JPIntroduction
The efficient and secure transportation of perishable commodities, such as food, medicines, and chemicals, is essential in today’s globalized world. An important part of this procedure is cold chain logistics, which makes sure that these delicate goods are maintained within predetermined temperature ranges while in transit.
However, because exact temperature control and monitoring are required, it might be difficult to preserve the integrity of cold chain operations. Here’s where the Internet of Things (IoT) comes into play. It offers cutting-edge solutions that, through improved data analytics, real-time monitoring, and increased overall efficiency, completely transform cold chain operations.
Jimi IoT, a global leader in asset tracking and logistics technology, leverages advanced solutions to help stakeholders address these challenges effectively. In this regard, Jimi IoT will help you select the optimal partner for your supply chain solutions.
What is Cold Chain Monitoring?
Cold chain monitoring refers to using internet of things (IoT) technology to continually monitor temperature-sensitive products being transported in a “Cold Chain”—that is, a supply chain of perishable and/or temperature-sensitive products such as pharmaceuticals, biologics, food and beverages.
The Jimi IoT’s LL309 is a 4G asset tracker that provides precise location tracking through GPS. It’s equipped with a built-in temperature and humidity sensor, continuously monitoring conditions and sending instant alerts over the 4G network if any deviations occur, making it ideal for safeguarding perishable goods.
Traditional supply chain temperature monitoring can be slow and inaccurate. This can lead to product spoilage and compliance challenges, which may result in costly redeliveries for logistics companies.
The Role of IoT in Cold Chain Monitoring
The IoT has revolutionized cold chain monitoring by enabling real-time visibility and control over the entire supply chain. IoT-enabled devices, such as temperature sensors, GPS trackers, and RFID tags, can be attached to products or containers to collect data and transmit it to a central platform. This data can then be accessed by stakeholders, such as manufacturers, logistics providers, and retailers, to make informed decisions and ensure product integrity.
Effective cold chain management demanThe LL309 stands out with its advanced capabilities in precise location tracking, utilizing GPS technologies. This ensures accurate and continuous monitoring of your assets, regardless of their location. Beyond location data, the device features a built-in temperature and humidity sensor, which tracks environmental conditions in real-time. Any deviation from the preset parameters triggers instant alerts over the 4G network, enabling operators to take corrective action immediately and prevent spoilage or quality loss.
In scenarios where connectivity may be temporarily unavailable, the LL309 is equipped to store up to 20,000 records of location, temperature, and humidity data offline. This stored data can later be exported via a Type-C cable for analysis, compliance documentation, and optimization of cold chain operations.
By incorporating the LL309 into your cold chain monitoring strategy, you can ensure that every shipment arrives in optimal condition, reducing losses, enhancing customer satisfaction, and meeting stringent quality standards.
Benifits of Cold Chain Monitoring
Cold chain temperature monitoring allows operations managers to precisely control temperatures across their entire fleet of vehicles. This ensures products meet safety standards and maintain quality during transport and storage. Real-time data and temperature logs provide proof that sensitive goods, essential in sectors like pharmaceuticals, healthcare and food and beverage are handled correctly.
Cold chain monitoring solutions also improve resource management, reducing waste and preventing product loss due to improper temperature conditions.
Cold Chain Compliance
Regulatory bodies worldwide continue tightening cold chain monitoring regulations to ensure the safety and quality of temperature-sensitive products. Compliance is important for organizations involved in the storage and transportation of perishable goods.
For example, in sectors like healthcare and pharmaceuticals improperly stored vaccines can become ineffective. Strict temperature guidelines set by authorities such as the Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) help ensure the safe storage of medicinal products.
A critical step in cold chain shipping is ensuring that both the products and the transportation environment are pre-cooled to the correct temperature before loading. Products must meet designated shipping temperature setpoints, as even minor deviations can compromise quality and shelf life. According to the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), shippers are responsible for verifying pre-cooling processes and documenting compliance to maintain the integrity of the shipment.
