Nowadays, the global economy depends with 90% of its
international cargo movements heavily on
containerized goods transport. The United States
alone receives 10 million loaded containers per
year, or about 25,000 a day. 68% of these arrive
from the 20 largest ports worldwide and only 5% are
physically inspected. Looking at today’s security
challenges such as theft, smuggling and potential
terrorism attacks, it is alarming that only such a
small amount of containers are inspected. However
security inspection is not the only issue that needs
to be changed, but also the poor information about a
container’s location, long delivery times, variable
inventory levels and possible container breaches,
all requiring a state-of-the-art solution.
Keeping all this in mind, it goes
without saying that a reliable and competent partner
is needed. Siemens has decades of experience in
security solutions and has now entered the field of
container security solutions and systems. Siemens is
meeting today’s challenges and offers a specifically
designed solution for tracking and tracing of
containers which even helps to improve the supply
chain security and efficiency significantly.
