Product Snapshot
A reefer container is essentially a walk-in freezer built inside a steel box. Its integral refrigeration unit controls temperature, humidity and airflow so meat stays frozen, berries stay chilled and vaccines stay potent while crossing oceans, rails and roads. Real-time IoT sensors let shippers prove product integrity to insurers, regulators and buyers.
