The shipment was able to be monitored throughout the entire journey due to the integrated live monitoring system. In case of a critical occurrence, Envirotainer’s Control Tower service allowed a global team of operators to be ready to respond within minutes.The Releye RAP sets a new standard for temperature-controlled, large capacity solutions.
