Better control and performance of your cold chain assets

Reefer tracking monitors the temperature and condition of a refrigerated trailer, truck or van in real time as it's on the road, rather than relying on a driver checking and logging it by hand. A device fitted to the reefer unit reports live temperature back to your team, so you always know whether a load is being kept in range, without waiting for someone to check. 

No — that's the point of it. Temperature is monitored continuously and your back-office team is alerted the moment a unit drifts outside its set range, so someone can act on it while the load is still moving rather than finding out after delivery. 

Yes. By reading engine and temperature data from the reefer unit, machine learning can flag units at risk of shutdown up to seven days in advance. That gives your maintenance team time to book it into the workshop, instead of finding out when a driver calls to say the unit has stopped.

Standard monitoring reads the air temperature inside the trailer. CoreTemp goes a step further, using an algorithm to estimate the actual temperature of the product itself — a stronger basis for proving a load was kept in range the whole way, not just that the trailer air was cold enough at some points. 

It covers all three. Most reefer monitoring on the market is built for trailers only, but cold chain work also runs on straight trucks and last-mile delivery vans. EROAD covers refrigerated trailers, straight reefer trucks and vans through different hardware suited to each, so you're not stitching together separate systems for different parts of your fleet. 

Yes. Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) rules expect operators to demonstrate that a load was kept at the correct temperature throughout transit, and major shippers often have their own requirements on top of that. Because the temperature record builds automatically while the load is moving, it's ready whenever an auditor or shipper asks for it.
