Currently, BoxPlus is announcing formal implementation of data interface (API) using COA UDM_PLUS standard, enables real-time pushing of data collected by IOT devices(IBOX) to multiple customers, establishing the data transfer channel between IoT devices (IBOX), platforms, and end users' system.
The COA UDM_PLUS standard API which officially launched at the end of 2022 is an optimized version of the Container Owners Association Unified Data Model (COA UDM) standard co-edited by BoxPlus. This practice will further strengthen the foundation of the development of container telematics standardization.
The Container Owners Association(COA) was established in November 2004 as an international organization representing the common interests of all owners of freight containers. The principle aims of the COA are to provide global expertise, to promote common standards and to facilitate international lobbying. In June 2021, COA published the 'COA UDM FOR REEFER CONTAINER DATA EXCHANGE FORMATS'(COA UDM) developed by the COA's Reefer Telematics Working Group. The purpose of this Data Model is to enable the exchange of information on refrigerated containers in a uniform way, independent of the model and manufacturer. Its key objective is to remove barriers to interoperability within the industry and make it easier for data consumers to build value-added services for their container operations. The COA UDM can be seen as an important milestone in the digitalization and standardization of the container telematics industry.
Mr. Patrick Hicks, the secretary of Container Owner Association said, 'We are very pleased that BoxPlus is introducing this standard to its customers. As a member of the COA, BoxPlus has contributed positively in the development of industry standards. BoxPlus has been actively involved in the creation and formulation of COA UDM standards from 2020 to 2021 which is very much appreciated by the COA. This COA UDM _PLUS API standard announced by BoxPlus is coming from practical operations. The COA considers that the introduction of the Standard will be both productive and creative, and will accelerate the process of the industry standardization.'
The announced COA UDM_PLUS API standard has fully compliant with COA UDM and been optimized by BoxPlus based on practical operations with its customers. With this API, the extra data collected by IBOX, including container location, sensor of acceleration and door events etc., is enabled to serve the customers together with the data interacted from the refrigeration machinery. All of them has been proved very supportive for the end users to manage the global reefer supply chain and worthy to explore more commercial value. And also the harmonization of adopting and optimizing COA UDM by BoxPlus is a good approach to keep the compliance of standards and minimizing the technical complexity when extending the data scope of the telematic devices along with the development of either business or new technology or both of them. To protect the customer's privacy and data security, BoxPlus' COA UDM_PLUS API standard deployed security validation tools including whitelist for both side IP address, multiple interface authorization verification and automatic notification upon any exception occur .
