Lenzing’s ocean shipment tracker aids transparency and CO2 goals
Wood-based fibre supplier Lenzing has launched a real-time ocean shipment tracker in collaboration with digital supply chain solution company Project44 to increase visibility in the supply chain.
Combined with advanced artificial intelligence, GPS sensors and machine-learning technologies, customers can receive real-time insights on fibre orders, ranging from shipment status and container location to vessel route tracking and estimated arrival times at ports.
Thomas Panholzer, vice-president of global supply chain at Lenzing, said: "Over the past couple of years, supply chain disruptions have highlighted the importance of advanced ocean shipment tracking. Our real-time shipment tracker is a testament to Lenzing's 'Better Growth' corporate strategy, which reinforces our commitment to digitally transform and ensure transparency in the textile and nonwovens supply chain.
“With supply chain transparency and sustainability becoming increasingly more important, our ability to implement groundbreaking carbon emission tracking at shipment and container level demonstrates that we are ready and eager to collaborate with our valued customers in jointly crafting ambitious carbon reduction targets.”
The ocean shipment tracker can also provide Scope 3 carbon emission data accredited by the Global Logistics Emission Council (GLEC) framework on shipment and container level. This data allows Lenzing and its customers to collaboratively establish goals and adjust shipment plans to reduce carbon emissions.
Jayaraman Sethuraman, vice-president of global sales for textiles at Lenzing, said: "This new carbon visibility solution is a pivotal milestone for Lenzing. As our partners intensify their efforts to minimise their carbon footprint, we stand ready as a trusted collaborator to empower them with crucial insights to drive further reductions.”
