Sea Star Line launches Guardian Service

By on Aug 16, 2010

Using advanced GPS and wireless technologies, Sea Star Line's Guardian Service offers 24/7 reefer monitoring, tracking, tracing and control

Sea Star Line has entered into a strategic alliance with Mark-It Services in order to equip its reefers with both GPS and RFID systems

The new technology gives Sea Star wireless monitoring capacities on 100% of its refrigerated container fleet, marine terminals, and vessels

The advanced wireless devices mounted on every reefer continually reports the status of all temperatures and other onboard conditions back to a web-based software platform, which gives Sea Star total and continual visibility and control from origin to destination

Data includes real-time GPS location, reefer running/stopped events, set/supply/return temperatures and USDA probe temperatures

Any reefer alarms that occur are pushed immediately to operator screens and sent via email and SMS to enable corrective actions to be taken

The Guardian Service also offers the ability to remotely send commands to the reefer to change set points, start/stop pre-trips and order downloads
