ROCHELLE PARK, N.J., Oct. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ORBCOMM today announced it has joined the Move to -15\u00b0C campaign as a technology provider to help track and share the telematics data that will help quantify the initiatives impact.<\/p>\n
Launched at COP28, the Move to -15\u00b0C is a coalition of industry leaders committed to changing the global temperature that frozen food is stored and transported at from -18\u00b0C to -15\u00b0C. This move could cut carbon emissions by 17.7 million metric tonnes<\/a> and reduce energy consumption by 25 terawatt-hours<\/a>.<\/p>\n Were proud to be joining this initiative, alongside other industry leaders, to support the evolution of a decades-old frozen food standard that hurts our environment, says Christian Allred, ORBCOMM SVP and GM of Maritime IoT.<\/p>\n As a supply chain visibility technology provider, data matters to us. And what the data shows is that dropping the temperature frozen goods are stored and transported at by a few degrees can have a massive positive impact on the planet.<\/p>\n With over 30 years of experience in industrial IoT, ORBCOMM reefer telematics are among the leaders in the industry in over-the-road transportation<\/a> and maritime<\/a>. Six of the worlds top 10 shipping lines use ORBCOMM technology to remotely monitor and manage cargo conditions like temperature and humidity to help reduce carbon footprint, eliminate operational inefficiencies and improve cargo integrity.<\/p>\n Today, ORBCOMM cold chain customers are using telematics to help reduce spoilage<\/a>, improve resource efficiency, simplify ESG reporting and increase operational transparency. With ORBCOMM joining the Move to -15\u00b0C coalition, they can now use the same data to quantify the initiatives effects.<\/p>\n Since its launch at COP 28 in 2023, the Move to -15\u00b0C has doubled its membership numbers. Today, it includes stakeholders from every stage of the frozen food cold chain, including Maersk, DP World, Hapag-Lloyd, Lineage, Ocean Network Express and Morrisons.<\/p>\n For more information about the Move to -15\u00b0C initiative, visit https:\/\/www.movetominus15.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n About ORBCOMM Inc.<\/strong><\/p>\n ORBCOMM is a pioneer in IoT technology, empowering customers with insight to make data-driven decisions that help them optimize their operations, maximize profitability and build a more sustainable future.

It was founded following the launch of the Three Degrees of Change report, an academic paper supported by global logistics firm, DP World, and delivered by experts from the Paris-based International Institute of Refrigeration, the University of Birmingham and London South Bank University among others. Recognising that a change in global temperature standards requires a collective effort, the Coalition intends to bring together key players within the global food supply chain to collaborate and explore viable options for a move to -15\u00b0C.\u00a0<\/p>\n www.movetominus15.com<\/a><\/p>\n Move to -15\u00b0C<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>media contact<\/strong><\/p>\n Jack Stewart, Edelman A photo accompanying this announcement is available at https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/NewsRoom\/AttachmentNg\/02359290-5a2d-44cf-afa6-f8bd7fd4180f<\/a><\/p>\n
