36 ZIM Magazine From the ZIMonitor promotional video ZIM Customers Gain Visibility into Containers Refrigerated by Carrier Providing more visibility into their refrigerated cargoes, ZIM Integrated Shipping Services, Ltd. of Haifa, Israel, achieved a new milestone with its innovative ZIMonitor service by adding 800 refrigerated containers equipped with this capability. The ZIMonitor service allows ZIM customers to track, monitor and remotely control conditions inside refrigerated containers carrying perishable foods and other sensitive, high-value cargo such as pharmaceuticals. The system also assures compliance with Good Distribution Practices for monitoring and record keeping. Customers can closely monitor cargo status, receive text messages or email alerts and intervene to adjust temperature settings through ZIM’s 24/7 dedicated global response team. In addition, the system produces predefined reports for analysis. This remote monitoring capability is provided on ZIM’s newest 40-foot high-cube containers refrigerated with Carrier Transicold PrimeLINE® units. Carrier Transicold worked closely with ZIM and its telematics hardware provider on system qualification and integration, assuring the refrigeration unit data and communications protocols would work seamlessly. The ZIMonitor systems were field installed within the refrigeration units by Carrier Transicold Authorized Service Providers on multiple continents where ZIM does business. According to ZIM, the ZIMonitor technology, combined with professionals on shore and aboard vessels ready to respond to refrigeration equipment alerts, delivers a complete and unique package providing customers with peace of mind throughout the container’s journey. We conclude this feature with a piece about ZIMonitor in Carrier Magazine, published by the world leader in container refrigeration. This article is just a small part of the global recognition that ZIM's groundbreaking, innovative services have received. “ZIM is a leader and an innovator when it comes to providing refrigeration unit monitoring and control services,” said Kay Henze, international key account manager, Carrier Transicold. “We are pleased to have had this opportunity to facilitate the installations that bring this valuable option to ZIM’s customers.”
