Logistics & Cold-Chain Monitoring

Keeping It Cool: How Emma Empowers Trailer Tracking for Cold Chain Success

Each trailer carries a payload worth millions, not just in monetary value, but in the lives it has the potential to save.

Imagine a logistics company responsible for transporting vaccines across a sprawling network of distribution centres. For this company, every mile is a challenge. GPS tracking is essential to ensure timely delivery, but temperature monitoring is equally critical to maintain the integrity of the cargo.

The challenge: a high-stakes journey

  • Ensuring consistent temperature monitoring during long trips
  • Real-time GPS tracking to stay on top of deliveries
  • Installing new systems without taking their fleet offline

Emma: the seamless answer

Emma's plug-and-play design meant the team could install trackers on each trailer without disrupting operations. No downtime. No complicated systems. Just effortless integration that started providing data within minutes. With critical sensors for temperature, light, shock and humidity, Emma became their eyes and ears on the road.

Precision and control on the road

Emma's GPS functionality provided pinpoint tracking, with accuracy up to +/- 10 metres. That meant more than just knowing where their trailers were: it meant optimizing routes, ensuring faster deliveries and providing reliable ETAs to their clients.

On one occasion, Emma proved invaluable when a trailer's cooling system malfunctioned mid-route. The team received a temperature alert, pinpointed the trailer's location and directed it to the nearest service station, all within minutes. The shipment was saved, and the client's trust remained intact.

Built for the long haul

Another advantage was Emma's two-year battery life, eliminating the need for frequent recharges. The rugged, waterproof design ensured it could endure tough conditions, from icy highways to humid storage docks. Its construction from recycled ocean plastics resonated with the company's mission to reduce its carbon footprint.

Today, this customer reports fewer delays, higher compliance rates and a significant reduction in cargo loss. Emma doesn't just track trailers, it helps businesses thrive.
