Intermodal Chassis & Container Asset Tracking Across Global Corridors
A global maritime shipping line managing 45,000 intermodal chassis and shipping containers moving between ports, rail yards, and customer warehouses.
Run on Vahana · Asset Reliability & Fleet
The challenge
Unpowered chassis assets were frequently mislaid in vast port storage yards, taking days of manual search to locate.
Customers suffered detention fees due to inaccurate asset location tracking data.
Chassis maintenance issues (tire pressure loss, hub temperature spikes) caused highway breakdowns during drayage transport.
How Vahana solves it
Ultra-Low Power IoT Sensor Ingestion
Vahana ingests low-power solar/battery IoT telemetry (GPS, BLE, tire pressure, hub temperature) across 45,000 assets.
Automated Yard Location Mapping
Provides sub-meter asset location accuracy inside port terminals and container yards.
Predictive Drayage Health Checks
Scans chassis tire pressure and wheel hub temperature before trucks leave port gates, preventing highway breakdowns.
Automated Dwell Time & Detention Alerts
Alerts operations leads when assets exceed target dwell time thresholds at customer sites.
Asset Utilization Optimization
Balances chassis inventory across regional rail ramps based on predicted import container arrivals.
The outcome
- asset yard search time reduced
- 0 hoursasset yard search time reduced
- increased fleet chassis utilization efficiency
- 0%increased fleet chassis utilization efficiency
Asset yard search time reduced from 4 hours to under 30 seconds per chassis.
Increased fleet chassis utilization efficiency by 24%, reducing capital expenditure for new assets.
70% reduction in drayage roadside breakdowns through automated port gate safety scans.
