Real Time Intelligent Cargo Monitoring

Based on Iridium communication satellite network and SatNav data, the RTICM project aims at designing, developing and demonstrating a cost-effective integrated and centralised platform to better monitor and control the multimodal (i.e. by air, road, rail and sea) transport supply chain of high value containers, globally. It also aims at providing customers and relevant stakeholders of the supply chains with better awareness tools in order to take near-real-time and long-term corrective actions to reduce losses and improve the efficiency of cargo’s transportation process, before they become costly problems. The target market of RTICM are high value cargo shipments with a value of more than 65.000 Euro in Consumer Electronics, Consumer Products, Pharmaceuticals and Chemical industries.
