On roads and rails

Due to the scale of operations the hubs of container transport, i.e. the deep sea container ships and their ports of call, i.e. the main container terminals are often the main point of interest when talking efficiency and quality of operations.

Very often the transition between these major container hubs whether containers are transported by railway or trucks are however the cause for quality issues. The challenges during these transitions includes change of responsibility, independent routines, accessibility of containers etc.

The meet the requirements for quality and efficiency YORK Marine, Controls offers a range of products which also covers this equally important link in the container cooling chain.

RefLine is the product that closes the cooling chain in this segment.
RefLine uses the container's RMM interface in the same way the REFCON installation does: to gather information about the condition of the cargo being transported. Thanks to this interface, no additional temperature sensors or other devices are necessary, since all information is gathered from the reefer controller unit, which holds the "true measure values".

Using this interface facilitates installation. It also eliminates validity issues about correct temperature measurement, which can arise when solutions fit the container with additional sensors.
RefLine communicates through GSM or CDMA connections. RefLine is equipped with GPS technology, enabling you to track your cargo.
RefLine can monitor up to 50 reefer containers using the RMM interface. This significantly reduces your equipment and installation costs.

RefLine's rugged housing is intended to withstand the harsh conditions in the trucking sector.

REFLINE is a stand alone monitoring unit which communicates with the container by use of the ISO10368 modem installed in the container. REFLINE is suitable for installation on generator sets, railway cars, trucks, trailers or other means used to transport a container, or REFLINE can be installed on the container itself.

REFLINE keeps the user informed about status of the container through use of e-mail, mobile phone text messages and Internet database access as suitable for the specific purpose and situation. In the event of a cargo critical condition REFLINE provides immidiate information about this condition, allowing the operator to take immediate action to prevent any cargo losses.
