ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Chooses Hoopo to Revolutionize its Dry-Container Fleet With Solar-Powered Tracking.
Hoopo, a global leader in asset intelligence and tracking solutions, announced that its hoopoSense Solar, the flagship tracker with 12+ years of battery life, is poised to provide end-to-end visibility for ZIM’s dry-container fleet.
The hoopoSense Solar trackers offer the longest battery life in the market, and present groundbreaking features that provide unrivaled visibility and traceability.
Hoopo’s all-in-one device streamlines deployment and increases carriers accurate tracking visibility.
ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE: ZIM) announced today that it is accelerating the global deployment of smart containers, advancing visibility and transparency through the integration of Hoopo’s innovative hoopoSense Solar trackers.
As customer demand for accurate, real-time visibility throughout the supply chain continues to rise, ZIM is meeting industry needs by providing its customers with the highest levels of data accuracy and reliability. ZIM’s smart container solution enables end-to-end tracking, including the inland leg, giving customers full transparency into their shipments and a more accurate ETA, even after the containers exit terminals or depots enroute to their final destinations.
The hoopoSense Solar tracker sets a new industry standard with its advanced power efficiency, boasting a battery life of over 12 years, sufficient to last a container’s entire lifecycle. This eliminates the need for costly replacements. Each tracker delivers precise location data and features a unique, industry-first built-in door-opening detection system with 99% accuracy, enhancing cargo security by monitoring unauthorized access throughout the container’s journey. Additionally, the tracker meets ATEX-1 standards for secure products, making it suitable for LNG vessels and diverse marine environments.
Unlike traditional trackers that require additional door sensors, draining battery power and increasing device and installation costs, Hoopo’s all-in-one tracker enables rapid rollout and reduces the risk of future malfunctions linked to add-on devices. This solution provides ZIM and its customers with the market’s most reliable and cost-effective method.
Ittay Hayut, CEO and Co-Founder of Hoopo, added: “Our advanced door-opening detection system represents a significant breakthrough. This Hoopo proprietary solution integrates multiple sensors with sophisticated algorithms to achieve unmatched accuracy and reliability. Coupled with a unique solar panel and tracking technology, our devices offer a battery life of over 12 years—a game-changer for large-scale rollouts across shipping line fleets. This technology gives our customers a distinct competitive edge, providing secure, transparent, and dependable service while optimizing logistics operations."
As more shipping lines recognize the operational and financial benefits of smart containers, ZIM is setting the industry standard by integrating advanced telematics into its fleet. With real-time visibility and enhanced security, ZIM and Hoopo are ushering in a new era of smart, connected containers.
