Make sure temperature-sensitive products reach their destination fresh and safe for consumption. Use cold chain monitoring to transport perishables at the right temperature and eliminate the risk of human error.
Cold chain monitoring ensures that perishable items such as fruit, meat, and pharmaceuticals remain fresh throughout their journey and are safe for consumption.
Cold chain tracking helps you stay compliant with regulations that apply to the transportation of temperature-sensitive goods whether it's guidelines for pharmaceuticals or food safety regulations.
A remote reefer monitoring system lets you detect any temperature issues early on and take action. This way, you can prevent spoilage, minimise waste, and avoid financial losses.
You only need two devices to start using the cold chain tracking solution:
A Carrier Gateway, Thermo King iBox, or Thermo King Bluebox that is connected to the refrigeration unit.
The Mapon Expert device that transfers real-time data directly to the Mapon platform.
The days of big paper printouts are over. We turn temperature data into digital easy-to-understand graphs.
Follow the data in real time and adjust the displayed information using filters and zoom-in features to view specific data points.
You can also combine cold chain monitoring with the GPS tracking solution to see when and where the temperature changes happened.
Here is what you can track with our remote reefer monitoring system:
This metric serves as a reference point for all reports and alerts. You can integrate reefer parameters with your internal shipment system to oversee the correct temperatures for every cargo.

Successful cold chain tracking depends on making data-based decisions. Read our blog article to learn how to read temperature graphs and spot alarming situations!
Read more Kreiss, an important logistics provider in the European market, has gained a clear competitive advantage thanks to the Mapon remote reefer data retrieval and integration project.
Kreiss also managed to automate many internal processes for reefer unit maintenance and cold chain monitoring, setting new standards for refrigerated product shipping companies.
If anything happens to the reefer during the trip, it might take hours for the driver to notice it. A remote cold storage temperature monitoring system lets you quickly know that you need to contact the driver.

Learn moreIf the cargo has been loaded warm, the Mapon system uses a built-in mechanism that alerts you to gradually lower the temperature to cool down the cargo without damaging it.
Learn moreWith Mapon Expert tracking devices, you can easily access refrigeration unit battery status and voltage data. Use this information to prevent battery drainage during extended periods of inactivity and save money on replacements.

With Mapon, you can also track fuel consumption and costs of Carrier and Thermo King units.
Reefer units show how many hours they operated in different power modes (diesel, electric, etc.), so you can easily calculate fuel consumption and costs.
Use our API integration feature to send the refrigeration unit data and all the important alert information to your business systems, for example, internal order management software.
Once you receive atemperature deviation alert via the API integration, you can immediately contact the driver, notify the customer of potential delays, or arrange a replacement shipment.
