When implemented with xTrack Cold Chain, you can monitor the temperature in a refrigerated trailer using radio frequency (RF) technology.

xTrack Cold Chain management is designed primarily to monitor precise temperatures of refrigerated cargo. Using the latest wireless technology, cold chain monitoring allows businesses to constantly check the temperature of their cargo and react accordingly if temperature exceeds a required level.
In the past, whole loads could be ruined if the carrier was unaware of a change in temperature. Now, thanks to xTrack Cold Chain management, customers can monitor their cargo through a web-based interface which can be accessed online.
Under EU regulation EN 12830:1999, cold chain monitoring of the exact temperature of refrigerated goods is required throughout the delivery process. xTrack Cold Chain management has been developed specifically for this purpose.
Cold chain monitoring sensors in the refrigerated trailer send precise temperature information to the xTrack Vehicle black box in the tractor unit every 5 minutes.
This device then sends back temperature data as well as the vehicles precise location to web based servers which customers can access through the web interface.
Drivers can then be notified if temperatures move beyond certain thresholds so immediate action can be taken, avoiding the potential spoilage of an entire load.
The web based interface enables customers to monitor and report on the information and can be accessed from the customer portal on the Genesis website.
