Smart Container Interfaces are digital interfaces that connect physical freight containers to IT systems such as transportation and warehouse management systems in real time via integrated sensors and communication modules. They enable the capturing and transmission of data on location, condition and environmental parameters (e.g., temperature, humidity, shocks), thereby supporting monitoring, control and optimization of logistics processes.
