The evolution of "smart" technologies for shipping containers is an exciting new frontier, one that promises to significantly advance the business of the global supply chain. These technologies must meet the dual requirements of effectiveness and affordability. For a system as complex as the containerized supply chain, this requires new ways of conceptualizing security, and a network of strategic relationships to develop a workable and comprehensive solution.
  
Several pioneering companies and organizations populate Erudite, Inc.'s sphere of strategic relationships. Together, we are working to create a supply chain security and logistics solution that fits the world.
