Problem
Traditional shipping containers lack integrated monitoring and often require single-use insulation, leading to inefficiencies, potential cargo damage, and increased environmental impact. The inability to track cargo conditions in real-time and the limitations in payload capacity further compound these challenges.
Solution
AELER provides high-performance shipping containers constructed from advanced composite materials, incorporating integrated IoT sensors for real-time tracking and condition monitoring. These containers increase payload capacity for bulk liquids while offering superior insulation, reducing the need for single-use materials. The integrated sensors and tracking platform provide full multimodal visibility over cargo location and condition, enabling proactive logistics management and minimizing potential losses. By optimizing cargo capacity and reducing reliance on disposable insulation, AELER's containers contribute to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.
Target Audience
AELER's primary customers are businesses involved in the transport of bulk liquids, sensitive cargo (e.g. pharmaceuticals), and high-value goods, seeking to optimize their shipping processes, reduce costs, and improve sustainability.
