Overview
Our smart Reefer Monitoring Solution ensures 24/7 visibility and control of temperature-sensitive cargo across customers’ terminals. Using a combination of IoT sensors, wireless communication, and centralized monitoring platforms, our Solution enable real-time temperature, humidity, and power status tracking for refrigerated (reefer) containers. The Soltion supports automated alarms for any deviations, remote configuration of set points, and detailed logs for compliance reporting. Integrated with the Customer’s Terminal Operating System (TOS), the Solution reduces manual checks, minimizes spoilage risk, and enhances cargo safety, energy efficiency, and operational productivity.
Challenges
Manual Reefer Monitoring
- Ground staff must physically check and log temperature readings.
- Missed checks during peak hours lead to data gaps and compliance risks.
- Inability to detect faults or temperature deviations in real time.
Connectivity Limitations
- Large yards with wide reefer racks often face Wi-Fi blind spots.
- Difficulty in connecting multiple reefer containers to central systems.
- Environmental conditions like moisture, heat, and EMI affect device performance.
Compliance & Audit Pressure
- Difficulty maintaining continuous temperature logs for audits.
- No central log of temperature changes or manual interventions.
- Delays in identifying and correcting reefer unit failures.
Solutions
Our Reefer Connectivity & Monitoring Solution is a fully integrated system using wireless communication modules, IoT sensors, and a cloud-ready platform. Whether your reefer containers are stacked, scattered, or on the move, we ensure each unit stays connected, monitored, and controlled in real time.
Key features include:
✓ Plug-in or clamp-on monitoring units for power, temperature, and control.
✓ Wireless mesh or Wi-Fi coverage across reefer blocks and racks.
✓ Remote access platform for real-time visibility and control.
✓ Custom dashboards and reports for operators, supervisors, and compliance teams.
✓ Integration with TOS/WMS for smarter asset and cargo coordination.
From port terminals to cold storage logistics yards, our solution transforms reefer management from manual to smart—minimizing risk, improving safety, and enabling full control over every refrigerated container.
