Loginno, a leading Israeli innovator in smart container technology, recently announced the launch of a pioneering smart container pilot with Iris Lines, one of the Philippines’ leading domestic shipping companies.
This initiative marks the first time a smart container service will be available for domestic container shipping in the Philippines.
This pilot is a direct outcome of Loginno’s industry-wide “The Contopia Factor 3” (TCF3) initiative, which aims to revolutionize the global shipping industry by creating a smart container data infrastructure in two phases. Phase one deals with container and cargo visibility for both the shipping company and its customers; whereas phase two expands towards governmental, and commercial use cases for customs, homeland security, port operation, cargo insurance, and trade finance, among others.
The introduction of smart container services in the Philippines is expected to have a significant positive impact on the local shipping industry. By leveraging advanced technology, Iris Lines will be able to streamline operations, reduce delays, and enhance overall service quality.
“Partnering with Loginno for this pilot is a strategic move that aligns with our vision of leading the maritime industry in technological innovation,” CEO of Iris Lines, Capt. Igal Dafni, said. “The smart container technology will provide our clients with unparalleled visibility and peace of mind, knowing that their shipments are monitored and managed with the highest level of precision, reliability, and security.”
This initiative is the result of a collaborative effort involving the Israeli trade office in the Philippines and the Philippines Department of Transportation (DOTr), whose support is seen to have been instrumental in facilitating this pilot, demonstrating a shared commitment to advancing the logistics and transportation sectors through innovative technologies.
“We are incredibly excited to partner with Iris Lines for this groundbreaking pilot,” Loginno Founders Shachar Tal and Amit Aflalo said. “This collaboration not only demonstrates the transformative potential of our technology but also sets a new standard for the logistics industry in the Philippines. As such, we believe that this pilot will serve as a catalyst for broader adoption of smart container technology across the region.”
