CNB: Creating Port-Yard-Ecosystem for Better Cargo Visibility
The Indian logistics sector is set to experience some structural changes as it forms an essential component for the ease of doing business which has attained a flagship status recently given the government's push for its improvement. At the same time businesses are expected to improve the parallel technology infrastructure and enhance corresponding capabilities so as to provide the stakeholders with better access to information on various processes related to the cargo, better estimated time of arrivals (ETAs) and complete visibility on movement of goods and services. However, the prime cause of concern for businesses that are into marine industry particularly comes from incomplete visibility on cargo movement and inadequate information about various processes such as imports and exports, eventually limiting the business possibilities. One of the main reasons for this is that majority of the players in the market which are big corporates usually undertake turnkey projects intended to modernize the sector leaving aside the issues related to the lifecycle of the cargo.IoT-powered Tracking Solutions
Acknowledging the needs of businesses, CNB gives them a leg up by creating a Port-Yard-Ecosystem through which containerized cargo move, enabling better cargo visibility and greater information accessibility in the system throughout the cargo lifecycle. "We infuse technology in one hand on the import-export infrastructure to make it more productive and connect different stakeholders on the other hand with real time information based on the data generated through our solutions for port, yard and transport systems. Our cloud-based tracking solutions backed by IoT sensor networks, bring visibility to yards and ports and make cargo related operations automatic, rule-based, efficient and profitable," informs Rajesh Kumar, Founder and Director. The company's IoT-powered
solutions which can be deployed in ports and yards collect process related data and help to manage the traffic and optimize the container movement.
Bringing-in Transparency into Maritime Logistics
CNB's solutions such as SmartPort, SmartYard and SmartTransport which are an integral part of the PortYard-Ecosystem enable businesses to track each and every movement and activity of the container throughout its lifecycle. The company provides businesses with advance ETAs of various containers enabling them to plan their internal space and traffic accordingly. To help importers, exporters and CHAs effectively manage the cargo and achieve better operational control the company offers a mobile-based solution named iHAWK that provides information about cargo in-transit. iHAWK by aggregating complete cargo information on a single platform helps to bring transparency into the maritime logistics.
Currently over 3 million cargo containers are being tracked annually through one or the other solution of the company which amount to about 20 percent of the Indian EXIM containerized cargo. Moving ahead, CNB is planning to expand its reach to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka in the Indian subcontinent along with African and South American countries in the near future.
