Belgian researchers' container tracking focuses on tracing empties

BELGIAN researchers from iMinds-Ghent University are working on a new standardised format for the tracking containers using GPS, reports Bristol, England's Projects Magazine. 

iMinds focuses on the development of wireless communications networks and their application to industry, said the magazine that covers advances in European science. 



iMinds researcher Ingrid Moerman heads the Control and Management of Constrained Devices teams (COMACOD) which devises sensors to track the position of individual containers. 



The research targets the tracking of empty containers, which often become lost when not in use, creating costs. 



Ms Moerman has done previous work in the container tracking technology industry, according to the article, using low-power wireless networks to power tracking systems.
