Fish Cold Chain Monitoring
GPS-enabled refrigerated logistics monitoring platform.
Overview
GPS-enabled refrigerated logistics monitoring platform.
- Cold Chain Logistics
- Seafood Distribution
- Fleet Management
Problem Statement
Seafood quality and safety depend on an unbroken cold chain, but fleet operators often lack real-time visibility into temperature, humidity and equipment status across vehicles in transit.
Challenges
- Detecting temperature excursions before cargo is compromised
- Tracking vehicle location, door status and compressor health in real time
- Surfacing actionable alerts to drivers and fleet managers simultaneously
Solution
Each refrigerated vehicle is fitted with GPS tracking and sensors for temperature, humidity, door status, battery, power and compressor status. A fleet dashboard provides route analytics, alarm notifications and predictive maintenance insights, with optional cargo and driver cameras.

Sensor Details
Per-vehicle monitoring of temperature, humidity, door open/close status, battery level, power state and compressor status, alongside continuous GPS location tracking.
Automation Logic
Threshold-based alarm notifications trigger when temperature, humidity or equipment status deviate from safe cold-chain ranges, with predictive maintenance flags based on compressor behaviour trends.
AI Features
- Predictive Maintenance
- Route Analytics
Benefits
- Reduced spoilage and cold-chain breaches
- Real-time fleet visibility for dispatch and operations
- Predictive maintenance reduces unplanned downtime
- Stronger compliance and traceability records
Future Scope
Integration with warehouse and retail cold-storage systems for end-to-end traceability, and automated insurance/compliance reporting.
