Jointech Partners with SF Express to Revolutionize Precious Metals Logistics Security

As the global demand for secure precious metal logistics continues to escalate, maintaining both safety and efficiency has become a critical challenge. Since 2021, Jointech has been instrumental in enhancing the security and transparency of SF Express's high-value logistics operations by providing customized smart terminal devices. These innovative solutions have played a crucial role in ensuring SF Express's remarkable record of "zero incidents, zero losses" in its precious metal transport network.

Precision Security for High-Value Cargo Transport

Transporting precious metals requires security measures that go above and beyond the industry standard. SF Express's logistics operations employ a hybrid land-air transport system to safeguard valuable cargo. In the air, shipments are securely loaded onto specialized pallets aboard all-cargo aircraft, with a dedicated team ensuring proper handling during loading and unloading. After passing through Shenzhen, goods are transported by cross-border trucks directly to Hong Kong, with armed escorts ensuring safety during land transit.

In this highly secure logistics model, Jointech’s custom smart electronic locks and terminals provide real-time monitoring, enhancing safety and efficiency while minimizing the risk of human error.

Jointech Customized Smart Terminals

In SF Express’s precious metals transport process, Jointech’s smart electronic lock terminals act as “digital sentinels,” monitoring key points and ensuring cargo security. These terminals come equipped with the following features:

• Real-Time Location Tracking: Precise tracking of cargo locations and route data
• Lock Status Feedback: Accurate reporting on lock and unlock activities
• Abnormal Access Alerts: Immediate notifications for unauthorized attempts to access cargo
• Seamless Integration: Compatibility with SF Express's monitoring platform for unified oversight

Achieving a Seamless, Transparent Logistics Process

Combining SF Express’s cross-border land-air transport model with a custom-designed digital monitoring system, Jointech’s smart terminals enable real-time synchronization of cargo location and lock status throughout the logistics process, ensuring comprehensive tracking and monitoring.

During the air transport phase, the smart terminals work in conjunction with dedicated pallet loading on all-cargo aircraft, ensuring the safety of precious metals during their journey from Shenzhen to Hong Kong, free from external threats.

On the ground, the smart terminals, along with armed escorts, guarantee the security of the precious metals during transit. The accompanying digital monitoring system records every transportation detail, ensuring that all data remains transparent and traceable, further strengthening security and enhancing visibility for SF Express.

Facilitating Supply Chain Finance with Transparent Data

With the gradual adoption of the "Technical Specifications for Smart Warehouse Inventory Supervision," the application value of Jointech's smart terminal devices in supply chain finance scenarios is becoming increasingly prominent. Leveraging the data collected by these devices, businesses can provide accurate, real, and verifiable status certificates for movable asset pledging, warehouse receipt financing, and other financial services, effectively meeting the stringent regulatory requirements for transparency and control.

The data collected by the devices can be integrated into clients' own systems, helping to create a closed-loop digital supervision process and becoming a vital tool for compliance and risk management.

Empowering High-Security Logistics with Tailored IoT Solutions

Jointech’s smart terminals are not only strengthening SF Express’s security protocols for high-risk, high-value cargo but also highlighting Jointech's expertise in providing customized IoT solutions for complex logistics environments. With deployments in over 80 countries, Jointech’s intelligent terminals are widely used across industries like container monitoring, tanker transport, cold chain logistics, and hazardous materials shipping.

As the demand for secure, digitalized logistics continues to grow, Jointech remains committed to driving innovation. We continue to provide smarter, more reliable IoT terminal solutions that help companies elevate the security and efficiency of global high-value logistics.
