About the Customer
A trucking company specializing in cold chain transportation for food and industrial clients. With varying temperature requirements per shipment, they needed a solution that ensured real-time visibility, quick access to data, and compliance across all routes.
Key Customer Challenges
- Monitor multiple loggers simultaneously in real time
- Ensure accurate, reliable environmental data for compliance and traceability
- Detect deviations early to prevent product spoilage and losses
- Support diverse cold chain requirements without adding complexity
Solution Implementation
The company deployed Fourtec’s BluLite Bluetooth Low Energy data loggers with the new Wireless Overview feature in the FourtecLite app.
New Feature: Wireless Overview in FourtecLite
Now available in the FourtecLite app, the Wireless Overview screen offers a streamlined interface for real-time monitoring of multiple wireless loggers.
Key capabilities:
- Real-time display of temperature and humidity data
- Centralized view of all BluLite BLE and WiFi loggers
- Customizable logger arrangement for prioritized monitoring
In Practice:
- Several BluLite units were placed in key cargo locations during loading
- Drivers and receivers viewed all in-range loggers on one screen with live updates
- Predefined logger names, measurement ranges, and alarm thresholds ensured fast identification of any issue
- At checkpoints, the Boomerang feature automatically emailed PDF reports to QA and compliance teams
Measurable Results
- Real-time multi-logger visibility with no added infrastructure
- Faster response to environmental deviations
- Reduced product loss and financial risk
- Automated, audit-ready documentation for regulatory needs
- Enhanced customer trust in cold chain integrity
