Cold chain & logistics
Reefer temperature, doors and location, with stock write-offs and delivery proof as the action.
The plant
A cold room does not fail in the Tuesday meeting. It fails at 1am, while the consignment that has to move in the morning is already inside it. Industrial IoT keeps the room, the door and — where the load is on a vehicle — the place it was when the temperature left its band. Horticulture packhouses sit here: the buyer wants the history, not a screenshot of a gauge.
Factory dashboards
Each plant type has its own view. Open one.
Where a first line usually starts
- A warm load is discovered at the dock, not on the road.
- Door-open time is nobody's number.
- A rejected delivery is written off days later.
Doors
Door contacts on cold rooms and truck bodies.
Location
Where the shipment was when the temperature left its band.
Proof of delivery
Time, temperature and door state attached to the shipment.
From the sensor to the action

A gateway or tracker that can publish HTTPS or MQTT. LTE where the vehicle has no yard Wi-Fi.
- 03
Platform
Industrial IoT keeps the series per asset, on the cold store and on the vehicle.
- 04
Insight
Time out of range, door-open minutes and a late reading.
- 05
ERP action
A stock write-off or a delivery record in FactoraERP when the load cannot be sold.
