Remote temperature control via digital communications systems

Temperature controlled products and services are an important part of many industries these days whether you are monitoring the temperature of items that are already on the road or stored in a warehouse or other facility.

It can be difficult to monitor this activity remotely - for vehicles that are on the road it is sometimes necessary to have an alert system installed in the cabin of the vehicle - but what if the system is unmanned or the driver is unable to react to a temperature change?

Similarly with warehouses and storage, it is unlikely the location will be manned at all times, but if the temperature control was to fail how would anyone know? Specifically if the power was cut it is likely that the failure won't be noticed until the site is manned again and it might be too late to save any stock.

There are several systems that can assist with this type of challenge - the use of trackers with temperature monitoring equipment can help workers to remotely monitor the state of a consignment whilst in transit.

For those looking for a solution to ensuring the power is on at all times you could purchase a GSM power switch that will alert you if the power is cut.

Using a sim card pre-installed to the system you and 4 colleagues can be immediately alerted if the power is cut to your equipment, saving valuable time and money before any stock is lost.
