The preservation of specific goods such as frozen foods, pharmaceuticals, or especially vaccines requires strict temperature conditions. Therefore, the transportation of these particular goods also requires the refrigerated truck temperature monitoring system to be applied to ensure that the goods are in the temperature condition range during the transporting activities. Many solutions may have one or either many weaknesses, as mentioned below:
- Other areas in the truck compartment are unknown because only one point of temperature is measured
- Sensor replacement is usually complicated and requires good technical skills
- Abnormal temperature is not notified while the vehicle is in motion
- System usage is complicated, and collected data are not updated and missing.
SOLUTIONS
SmarTrans, a refrigerated truck temperature monitoring system, is developed and provided by Daviteq. In this solution, Sub-Ghz wireless sensors are connected to an iConnector – IoT gateway, and then the iConnector pushes data to a server through GPRS/3G/4G. The solution results in effective online tracking of the temperature in the truck compartment, eliminating the weakness of marketed solutions. SmarTrans solution offers the following main functions:
- The system measures multiple temperature points and shows the real-time value and historical trends even when the truck is in motion
- Temperature sensors are calibrated and certified by 3rd-party to ensure their high accuracy in compartment temperature measurement
- Globiots software is easy usage, user-friendly interface, immediate notification on PC screen, tablet, and smartphone when the temperature is out of range
- The solution is easily upgraded to monitor other factors such as door access, fuel management, idling status, driver identification, driver behaviour
