Nexxiot will deploy extra Globehoppers to Innofreight’s fleet in the near future.
Earlier this month, Nexxiot teamed up with E-P Rail to offer Cloud-based data analytics services for the Romanian freight rail operator’s fleet of locomotives and railcars.
Nexxiot will install its onboard sensor technology that will allow E-P Rail to provide new services for its clients via AI-supported analytics.
This partnership will see an advancement of the concept of ‘TradeTech’, which enhances global supply chains through digitisation.
