IoT Solution for Cold Chain Vehicles

A central food factory primarily supplies standardized ingredients, including vegetables, seafood, poultry, meat, and seasonings, to users such as schools, hospitals, and enterprises. These ingredients are processed and then transported via cold chain to their destinations, ensuring rapid supply to various canteens. The factory now requires integrating cold chain vehicles into its supply chain management platform to enable real-time monitoring of temperature and location, ensuring the freshness and safety of the ingredients. In response, WideIoT provides an efficient and reliable IoT solution.

By deploying industrial data acquisition gateways in each cold chain vehicle, it is possible to connect to onboard controllers, temperature sensors, and other devices. These gateways collect real-time vehicle status, location, and temperature data, transmitting it back to the factory's supply chain management platform via 4G networks. This enables remote real-time monitoring, abnormal alarming, online management, and data querying and analysis of cold chain vehicles, providing digital support for enhancing resource allocation of personnel and materials and improving food safety assurance capabilities.

Implemented Functions

1. Remote Monitoring

Managers can use mobile devices or computers to view real-time information on the location distribution, operational status, working parameters (such as temperature, voltage, current, and driving routes), and alarm events of each cold chain vehicle.

2. Abnormal Alarming

Intelligent alarm rules can be set up to automatically notify drivers or managers via WeChat, SMS, email, etc., when abnormal data is detected. This includes important information such as the faulty equipment and the time of occurrence, facilitating quick location and action.

3. Device Management

The solution enables unified management of devices connected to the gateway, allowing managers to stay informed about the quantity, model, parameters, and logs of connected devices at any time. It also supports remote configuration, program downloading, and fault diagnosis functions, enhancing management transparency.

4. Data Analysis

Through various visual data charts, the entire cold chain logistics process can be analyzed to uate equipment performance and fault risks. This helps enterprises make scientific decisions, optimize resource allocation, improve transportation networks, and achieve efficient transportation.
