What AELER Control Tower is
AELER Control Tower is an online platform for shipment visibility and cargo monitoring, presented as the digital companion to an AELER container. It combines container sensor readings with shipping-line information in one dashboard showing cargo condition and position. Available readings include temperature, humidity, luminosity, door status, and accelerometer data, with integrated sensors updating every 15 minutes. The platform can send email alerts for estimated arrival times and shipping-line disruptions. Users set cargo-health or deviation thresholds and choose alert types and volume. AI-powered arrival estimates combine sensor, shipping-line, telematics, and other data to signal possible delays early. Analytics and reporting provide shipment context and health status. Selected shipment details can be shared through a unique link without partner logins. Control Tower calculates shipment CO2 emissions and savings, including predictive planned-shipment calculations. API integrations can send sensor alerts and predictive ETAs to a customer’s tracking platform. Pricing is on request.
