To help specify materials and dispensing equipment, Bulk Tainer Telematics reached out to adhesives specialist, Intertronics. The design incorporated a robust metal enclosure, with specialised potting inside to meet the requirements of the relevant standards.īulk Tainer Telematics therefore needed to pot their devices using specialised resins that were explosion proof and met regulatory requirements. The company began developing devices to meet the highest ATEX requirements.
In addition, because of the nature of the hazardous environment and potentially flammable atmosphere surrounding the devices, safety features and properties of the potting compound used were required. This would optimise journeys to reduce bottlenecks, as well as reduce the business’ carbon footprint.īecause Bulk Tainer was developing a product dedicated to the isotank industry, one of the most important requirements – and biggest challenges – would be passing the compliance requirements, such as ATEX and IECEx. The team would incorporate artificial intelligence and machine learning, so that the software could learn from historical journeys and predict the best routes for the time of year. So, in 2019, the company partnered with Waleed Elmughrabi as its Technical Director, and took the bold step to create Bulk Tainer Telematics Ltd, to develop bespoke GPS systems specifically for the intermodal isotank sector.īulk Tainer Telematics’ purpose was to produce devices able to create an end-to-end ecosystem that monitors and tracks containers, feeding information into the fleet management system. However, Bulk Tainer Logistics was unable to find an off the shelf telematics product that matched its expectations. Additionally, the team planned to integrate weather forecasts and other data sources to build an intelligent model of the state and condition of the product in the tank throughout its journey. The company wanted to fit its tanks with smart monitoring devices that tracked the movement of the tanks and the product’s condition. Many of the chemicals it transports are hazardous, and its work is therefore highly regulated using equipment that has passed the relevant approval processes is essential. It operates a 12,000 strong fleet of chemical, feed, and food-grade tank containers to offer a complete logistics solution for both short and deep-sea bulk liquid transport. Bulk Tainer Logistics provides bespoke transport services for the shipment of bulk liquid products globally, with a portion of its fleet in every continent.
