AT&T Inc. 9
Better Security Every year, companies use hundreds of millions of shipping containers
to move products around the world by boat, truck and rail. Whatever the contents —
from pharmaceuticals to electronics to food products — those companies and their
logistics providers need to know where their containers are at any given time.
But often they need to know much more than that. Was the container opened? What’s
the temperature or humidity inside? What levels of force are the contents exposed to?
“That’s where Kirsen Global Security adds significant value for our customers — leading
transportation providers like DB Schenker, for which we developed the DB Schenkersmartbox
solution — and for their customers, manufacturers around the globe,” says the company’s
co-founder, Christian Bogatu, Ph.D. “Over the past decade, we’ve collaborated with AT&T to
develop and refine this small but powerful device that can monitor all of that information
and more and transmit it virtually anywhere in the world, at any time of day.”
The data these devices provide can make a big difference. Monitoring these containers
can allow an electronics manufacturer, for example, to significantly decrease its safety
stock, while also lowering its insurance premiums.
Kirsen collaborated with AT&T on the Container Monitoring System, which relies on AT&T’s
GSM-based wireless networking and international data capabilities. Because AT&T’s wireless
network operates on the global standard, containers can be monitored wirelessly, virtually
anywhere. And, of course, the AT&T global network is there when needed — providing the
reliable, highly secure data communications Kirsen’s customers demand.
“AT&T has supported Kirsen ever since we
created our first container monitoring
devices nearly a decade ago.”
