1. Monitor the temperature of the refrigerated/cooled vehicle
Refrigerated trucks are becoming essential for long-distance transport of food with short shelf lives. However, how can you ensure the refrigeration system is functioning properly? In many cases, refrigeration system malfunctions are only discovered during inspections or when the food is unloaded at its destination. This is because the refrigerated container cannot be opened and closed arbitrarily during transit, as this would cause temperature fluctuations that directly affect food quality.
To avoid information delays that could cause significant losses, you need to install temperature monitoring sensors integrated directly with the GPS tracking device. This technology continuously updates the temperature status of the refrigerated container and will automatically send alerts when the temperature difference exceeds a safe threshold. This allows you or the operations manager to take immediate action before the food in the storage compartment spoils.
Additionally, you can also receive an automatic Temperature Sensor Report, which includes complete data: temperature level, time, and location at the start of the trip; temperature level, time, and location at the end of the trip; distance traveled and travel time; and long-term stops. This report not only helps you check compliance with food safety standards but also provides authentic evidence in case of complaints about the quality of delivered food.
2. Ensure timely delivery
Many foods have short shelf lives and spoil easily within days or weeks. When shipping over long distances, any delay can significantly impact the quality of the delivered food. For example, fruits and vegetables, if delayed, may overripe before arrival. As a result, these produce go to waste because the store that ordered them cannot sell them.
GPS tracking systems help prevent these losses from occurring by ensuring your logistics vehicles complete their missions on time. With GPS technology, you can:
✔️ Assign the most efficient route to the driver based on comparison data of the trip history.
✔️ Ensure the driver does not get lost or deviate from the established route.
✔️ Receive automatic notifications when the driver departs or shows signs of being late.
✔️ View engine performance data for timely alerts regarding maintenance and repair needs.
✔️ Know the exact location of your vehicle if it breaks down on the road so you can address the problem immediately.
All these features help minimise delays in the transportation process. This way, you won't suffer losses due to reduced quality or damage to food transported by your logistics fleet.
