ESP Logistics Technology (“ESP”), a company dedicated to solving global supply chain problems by using analytics to detect, analyze, and suggest actions to resolve issues in real-time announced that it has acquired Container 42 (“C42”) from the Port of Rotterdam Authority (“PoR”) extending its industry-leading technology platform into the smart container world.
The Port of Rotterdam Authority created C42 with a consortium of industry-leading technology and supply chain companies, including Cisco, Esri, Intel, IBM, and Axians, to revolutionize the smart container industry by including real-time sensed data on container movement, temperature, and other metrics to increase safety, sustainability, and efficiency in shipping and ports.
The combination of ESP and the Container 42 program brings together the power of smart container technology with ESP’s geospatial analytics platform capabilities that include visualization and powerful AI and machine learning capabilities, enabling solutions and actions that solve supply chain issues. “Our goal is to focus on the commercialization of smart container technology across the approximately 65 million shipping containers worldwide,” said Dan Pimentel, President of ESP.
Erwin Rademaker, Program Manager of PoR said, “We are happy to hand over the reins to ESP because we believe their platform really complements and enhances our original mission for a smoother supply chain.”
Over the last few months ESP has extended membership in Container 42 to RSAE and Rebirth Analytics and is open to new members.
