1. Integrity control, safety & quality

The market demands high standards of integrity control, safety & quality before even considering the logistic services offered. Quality and safety are of paramount importance at IMT. We work according to high quality guidelines and are certified according to international standards.

2. Just-in-Time assured deliveries

Just-In-Time information will be increasingly necessary across all modes of transport. But this creates a planning hazard for dateless-driven asset management. Telematics helps with Just-in-Time deliveries. Knowing the exact status of the load 24/7 means that resources can be better used.

3. Flexibility & efficiency

Environmental and operational efficiency is prompting major market players to more (inter)modal logistics. Telematics can give companies the vital data they need to control the supply chain more efficiently, data that’s available at every level of the manufacturing and delivery process.

4. Management by exception

The driving need for intermodal solutions creates new challenges, as more different transport types are used. Telematics ensures that these different forms of transport become organized and manageable. For example, it is possible to receive alerts with anomalies and to respond with appropriate interventions.

Smart telematics solutions for tank container or rail wagon

Whether it is a tank container or a rail wagon, any standard tank can be converted easily and quickly into a smart tank.

The concept of a smart tank is the installation of the IMT Communication & Location terminal that monitors the geoposition of the device and detects physical motion.

It also collects all data from other IMT sensors that are attached to the tank container or rail wagon and

sends the data to the IMT back-end where it can be accessed remotely via our web application, the IMT platform.

Depending on your needs and requirements, creating a smart tank can be done within five minutes. You can do that with any existing tank container that comes in for the 2.5 / 5 year inspection. In this way, the entire fleet can be ready for the future within 2.5 years, without any hindrance in terms of availability.

Rail wagon smart sensors

IMT develops its platform and sensors specifically for and together with rail wagon manufacturers, shippers, operators and leasing companies. Because of this, the platform does not stay at a specific level per customer, but instead grows and new features that are implemented for one customer become available in time for all customers if these features are of general benefit.

The information that can be provided by installing IMT services and sensors include a rail wagon’s location. Besides position, we can provide temperature and heating process monitoring, loading and unloading status and filling status (full/empty) of each railcar.

IMT also develops tailor-made sensors based on the wishes and specifications of our customers. All the data combined will help enable the automation of supporting processes.

Cryogene solution

IMT has developed a specialist sensor that measures the top and bottom pressures of cryogenic tank containers. Based on these pressure and volume measurements, a pre-set alert can be incorporated in the sensor, giving time for the operator or shipper to take appropriate action.

Main features of the cryogene solution (CS20)

Measuring the liquid level of cryogenic liquids in tank containers is commonly done by measuring the differential pressure between the liquid phase and the gas phase within the tank container. The differential pressure directly corresponds to the filling level of the tank. When the physical properties of the liquid and tank container are well known, one can easily calculate the loaded mass by measuring the differential pressure.
The gas pressure (aka working pressure) alone is also very valuable to measure, because for too low rest volumes after unloading it is known to come to a rapid increase in the gas pressure, which may result in the overpressure valve to open. To get an early warning of such a development, the gas pressure is an important key value to be monitored.
The IMT differential pressure sensing solution CS20 caters for both pressure measurements by using two PS20-Ex pressure sensor devices. The PS20-Ex is ATEX IIC certified.
Can be updated with new firmware wirelessly (OTA)
