Food products are a big business, with an estimated worth of $3 trillion in the global market. As such, it is essential that food safety standards are met and maintained throughout the entire supply chain. This means being able to monitor the temperature of refrigerated or heated containers during transport and in storage for optimal quality control. In order to achieve this, many businesses in the food industry are turning to telematics solutions.

Telematics is the use of telecommunications technology to monitor and track data related to vehicles or other assets. In the case of temperature-sensitive goods, telematics systems can be used to remotely monitor the temperature of transport and storage containers during transit or in storage. This ensures that the temperature remains within acceptable limits and that the products remain safe for consumption.

Temperature sensors can be placed inside a refrigerated trailer, isothermal transport box or in a refrigerated locker to accurately measure and record the temperature at regular intervals. The data will then be transmitted via bluetooth low energy to a telematics box and then sent to an internet of things (IoT) platform. This allows businesses to visualize the history of temperature variations in the form of graphs and reports. Alerts can also be triggered when temperatures exceed preset thresholds, allowing for immediate corrective action.

The benefits of using telematics solutions for temperature monitoring are numerous. Not only does it improve product safety and quality, but also helps businesses save money by reducing food wastage. With the right sensors in place, problems such as health crises or spoilage can be avoided. Additionally, telematics solutions are designed to be compact and easy to install so they can be used practically anywhere.

Overall, the use of telematics solutions in the food industry has made it possible to monitor temperature-sensitive products more accurately and efficiently. This is crucial for maintaining the quality of goods, as well as improving the overall safety standards within the food supply chain. The use of reliable temperature sensors combined with a comprehensive telematics system can help businesses ensure that their products remain safe and of the highest quality throughout the entire supply chain. In short, it is an essential tool for any business in the food industry.

The use of telematics can be especially beneficial when combined with a Bluetooth temperature like the Blue PUCK T EN12830. This device is certified to EN12830-2018 standards, has a wide temperature range of -40° to +85°C, and can store up to 4000 temperature readings. Furthermore, it has a long lifecycle of up to 18 years and is also waterproof, making it an ideal choice for monitoring food products.

Overall, telematics solutions provide businesses in the food industry with important advantages when it comes to monitoring and maintaining the quality of temperature-sensitive goods. Combined with a reliable sensor like the Blue PUCK T EN12830, businesses can ensure that their products remain safe and of the highest quality throughout the entire supply chain.
