Cargo theft represents a major challenge for the global logistics industry, causing considerable financial losses and disruption to supply chains. In this white paper, you will find an exhaustive analysis of the various facets of this complex phenomenon.
The white paper describes the scope and methods of cargo theft, detailing the techniques employed by thieves at different points in the supply chain, from warehouses to in-transit shipments. Drawing on an in-depth case study, the paper illustrates in concrete terms the challenges faced and the solutions implemented to counter these malicious acts. The white paper also examines the increase in strategic theft in several regions, highlighting worrying trends and particularly vulnerable areas. Finally, it proposes risk mitigation strategies, including the adoption of advanced technologies such as smart containers, the training of security personnel, and the improvement of surveillance and response protocols. These recommendations aim to strengthen the resilience of supply chains in the face of the growing threat of cargo theft.
In the face of this persistent threat, smart containers are the technological solution that company need nowadays. These containers are equipped with IoT (Internet of Things) devices that enable real-time tracking and offer a number of advantages for securing goods:
1/ Real-time tracking: smart containers are equipped with GPS sensors that provide precise information on the location of cargo. This enables logistics managers to constantly monitor the position of containers and quickly detect any deviation from the planned route.
2/ Intrusion detection: Motion sensors and opening detectors are integrated to signal any attempted break-in. When an intrusion is detected, an alert is immediately sent to security managers, enabling rapid intervention.
3/ Data analysis: Data collected by smart containers is centralised and analysed to identify recurring patterns of theft or high-risk areas. This predictive analysis makes it possible to anticipate incidents and reinforce security at key points.
This white paper highlights the growing importance of smart containers in the fight against this scourge. By offering enhanced surveillance, early detection of incidents and better management of transport conditions, these innovative technologies are proving to be invaluable allies in securing global supply chains. Investing in smart containers is therefore an essential strategy for logistics industry players looking to protect their goods and optimise their operations.
