"Data help to make the supply chain safer"
Maarten Veltman, Customs Administration of the Netherlands
Smart seals
Smarter technological solutions help to gather useable data. Together
with the shipping company Seatrade, Customs Administration takes part in
a public-private pilot featuring Internet of Things applications.
Veltman: "This project concerns what we call smart seals: a device the
size of a car key that is put inside a container. The device registers
changes in for instance the magnetic field, temperature and brightness
of light i.e. whether the doors were opened during a transport. On
departure from the country of origin the data are read out via a
smartphone, a tablet or other device, and are automatically forwarded to
the customs administration in the country of destination. Upon arrival
there, it is simple to check if and when changes occurred."
