ST. LOUIS (December, 5, 2023) – Copeland, a global provider of sustainable climate solutions, and Maersk Container Industry (MCI), a leading reefer container manufacturing company, announced today that they are collaborating to integrate Copeland’s REFCON 6 BLE reefer monitoring system with MCI’s Star Cool reefer containers fitted with Sekstant gateways. This collaboration helps aggregate multiple IoT provider datasets to improve cold chain visibility in the marine shipping industry.
