Paris Terminal, an operator of seven multimodal logistics facilities in the Île-de-France region, will deploy Identec Solutions' Reefer Runner 5G monitoring system at its Gennevilliers location.
"This strategic move aims to enhance the efficiency and reliability of refrigerated container (reefer) logistics, particularly along the Seine River, aligning with broader goals of promoting sustainable multimodal transport," the parties said in a press brief.
Juan-Manuel Suárez, CEO of Paris Terminal, added to this, "Implementing the Reefer Runner 5G solution at our Gennevilliers terminal marks a significant step forward in our digital transformation and sustainability journey. This partnership with Identec Solutions enables us to guarantee 24/7 visibility and safety for our reefer cargo, which is essential for our customers and for the growth of river logistics. By making inland waterway transport more efficient and reliable, we're strengthening our commitment to the Seine Axis and contributing to a greener, smarter future for freight in the Paris region."
Identec Solutions' Head of Marketing, Mark Buzinkay, also highlighted, "Partnering with Paris Terminal is a strategic milestone for us at Identec Solutions. We are proud to demonstrate the full capabilities of our Reefer Runner 5G solution in such a forward-thinking and multimodal environment. This deployment not only ensures reliable, real-time reefer monitoring for Gennevilliers, but also highlights how smart technology can support the growth of sustainable inland transport. We are excited about this collaboration and look forward to engaging with other container terminal operators and shipping companies across France to explore how we can help them achieve similar efficiencies and transparency in their cold chain operations."
The plug & play, real-time reefer data monitoring and management system will be deployed at Gennevilliers in phases, expanding to cover additional units, routes, and monitoring points in a scalable way. "This ensures the technology evolves in parallel with Paris Terminal's cold chain ambitions, offering tailored digital oversight whether for a single container or hundreds across different transit modes," the Reefer Runner 5G partners said.
Paris Terminal runs seven facilities overall, thereof two specifically equipped to handle containers, including reefers.
