Cold chain monitoring: software that protects the load
In cold chain, the software's job is not reporting a failure. It's raising an alarm early enough that the load can still be saved.
Excursion rules, not thresholds
Product tolerance is a function of temperature and duration. Encode mean kinetic temperature or cumulative exposure rules rather than a single trip point.
Alert before the limit
Predict trajectory from the last several readings and alert on projected breach, giving the driver time to act on reefer settings or door discipline.
Build the evidence pack
Continuous readings, sensor calibration records, and excursion handling notes need to export as one document set for claims and regulatory review.
