Automatic Mobile Temperature Monitoring System

Now System5 gives you a mobile monitoring system:

transport freezer

 

Maybe you are a transport company wanting to keep track of your consignments status during its transportation, or even a company needing to monitor a valuable product.

 

Then Thermal systems can help!

 

 

 

 

Over the years thermal systems have endeavoured to provide a solution to monitoring a consignments temperature and humidity status during its transportation anywhere in the world twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, direct to your Computer network or to your laptop.

Only now is this possible with today’s technology:

 

  • GPRS Modem
  • Icespy System5
  • Computer system

 

Ok so what can we monitor, and how?

 

Let’s say a consignment of medicine needs to travel four hundred miles to its destination and I need to know that it’s temperature is kept stable by the carrier between 2°C and 10°C and that it is at the correct humidity of say 10%.

I also need to know if the door to my shipment has been opened and exactly when it was opened and the resulting variation of temperature and humidity.

 

With system5 this is now possible in real time and at the click of your mouse.

 

Another use maybe you’re a meat manufacturer and need to record the temperature of your vehicle's consignments of meat from storage facility to factory to wholesalers.

  

With system5 this is now possible as each vehicle will automatically download all of its consignments status each time it leaves or returns from a recording depot.

 

Now just say you wish to monitor a fleet of refrigerated vans and know when and for how long the door was open for.

This is also possible with system5.

Not only that, with a GPRS Modem installed on the vehicle you could call the driver to let them know if there is a problem with the temperature of the goods on the vehicle.

  • Direct to your PC

 

 Logging and recording temperatures in transit.

With System5 automatic data downloads all this is possible.

 

A company running a small fleet of temperature controlled lorries delivers high quality strawberries or say chocolates. Spoilage may be cosmetic but renders the product worthless or reduces its shelf life dramatically.

The company wants to have proof that deliveries to their customers have been completed successfully.

In the past it has been impossible to prove that goods had been stored correctly whilst in transit.

Say for instance that your product is sensitive to moisture and was partly damaged on arrival. There was no way to find out the humidity of the consignment during transit or for instance the doors to your consignment had been opened giving access to your product or allowing a degree of temperature fluctuation causing your product to spoil.

You ask the delivery company for a log, tracking your shipment and they tell you that your goods were in good condition whilst in transit but your consignment must have been stored incorrectly before them delivering it.

Sound familiar?

The requirement was to have an automatic, hands-free, paperless temperature and humidity recording system in each lorry.

The data had to automatically download to the company computer network from almost anywhere in the world, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.

In summary the requirement is:-

1.       Accurate temperature audit trail

2.       Measure and log temperature and humidity

3.       Measure door events

4.       Collect all data at centralized point to be viewable by a PC network.

 How we can help

Within each lorry the temperature and door openings at the back of the lorry are measured using a System5 SCOUTPlus with door sensor.

The temperature and humidity are measured using a SCOUTPlus with external humidity sensor fitted.

On return to the depot the data collected is automatically downloaded to the company’s computer network via a radio bridge. This data is then available to all authorized personnel on a PC or network in a simple to view format.

Mobile monitoring systems.

Mobile monitoring logistics

When goods are in transit and need monitoring the System5 Mobile package is required.

The main difference between the standard monitoring system and the Mobile system, is the way that the data is automatically received by a Radio Bridge.

Data such as temperature and humidity is measured by sensors and recorded on a SCOUT.  The data is stored until such time as it can be uploaded to a PC via a Radio Bridge. 

The logger automatically uploads data via a icespy Radio Bridge when one is found within range.

 

With a GPRS Modem fitted in the vehicle the system will allow you to track your consignments status from almost anywhere, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.

 

Now isn’t that a system with sensors that make sense?
