Temperature Monitoring: Transport & Logistics Industry
Using warehouse and factory wide systems for environmental monitoring is great, but do you know what is happening to goods once they are in transit? In-Vehicle environmental monitoring is becoming more and more important, especially considering the value placed on goods on board.
Case Study:
Northern Marine Underwriters
Northern Marine Underwriters offer LogTags to certain customers, who want a record of temperatures during international shipping.
By fitting LogTags in shipping containers, any problems which have occured during transit can be identified. Timestamped data means this data can be cross-referenced with different stages of the journey. By doing this NMU can locate the source of any problems.
Traditionally, temperature checks would be done on vehicle loading, and on unloading at the other end. This meant that there was no knowledge of the conditions goods were held in during transit.
Many food products, and certainly medicines and vacines, have a limited shelf life. This shelf life can be drastically shortened if the temperature during transport is outside of recommended levels.
Isatec can supply solutions to customers who want to fill this gap in data, either using historical recording, automatic data downloading, or even real-time information via telematics.
Benifits of monitoring:
- Alerts to mistreatment of goods during transportation
- Provides historical data, ideal for audits
- Can be integrated into larger systems easily
Product Suggestions:
- For manual downloading data loggers, LogTags are an ideal solution.
- For automatic downloading data loggers using wireless, Rmoni Wireless provides a solution.
- For bespoke active RFID, Isatec uses the Ambient 3000 series.
