Cold chain monitoring uses wireless sensors to record temperature as goods move through a supply chain. If a refrigerated van’s temperature rises above 8°C during a pharmaceutical delivery, the sensor fires an alert immediately – rather than the issue being discovered at the destination.
In vehicle applications, BLE temperature beacons inside the cargo area pair with a telematics device and transmit readings alongside GPS position data. This creates an end-to-end record: location, time, and temperature at every stage.
- Pharmaceutical – 2-8°C for refrigerated medicines, with alerts on any deviation
- Food distribution – different thresholds for fresh, chilled, and frozen product categories
- Compliance documentation – continuous logs support regulatory audits and insurance claims
- BLE beacon pairing – temperature sensors inside the load area pair wirelessly with the vehicle tracker
