The quest to develop a set of standards for data collected from smart containers has taken an important step forward.
The United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) has published its first set of standards which will help interoperability between different systems in the container supply chain.
UN/CEFACT’s Business Requirements Specifications (BRS) initiative was led by smart container technology developer Traxens, which includes CMA GCM and MSC among its …
