Cold Chain Logistical Services
Cold Chain Logistical Services provide full visibility into perishable
export shipments. So you can understand the real impact of time and temperature
on your products.
Sensitech combines electronic monitoring with data management and statistical
analysis to effectively and efficiently manage your cold chain, giving
you the information necessary to anticipate issues that may arise. Once
identified, corrective action can be taken proactively rather than waiting
for the more expensive reactive actions.
Good temperature management throughout the supply chain is critical
to ensuring the quality of perishables. We recognize it is more difficult
to accomplish this in complex supply chains like exports and it affects
product quality, brand recognition and profits. As a supplier, the process
of managing cold chain becomes challenging once a commodity leaves your
packinghouse – transportation by truck, rail, or vessel can result
in loss of quality based on both time and temperature.

How it works
Data Collection
TempTale‚ monitors are placed on pallets bound for export to supported
destination locations. Packinghouse personnel mark the boxes and pallets
containing the temperature monitoring devices.
Data Management
Upon arrival at each destination (shipping port and/or destination port),
the time and temperature data collected during each supply chain segment
is downloaded from the TempTale monitor. If the shipment has not reached
its final destination, the TempTale is re-started and re-packed. Sensitech’s
secure, web-based data repository stores the individual trip data along
with other important trip attributes – commodity type, temperature
parameters, carrier information. Individual trip records are accessible
via Internet by authorized personnel for transactional-based receiving
decisions; record-level sorts and searches are also available.
Data Analysis & Reporting
Segment and trip data is aggregated for cold chain analysis. Reports
are prepared evaluating performance in multiple ways – by supplier,
receiver, carrier, product type or trip. Graphical reports are distributed
to pre-determined recipients on a monthly basis. A dedicated Program
Manager interprets the information, pinpoints areas of concern, recommends
and prioritizes process improvements.
