December 17, 2019: Maersk has released its revamped remote container management (RCM) platform featuring the virtual assistant ‘Captain Peter’.
Since its launch in September 2017, over 3,600 companies have signed up for RCM and the transparency on information from the over 380,000 refrigerated containers of the combined fleet of Maersk and Hamburg Sud it provides.
“Over the last two years, our RCM product has proven good value to our reefer customers, but we have also identified key areas of improving such a cargo visibility tool,” explained Ken West, reefer digital development manager at Maersk.
“With Captain Peter, we are significantly elevating the customer experience of working with the data and building the foundation for delivering even more advanced features around it.”
Captain Peter keeps an eye on the container’s temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels, and notifies the customer if something needs attention.
The data is now cloud-based for increased agility and can be easily shared as well as configured to the customer’s specific needs.
As many people along with their goods are moving all over the world, our planes, cars, ships, and trains are increasing and leaving a bad effect on the earth.
Transportation sector itself now generates about one-fourth of the world’s greenhouse gas and in the year 2016, U.S transportation produced a lot of carbon dioxide.
The shift from the transportation that burns fossil to the ones that are of electricity like F1 Hoverboard will see a major impact on climate change.Saving cash and fighting with the change in climateElectricity vehicles such as F1 Hoverboard are considered as the vehicles that run with the help of battery, which can be charged easily at a charging center or home.
While these vehicles only have motion, they are clean as well as it has no other pollutant or carbon dioxide.
The electricity that gives power does have global warming, but how clean they are entirely depends upon the generated electric power.As per the report, electric vehicles running on electricity with the help of renewable power such as solar and wind generate zero global warmings.
But, EVs on electricity generated by the coal produces fewer emissions of global warming than a car with fossil fuels, which makes an average of 28 mpg.Although the costs of electric vehicles like F1 Hoverboard can be higher as compared to the fossil fuel cars; the report has suggested that electric transportation can be cost-effective to maintain as the regular maintenance and changes of oil are not needed in it.Additionally, electric vehicles can save about $700 to $1,300 annually on fuel if distinguished to a vehicle of fossil fuel with an average of 28 mpg with gas at the cost of $3.00.
