Cold Chain Fleet: Temperature-Proof Logistics
Temperature, humidity, doors and reefer health — tracked with video evidence from dock to delivery.
Multi-Zone Temperature & Humidity Watch
The pallet in the back row is always the first to know the seal broke.
Probes where the risk is
Temperature probes are wired through the SOHANIoT sensor hub into the vehicle telematics unit — no separate gateway to mount or power.
Coverage is zoned per load: front, middle and rear, or separate chambers on multi-temp trucks, with probe inputs per vehicle.
Humidity on the same timeline
Humidity readings run beside temperature for produce, flowers and moisture-sensitive pharmaceuticals.
One timeline, one record — no stitching data from two systems.
Continuous logging, network or not
Readings are stored on the edge unit at intervals, even in tunnels and dead zones.
Data syncs to the SOHANIoT Cloud Platform when signal returns, so the record has no gaps to explain to an auditor.
Calibration managed as a fleet process
Probe calibration reminders and offset settings are handled from the cloud console.
A probe that drifts gets caught by the system, not by a rejected shipment.
Breach Alerts with Video Evidence
An out-of-range alarm is only as good as the evidence behind it.
Alerts that carry proof
When temperature leaves the set band, the system captures a photo or video frame at that moment.
The breach record shows the reading, the time, the location and what the cargo area looked like — together.
Escalation until someone acts
Alerts follow a configurable chain: driver first, then dispatcher, then the compliance manager.
If the first person does not respond, the next one is notified automatically.
Location context for every breach
Geofences show whether the event happened at a customer dock, on the road or at rest.
A dock-door breach and a roadside equipment failure are handled differently from the first minute.
One record of who was told and when
Every alert logs its own notification history.
When a claim arrives later, the answer to "who knew what, when" is already written.
Door & Loading Correlation
Most temperature mysteries are solved by the door log.
Door events on the timeline
Door sensors log every open and close, with duration attached to the trip timeline.
The driver does not have to remember — the truck records it.
Loading events tell the rest of the story
Door activity is matched against stops, dock geofences and driver identity.
You can tell an unloading stop from a door left ajar during a break.
The "who left it open" question
Driver IDs ride on every event.
Retraining and coaching point at a behavior, not at a whole crew.
Habit reports, not just incidents
Recurring long-open patterns are summarized per driver and per route.
Small habits get corrected before they become a temperature claim.
Reefer Health & Duty-Cycle Monitoring
A reefer that cycles all night is a breakdown that has not happened yet.
Duty cycle and run hours, trended
Compressor runtime against driving time is tracked for every unit.
A unit working harder every week shows up in the trend before it fails mid-route.
Recovery time tells the truth
The system watches how fast temperature recovers after a door event.
Slow recovery is the first sign of a refrigerant or airflow problem.
Service flags instead of roadside surprises
Abnormal patterns raise a "check before next trip" note for the workshop.
Maintenance is scheduled in the yard, not discovered at a loading dock.
Power and runtime aligned
Optional wired inputs align reefer power status with the vehicle timeline.
A unit that lost power and a driver who did not notice become a documented event.
Compliance & Audit-Ready Trip Logs
Auditors do not want promises — they want per-trip timelines they cannot argue with.
One export per trip
Temperature traces, breach events, door events and driver notes export as a single document.
PDF and CSV options cover both human review and system-to-system handover.
Records that resist editing
The log is append-only; changes require permission and leave their own trail.
Audit credibility comes from the record's structure, not from a signature.
Built for food and pharma rules
The reporting structure supports HACCP-style food-safety documentation and GDP-style traceability for pharmaceuticals.
The exact standard set for each market is — confirm with your compliance team.
Retention you set
Storage windows are configured per fleet to match local regulations.
Old data expires on your terms, not on a default you never checked.
TMS/WMS Integration via Open API
Your TMS knows where the truck is — now let it know how cold the cargo is.
API-first hand-off
Trip telemetry, temperature events and door logs push into your TMS or WMS over documented APIs.
Your dispatch screen can show cargo condition next to location without a second login.
Proof of delivery with temperature attached
Delivery records can carry the final temperature read and a clean-chain certificate.
The paperwork a customer signs matches the data their quality team will ask for.
Batch and real-time, your choice
Webhooks for live events, batch sync for nightly reconciliation.
Integration matches how each system prefers to talk.
White-label for integrators
Run the SOHANIoT Cloud Platform under your own brand for your customers.
Your value is the solution; ours is the hardware, sensors and data plumbing.
Hardware Built for Washdown & Vibration
The real stress test is the 6 a.m. high-pressure washdown, every single day.
Sealed and rated for the wash bay
Housings and connectors are rated for high-pressure cleaning — IP as standard.
Water that kills consumer gear is a Tuesday for this hardware.
Wiring rated for cold and flex
Cable harnesses are chosen for low-temperature flexibility and repeated opening of the reefer door.
Cold-soaked cables do not become the weak link mid-winter.
Mounted to stay put
Cameras, sensors and the recorder use vibration-tolerant mounts designed for reefer trucks.
Readings and images stay stable on washboard roads, not just test tracks.
One power standard for truck and reefer
The telematics unit handles the 12/24 V systems found across the cold chain fleet.
Installation is one box, one harness — no second power supply to fail.
Why cold chain fleets choose SOHANIoT
Factory-direct hardware, open integration and a size that fits the fleet.
Manufactured and tested in-house
The recorders, cameras and sensor hub are built and validated in our own facility.
Certified industrial-grade hardware is the standard, not a premium option.
Edge AI plus an open cloud
Sensing and alerts run on the vehicle; the SOHANIoT Cloud Platform manages the fleet.
APIs stay open for the TMS, WMS and compliance systems you already run.
Scenario-fit customization
Start with temperature watch on one route, add door correlation and audit exports later.
Cold chain needs change with every contract — the hardware stack should not.
