The importance of cold chain tracking became widely recognized during the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, which required ultra-cold temperatures between -90°C and -60°C (-130°F and -76°F). With advancements in technology, electronic loggers and IoT solutions now provide real-time temperature tracking, significantly improving the efficiency and reliability of cold chain management.
Golioth's IoT Cold Chain Asset Tracking solution provides real-time data on temperature, location, and time, ensuring that critical temperature thresholds are maintained throughout the cold chain process. With cellular connectivity and cloud integration, data is easily accessible for analysis and alerts.
The tracker ensures proper storage conditions by sending immediate notifications if temperature deviations occur, preventing spoilage and ensuring product safety. Whether a pallet of goods is accidentally left on the dock or there is a risk of temperature excursions during transit, the cellular-based cold chain tracker can quickly identify the issue and provide precise location data to facilitate corrective action.
This reference design is fully compatible with the Golioth platform and features.
