Advanced Cold Chain Monitoring with BLE Sensors

Using IoT to reduce losses from cold storage failures.

Welcome to the latest update from IOTEK LLC, your Orlando and Puerto Rico-based, minority-certified business enterprise. We will be exhibitors at the MIDA Conference and Food Show from June 13th to 15th 2024.  

As industry leaders, we are dedicated to exploring and implementing cutting-edge technologies that address the dynamic needs of the food and logistics sectors.  We're excited to discuss and showcase the integration of our TrackPRO devices with temperature monitoring using Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) sensors—a game-changing solution for fleet and cargo monitoring, especially for the food and distribution industry.    

 

The Imperative for Temperature-Controlled Logistics

The temperature tracking and monitoring industry plays a pivotal role in global economics and environmental sustainability. With a multi-billion-dollar impact worldwide, the cold chain logistics sector is continuously evolving to meet the growing demands of consumers. Ensuring the integrity of transported goods such as meat, poultry, dairy products, seafood, agricultural produce, and even sensitive items like pharmaceuticals and flowers requires sophisticated monitoring solutions. The lack of a robust cold chain can lead to substantial food loss—as much as 20% globally, according to the International Institute of Refrigeration. 

 

•  Real-Time Temperature and Location Monitoring 

Our GPS systems provide live tracking of vehicle locations, while BLE sensors continuously monitor and report the temperature conditions inside the transport units. This dual functionality ensures that all goods are transported within their required temperature ranges, drastically reducing the risk of spoilage. 

• Enhanced Cargo Safety and Compliance 

With the ability to monitor temperature conditions in real-time, logistics companies can ensure compliance with health and safety regulations more efficiently. This system also provides detailed logs and reports that are essential for audit trails and proving compliance. 

•  Improved Operational Efficiency 

GPS and BLE technology simplifies the monitoring process, reducing the need for manual checks and enabling automated control systems. This efficiency not only saves time but also reduces the labor costs associated with traditional monitoring methods. 

•  Quick Response to Incidents 

Immediate alerts from the sensors enable fleet managers to quickly address any deviations from set temperature parameters. This rapid response capability is crucial in preventing spoilage and ensuring the safe delivery of sensitive goods. 

•  A Step Towards Sustainable Logistics   

By integrating advanced GPS and BLE temperature sensors, IOTEK is not only enhancing the operational efficiency of logistics fleets but also contributing to more sustainable business practices. Reducing spoilage means fewer resources wasted and a smaller carbon footprint, aligning with global efforts towards environmental sustainability.
