Real-time container tracking via myKN by Kuehne+Nagel

The new Container Dashboard in Kuehne+Nagel's myKN online platform harnesses data from a geo-system cloud solution to allow customers to track all their containers in real-time.

"In addition, it reduces manual effort in identifying milestones and current deviations from the planned schedule. It not only increases accuracy and productivity by eliminating previous white spots in supply chain transparency but also enables early preventive measures for the cargo," says an official release.

Multiple data sources for increased accuracy
The Container Dashboard is part of Kuehne+Nagel’s digital solution myKN, says the release. "Notifications on the next milestones such as pick-up or departure improve the transparency of the customer's door-to-door transport chain. This includes pre- and on-carriage, demurrage and detention, as well as transshipments. A new user interface lists container flows and dwell times and highlights deviations from the initial carrier schedule. Long-term analytics allow customers to reorganise routes that consistently exceed dwell times. The underlying real-time geo system collects and includes telemetry and multiple internal and external industry data sources, such as carrier data, terminal information, route maps, and vessel trackers, to improve the accuracy of the estimated time of arrival."
