The world's leading free-to-attend container transport and logistics event, Intermodal Europe, is the place to see the latest innovation in container design and management. Intermodal Europe 2013 will be held at the Hamburg Messe in Germany from 8-10 October.
Exhibitor, OÜ Xmetra, an Estonia based company,
will be introducing the innovative hazardous materials
leak detector at Intermodal Europe 2013. OÜ
Xmetra is a technological start-up company involved
in the development and manufacture of wireless
leak detectors for HazMats transportation applications.
The system is designed to detect leaks of hazardous

hazards. This innovative product is reported to
improve safety and eliminate the risk of accidents,
terrorist attacks and environmental pollution
during the transportation and storage of toxic
chemicals. It uses special sensors, combined with
modern communication, detection and energy saving
technologies.
