Logistics and cold chain

In a cold chain, the temperature has to be documented at every point the goods pass through. A standalone logger is only consulted on delivery, when nothing can be corrected. We fit sensors that report along the route, making it possible to detect a deviation while there is still time to act.

A real example

See this working in practice

A case built from the situations we see most often in this area, with the program working the way it would on your own site.

Situation

The breach is identified too late

The most frequent scenario is a trailer door left open longer than expected at a bay. The temperature rises for twenty minutes and comes back down. The logger reveals the spike only when someone downloads the data, already after the delivery, and the discussion then centres on responsibility.

For anyone delivering to customers with health requirements, the next challenge is documentary proof. A timestamped record per shipment is needed, available without reconstructing anything from memory.

What we measure

  • Temperature in cold rooms, freezers, trailers and insulated boxes
  • Relative humidity, where the product requires it
  • Door opening and dwell time at the bay
  • Ambient and product temperature at delivery points
  • Operating status of the refrigeration unit
  • And other quantities, depending on what your operation needs to track.

What you get

A concrete result for the team

Alert during transport

The deviation is detected in transit, with enough time to adjust the refrigeration unit or reroute the load.

A record per shipment

Each journey produces its own timestamped history, door openings included, ready to hand to the customer.

Fixed points watched too

Cold rooms, warehouses or other fixed points are monitored the same way, with alerts outside working hours.

No data costs per vehicle

On a private sensor network with gateways at the transit points, there is no monthly subscription per sensor.

The warehouse cold rooms, as a starting point

They represent the simplest point to instrument and the one that produces the first complete record. Extending to the vehicles happens afterwards, once the network is validated.
