Temperature monitoring solutions for the Asia Pacific cold chain

A total management solution to remotely monitor and report on the temperature validity

and the movement of products from farm to fork

Any transport, logistics or manufacturing organisation planning to be HACCP compliant can now rely on a respected and proven designer and manufacturer of one of the world’s most advanced transport monitoring and tracking systems.

Euroscan instruments are made in Germany and are renowned for their durability and advanced electronics design. Their monitoring systems are tracking refrigerated cargoes around the globe for major food companies. Euroscan is a market leader in Europe and its technology maintains vigil over 60% of all McDonald’s food despatched globally.

Euroscan Asia Pacific, based in Queensland, is an Australian company which specialises in transport refrigeration. It has the vital engineering staff and research and technical support infrastructure to service the Asia Pacific region.

Euroscan has solutions for temperature recording and tracking for refrigerated trucks, trailers and cold rooms in any location.

The condition of refrigeration units on trucks and in cold storage facilities can also be monitored and will alert operators of maintenance issues.

There’s a Euroscan solution for any size fleet – one truck or a hundred.

A company can begin with a basic entry level unit. This stand-alone unit produces a print out confirmation of cargo temperatures at each delivery point as well as journey, event and historical reports.

The unit can be augmented and upgraded to a web based reporting system, providing immediate real time reports on all significant events, with a clear summary of refrigeration performance and temperature condition of the cargo.

The Euroscan recorder can be connected to any make of refrigerated truck and can monitor any mobile refrigeration unit or cold room. The collected data can be shared with third party providers, with full integration into existing office management systems.

It doesn’t matter what sort of temperature sensitive products your company handles, the Euroscan temperature monitoring solution can help all sections of the cold chain to manage and identify any potential issues

Euroscan’s RX/TX temperature recorders feature an integrated printer. A printed temperature report is proof of temperature integrity which begins at the beginning of the transport pre-cooling phase.

Euroscan temperature recorders have six analogous inputs to which temperature sensors can be connected.

Temperature data from stationary refrigerators and door contacts can also be connected to the Euroscan devices.

For every Euroscan recorder, a GPRS/GPS modem with antenna is an added option. This is capable of delivering total remote management and remote refrigeration operation as well as reporting of the entire cold chain process.

All data is transmitted to Euroweb and comprehensively processed. A range of management reports can be retrieved at any time, including journey information, load data, load structure, refrigerator data, temperature data, events and alarms .

Is the transport refrigeration unit or the cold room delivering the correct temperatures for the goods being carried?

Is the transport where it is supposed to be, and is it on time?

If deliveries are being made, are rear or side doors being left open for unnecessarily long periods, resulting in loss of sub-zero temperatures requiring excess power or fuel consumption?

When the goods are delivered, does the driver need to waste time waiting for a temperature sample to be taken by the receiver?

On long runs, how does the driver know the temperatures are being maintained at constant levels?

In the event of refrigeration failure away from home base, is there an emergency repair strategy in place which is triggered automatically?

Will the goods arrive at the destination in pristine condition and, if not, what impact will a failed delivery have on the business and on future contracts?

see where all transports are in real time

check on vehicle speed and direction, and whether it is stationary or moving

look up historical temperature data in columns or on graphs

check if the doors have been open as long and as often as expected

analyse historical temperatures

ensure that pre-cooling before loading has reached the required temperature in the transport

configure alarms to send automatic alerts to refrigeration technicians or other repair specialists

generate reports with arrival times and temperature conditions at the load destination

satisfy the most fastidious client with data reports that track temperatures in all transport compartments at all stages of the journey (including transport zone pre-cooling) via the online Euroscan web based cold chain management solution

provide immediate proof of correct temperature during transport on a delivery ticket printed from the transport dash, cutting waiting time to a minimum.

Those responsible for storing and moving refrigerated goods at controlled temperatures face these issues every day:

The ultimate Euroscan solution provides an advanced level of reporting which allows supervisors to:

Food safety accreditation standards in the Asia-Pacific region are based on HACCP – Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point – and are widely adopted as the only recognised endorsement of best practice in the carriage and storage of

foods, pharmaceuticals, flowers, animals, electronics, chemicals and any other temperature sensitive product.

With GPS tracking, a transport manager can provide clients with accurate pickup or delivery times, or divert trucks to other tasks, with minimum time loss.
