Breaking Through Cold Storage Monitoring Barriers

May 7, 2023

Challenge

A prominent distributor specializing in top-tier food brands faces the unique operational challenge of wanting to monitor their products in real-time but can't achieve this because their cold storage facilities are situated in an area where mobile network access is severely limited and most data loggers are reliant on mobile networks

Approach

To overcome this challenge, this client reached out to us at Figorr to harness the power of our LoRa technology. LoRa is a wireless communication technology that allows data transmission through radio waves. This technology is known for its long-range capabilities, low power consumption, and reliability.

Our LoRa temperature monitoring sensor was successfully installed within the cold storage rooms. These real-time monitoring sensors captured temperature and humidity data and transmitted it through the air using radio waves. The data is received by a gateway connected to a network server located outside the cold storage facilities.


How it Works:

Data Transmission: The temperature and humidity data collected by the sensors were transmitted via radio waves. 

Gateway Connection: A gateway device was strategically positioned to receive the radio wave transmissions and connect to the client's network server.

Data Processing: The network server processed the received data, ensuring accuracy and reliability.

Alert System: The processed data was then sent to the appropriate application server, which enabled the client to access the data in real time and receive immediate excursion alerts.

Benefits 

The implementation of the LoRa temperature monitoring solution yielded several key benefits for Our client and they include the following:

1. Real-Time Monitoring: The client gained the ability to monitor temperature and humidity in real-time, ensuring that their products consistently stayed within the required thresholds.

2. Proactive Actions: The system's excursion alerts empowered the client to take proactive actions to prevent losses. They could respond swiftly to any deviations from the desired conditions, reducing the risk of asset loss.

3. Supply Chain Efficiency: Improved temperature monitoring translated into enhanced supply chain visibility, ensuring that product quality was maintained throughout the distribution process.

4. Product Safety: By consistently maintaining the quality and safety of their temperature-sensitive food products, the client significantly improved product safety and customer satisfaction.

5. Cost Savings: Preventing losses due to temperature deviations led to cost savings, making the implementation of Figorr's solution a sound investment for the client.

Achieved Result

With the help of our real-time monitoring technology [LoRa Data Loggers], our client achieved real-time monitoring, proactive alerts, and substantial benefits in terms of cost savings, product safety, and supply chain efficiency and also successfully maintained the quality and integrity of their temperature-sensitive products, thereby positioning themselves for continued success in the distribution of premium food brands across Nigeria. To enhance your cold storage system monitoring, even in remote areas with limited mobile network access, uncover the power of our LoRa solution Today!
