Packwise in the U.S.: A New Chapter in Houston, Texas
A few months ago, Packwise officially expanded to North America — and we are proud to reflect on this important step in our international growth journey.
Packwise, a German leader in intelligent tracking solutions for liquid containers, is thrilled to announce the North American launch of its cutting-edge Industrial IoT solution, marking a key milestone in its global growth strategy.
Packwise introduces two hardware versions to the North American market: the Packwise Smart Cap and the Packwise Smart Cap Ex, the latter of which includes additional certification for use in explosive and hazardous environments. These devices transform millions of mobile and stationary liquid tanks, such as Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), totes, and tank containers, into digital twins, offering real-time, high-precision sensor data on location, fill level, motion, and temperature. The Packwise Flow platform complements these hardware solutions by providing comprehensive data visualization and analysis, enabling real-time monitoring and optimization of supply chain processes.
Having equipped container fleets across Europe with the Packwise Smart Cap, the solution has proven its reliability and efficiency through millions of measurements. As Packwise enters the vast and high-potential market of mobile container tracking in North America, it brings a field-tested and industry-leading solution, specifically designed for the challenging conditions of the chemical industry.
