Know the temperature everywhere, all the time.

Cold-chain monitoring puts calibrated sensors in every chiller, freezer, cold room and vehicle, sends their readings over wireless gateways and raises an alarm before product is at risk.
Cold-chain monitoring

What It Is

Paper logs filled in twice a day cannot catch a door left open overnight. Wireless sensors record temperature, and where needed humidity and door status, every few minutes and send it to a central system that never sleeps.

When a reading leaves its limits the right person is told by app, SMS or call, with escalation if nobody responds. Every reading is kept, so audit reports and excursion investigations take minutes instead of days.

How It Works

The system from the sensor to the people who act on it. Every project is sized to the site, but the layers stay the same.

  1. Sense

    Wireless probes

    Battery-powered sensors with PT100 or thermistor probes, humidity and door contacts.

  2. Gateway

    Site gateways

    LoRaWAN or BLE gateways collect readings and buffer them if the internet drops.

  3. Connect

    Backhaul

    Ethernet, Wi-Fi or 4G/NB-IoT carries data to the platform over MQTT with TLS.

  4. Store

    Monitoring platform

    Readings, limits, excursions and calibration records in one place.

  5. Act

    Alerts & reports

    Escalating alerts, corrective-action notes and audit-ready reports.
