A response to the needs of the international freight market
Today’s road, rail, air and sea transport operators are faced with an increase in trade and must guarantee the safety of their goods and reduce the impact of their transport on the environment.
This strategic partnership brings together a wide range of expertise and has led to the creation of Track Value.
This innovative solution, developed by Europorte and Kerlink, improves the management of these flows by digitising multimodal transport activities. This digitisation improves the quality and reliability of services, thanks to data feedback and processing in near-real time and from anywhere in the world.
Yannick Delibie, Kerlink’s Technical Director: “Kerlink’s teams have contributed their expertise in tailor-made IoT connectivity solutions to develop the Track Value solution and offer a genuine innovation to meet the challenge of more sustainable freight.”
The data collected by the Track Value solution guarantees:
– Goods security in near real time (traceability, optimisation, etc.),
– Detecting and sending alerts (flow disruptions, equipment and infrastructure failures, etc.),
– Anticipation of maintenance operations.
