The more than $35 billion annual loss of perishable food and pharmaceutical supplies may be partly prevented with real-time alerts to the shippers and those actually hualing the refrigerated goods. Instead of discovering the loss after the fact, as if often the case with traditional end-of-trip recorders, AVANTE Cold Chain Monitoring Solution and Services shifts the paradigm by providing real time information to  both the shippers and transportation companies.

  • Active RFID-based temperature and shock sensor tags (ZONER-CTID and ZONER-ASID) monitor the conditions inside the refrigerated containers and at the refrigerated goods.
  • Normal temperature and conditions will be reported periodically (default is every hour) via the RELAYER-CTCR located outside the refrigerated box.
  • Exceptions are reported directly to the shipping and receiving parties via GPRS or SATCOM along with the real-time location provided by the embedded GPS.
  • Alerts are also provided to the onsite drivers or staff with display and buzzer sounds on RELAYER-CTCR reader for immediate action.
  • Staff and driver badges are associated with the events to provide additional visibility and accountability.
  • Web-based real-time reporting and alerts with role-based access management of the supply chain data means reduced training for transportation workers. 

  

BENEFITS OF THE AVANTE COLD CHAIN LOGISTICS MONITORING SOLUTION AND SERVICES FOR REFRIGERATED CONTAINER TRANSPORTATION & REFRIGERATED STORAGE 
The AVANTE cold chain monitoring solution represents a paradigm shift from accounting and attribution after a loss to preventive and corrective actions that save products. This change may even mean life or death whenever critical vaccines and medications are involved.
 
  1. Real-time alerts via phone/text messaging and real-time web-based reporting of any exceptions and suggestions for possible corrective actions by onsite drivers or staff for possible prevention of spoilage.    
  2. 24/7 end-to-end visibility of conditions and location of valuable perishable goods via web-based data center with role-based access management.    
    .
  3. Real-Time Cold-Chain Visibility includes: 
    • During shipping and transportation.
    • Fixed site storage conditions.
    • True temperature by directly embedding sensors with the products rather than at the door.
    • Temperature accuracy to 0.5°C.
    • Temperature distribution of the refrigerated goods with multiple ZONER tags to allow corrective actions due to airflow inbalance.
    • Optional shock data and exceptions in all three directions.
    • Optional humidity conditions.
    • Whenever, whereever, and for how long the reefer trailer or reefer container is open. 
    • Real-time driver location.
    • What are the reefer conditions and possible maintenance and repair requirements.
    • Real-time location of the refrigerated container or trailer. 
    • Intrusion detection and real-time alerts from the refrigerated container and trailer box.
  

AUTOMATIC DATA CAPTURING AND REPORTING OF REEFER CONTAINERS AND REEFER TRAILERS REDUCES HUMAN AND SYSTEM ERRORS:

Refrigerated containers and trucks equipped with the AVANTE active RFID ZONER-RELAYER system. This provides real-time temperature and other data inside the containers and boxes.

  • ZONER-PBID tags are embedded with the refrigerated goods for direct and true measurement of temperature and other conditions. 
  • Multiple ZONER-CTID and ZONER-ASID tags inside may be used to provide a profile of temperature uniformity.
  • Every opening of the box and container is automatically reported. Data includes the duration, temperature excursion effects, and staff responsible for the event. This is a unique and patent-pending innovation of AVANTE RFID technology.
  • Real-time reporting of true refrigerated goods temperature and exceptions due to airflow problems within the reefer containers allow corrective actions by the onsite driver and other responsible staff.

 

 

End-to-End Real-Time Visibility Changes the Paradigm of Cold Chain Management:

The AVANTE Cold Chain Management Solution is part of the overall AVANTE supply chain security management solution. The return on investment may be immediate depending on the values of the products being shipped:

  • Real-time visibility of the location and condition of the goods help efficiency.
  • Real-time alerts to both the shipper and the onsite personnel help to provide timely corrective actions.
