New TempTale GEO APX Global device transmits continuous condition and location data to Sensitech’s SensiWatch Platform
Sensitech has announced the commercial launch of TempTale GEO APX Global, a real-time location and condition monitoring solution designed to help food shippers maintain continuous visibility across ocean, road and rail journeys.
According to the group, TempTale GEO APX Global monitors temperature, humidity, light and location, and transmits data automatically, without manual downloads, to the SensiWatch Platform.
Built on 4G LTE cellular connectivity with global coverage, the device is designed to keep shippers connected as carriers phase out legacy 2G and 3G networks.
In the SensiWatch Platform, shippers can receive departure, arrival and exception alerts, along with a map-based view of shipment location and condition across their lanes.
“Food supply chains have become increasingly multimodal, and the visibility gaps between those handoffs are where product quality is most at risk,” said Ryan Pittman, product manager at Sensitech.
“TempTale GEO APX Global and the SensiWatch Platform work together to give food shippers continuous monitoring from departure through arrival, so they can act sooner — reroute a load, alert a receiver or intervene before spoilage occurs.”
The solution supports ambient, fresh and frozen products across a range of cold chain applications and is available in configurations for shorter and longer global routes, Sensitech confirmed.
The standard version supports refrigerated shipments up to 60 days and the extended version supports frozen and long-duration shipments up to 120 days.
Both offer an external probe option for shipments where core product temperature must be measured directly, such as bulk frozen loads or produce shipped in insulated packaging, it said.
