current conditions, logistics managers can predict potential issues and take preemptive action. For instance, if a temperature-sensitive cargo is veering towards a critical threshold, adjustments can be made to prevent spoilage. Real-world Applications: How Smart Containers are Changing the Game Enhancing Cold Chain Logistics One of the most significant impacts of smart containers has been in the cold chain industry. Temperature-sensitive goods, such as pharmaceuticals and perishable foods, require precise environmental conditions during transport. Smart containers ensure that these conditions are maintained, providing an unbroken chain of custody from producer to consumer. Optimizing Route Planning With real-time tracking and condition monitoring, smart containers enable logistics managers to make dynamic adjustments to routes. For instance, if a storm or traffic congestion is detected along a planned route, the cargo can be re-routed to ensure it reaches its destination on time and in optimal condition. The Future: Smart Containers 2.0 As technology continues to advance, the capabilities of smart containers are poised to reach even greater heights. Anticipate the integration of AI for more sophisticated predictive analytics, blockchain for secure and immutable data records, and further automation in cargo handling processes. Conclusion: A Smarter, Connected Future Smart containers represent the epitome of how technology is reshaping traditional industries. By imbuing shipping containers with the power of IoT and advanced analytics, we've entered an era where cargo communicates, logistics are optimized, and global trade is more efficient than ever before. As the march of progress continues, we can only imagine the further innovations that will arise from this intersection of technology and logistics. The future is bright, connected, and undeniably smart.

India and European Union (EU) have agreed to step up their Clean Energy and Climate Partnership. They jointly agreed on a detailed work program until 2023 to implement the 2016 India-EU Clean Energy and Climate Partnership. The Panel agreed on increased technical cooperation in energy efficiency, renewable energy, green hydrogen, grid integration, storage, power market design, interconnection, cold chain, and sustainable financing. The Panel also agreed to explore further avenues to strengthen India-EU cooperation within the context of the International Solar Alliance. EU expressed its support for the close cooperation between India and the International Energy Agency. India and EU also agreed to exchange closely on clean energy in the frame of G20.

World Ozone Day: Kenyans urged to forsake harmful plastics Kenyans have been advised against the continued use of coolants and other household items that contain harmful Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Forestry Hon Keriako Tobiko has said. Speaking in Isiolo County while leading the nation to mark the International Ozone Day, Hon Tobiko said the need for cooling is growing rapidly in the country and that cold chains for fresh produce as well as safe transport and storage of vaccines are of necessity. However, the CS noted that phasing down HFCs and at the same time improving energy efficiency in the cooling sector, the country would be contributing to combating climate change. Tobiko assured that as a government, they will continue to raise the awareness needed among the general public of the potential wider impact the work of protecting the ozone layer has on safeguarding people and the planet. The theme of the International Ozone Day 2021 is Montreal Protocol – keeping us, our food and vaccines cool. Mithika Mwenda, the Executive Director, Pan African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA) said the International Ozone Day is a stark reminder of how man’s activities continue to endanger the very environment that was meant to sustain our lives and our livelihoods. Science, he said has pointed out that a number of commonly used chemicals at home and in our various office premises are extremely damaging to the ozone layer, which acts as our shield against the harmful rays from the sun. “Ozone layer depletion can exposed mankind to the ravages of climate change; and at our slack pace of acting against some of these dangerous chemicals, am afraid, it may be too late for us to reverse the rate at which climate change is to take place,” he said. PACJA has been advancing the approach of locally led actions, which ensures that climate actions are just and respond to the needs of African communities. Recently, PACJA signed an MoU with an American-based firm to advance issues around the Circular Economy to galvanize communities towards waste circularity. “We want waste products repurposed as a raw material for new products and I believe that our able Cabinet Secretary will lead our government to see into it on how the issue of circular economy could be strengthened so that we do not compromise the need to safeguard our environment with our responsibility of ensuring jobs to our youths,” he said.
