In partnering with ZIM, a leading shipping line, Hoopo designed the cutting-edge hoopoSense Solar tracking device – the ultimate solution for tracking and monitoring dry containers. By addressing the challenges with existing solutions and listening to ZIM's insights regarding the market needs, this development resulted in a groundbreaking product that revolutionizes smart containers.

The hoopoSense Solar boasts a military-grade solar panel engineered to operate effectively in suboptimal sun conditions, ensuring reliable performance in real-world operational environments. Coupled with advanced charging and power preservation algorithms, this tracker maintains an exceptional battery life of over 12 years, ensuring containers remain "smart" throughout their entire lifespan. This breakthrough in battery life, combined with a quick and simple installation process, is crucial for large-scale deployments across millions of assets in shipping line fleets.

Additionally, the tracker features an integrated door-open detection system, the first of its kind, enabling the monitoring of container integrity without the need for additional sensors, saving time and reducing costs.

‍

To address connectivity and reliability challenges faced by existing tracking solutions, the hoopoSense Solar tracker utilizes a combination of advanced location and wireless technologies that automatically interoperate to maintain visibility anywhere in the world. Furthermore, its unique mounting method allows the tracker to function as a BLE hub, enabling the integration of additional sensors or smart tags both inside and outside the container. This flexibility supports the collection of comprehensive data, enhancing fleet management and cargo visibility.

The deployment of Hoopo's solution enables ZIM to improve service delivery, optimize operational efficiency, and strengthen its competitive position in the maritime logistics sector. Hoopo's open system approach ensures seamless integration with ZIM's existing processes and systems, including bill of lading (BL) data and port geofencing. This allows ZIM to provide their customers with real-time visibility into the status of their shipments, improving overall service quality and operational efficiency.
