Control and monitoring of refrigerated vehicles

The most expensive part in any transportation company is fuel costs. Therefore, it is important to know the fuel costs for a particular vehicle, and in case of sharp deviations, to understand why it happened. When there are vehicles with autonomous refrigerated units in the fleet, this becomes especially important.

As a result of implementing the refrigerator control system and installing MONTRANS fuel level sensors, the fleet manager receives all the necessary data for both primary reporting and more detailed analytics.

One of the most important elements of refrigerator monitoring is the temperature sensor. The sensor measures the temperature in the range from -55 to +80°C with high accuracy - just half a degree. This information, together with navigation information, is transmitted in real time via the GSM network to the MONTRANS cloud service.

The software continuously monitors the temperature, providing extensive remote monitoring capabilities.

✓ Save cargo and avoid losses
✓ Monitor temperature online
✓ Signal changes in temperature conditions
✓ Provide reports in the form of tables and graphs, highlighting temperature minima and maxima

Alerts on temperature deviations can be sent by SMS, email and cloud service. In case of disputes, temperature reports on loading and unloading and transportation will help the vehicle owner to prove to the customer that the goods were transported in the proper temperature regime.

The temperature in the isothermal chamber can be monitored simultaneously by the driver, dispatcher and company manager. If agreed, the customer can also monitor compliance with the rules of cargo transportation.
