  Monitoring Benefits

Why use ArgoTrans for hazardous products monitoring?

You are shipping a hazardous product, like a corrosive liquid, a flammable chemical or radioactive byproducts. You want to keep better control on the transport of these products.

    With Argotrans, you get regular, independent, position reports all along the trip. This allows you to make sure the container is right where it should be, that it does not stay where it should not and that it takes the right transport mean.

You are shipping a chemical that needs to be delivered within a specific temperature range. You want to make sure that when the container arrives to your customer premises, the temperature is all right.

    With Argotrans for tank containers, besides position, you also get temperature data thanks to the integrated temperature sensor. So you know beforehand if the temperature is all right and you can take corrective action - before it's too late…

You are shipping a temperature sensitive chemical that needs to be heated or refrigerated. You want to make sure that the product always stays at the preset temperature to avoid any potential problem.
    With Argotrans for refrigerated containers, you get position, temperature and other data like status information (alarms, engine on/off, power available, etc…). When the temperature goes out of the normal range, you are able to have diagnostic information that helps you prevent and correct potential trouble.

You are using a complete fleet of containers to ship a specific product. You need to optimize fleet usage to make sure you are just using the right number of containers.

    With Argotrans, you always have a total control on the status of your fleet. You know where the containers are, thus you see which ones have been delivered, which ones are on their way back (and probably when they will arrive) and which ones are ready for use.

You are shipping chemicals, and you want to give better service to your customers.

    With Argotrans, you can easily give your customer real-time information on the status of the transport: where the load is and when it should arrive plus the temperature of the product. And all that is just a few clicks away. It is also possible to give information on all the trip
