CASE STUDYIOT
Overview:
Maintaining precise temperatures during transport is critical, especially when delivering frozen and chilled fish bait for recreational fishing. To ensure product quality, minimize waste, and simplify compliance, wholesalers require reliable, real-time temperature and humidity monitoring solutions. Precision Monitoring’s OnSight IoT solution, leveraging the advanced MG5 Gateway and robust MST01 industrial temperature and humidity sensors, provides wholesalers with a dependable and efficient solution.
Challenge:
Transporting frozen and chilled fish bait poses unique logistical challenges. Temperature fluctuations—even minor ones—can degrade the product, impacting wholesaler profitability and customer satisfaction. Traditional manual monitoring methods are inefficient, error-prone, and often fail to provide timely insights, leading to costly spoilage and compromised product integrity.
The OnSight IoT Solution:
Precision Monitoring’s OnSight platform, utilizing the MG5 Gateway and MST01 industrial sensors, provides an automated, real-time monitoring solution tailored specifically to refrigerated transport needs:
MG5 Gateway:
The MG5 Gateway is a versatile IoT data-collection device designed to continuously transmit sensor data via cellular networks. Installed easily in refrigerated trucks, it collects and securely transmits data, ensuring seamless connectivity even in remote or coastal areas—ideal for recreational fishing bait distribution routes.
MST01 Sensors:
These robust, industrial-grade sensors accurately measure temperature and humidity, crucial for sensitive frozen and chilled cargo. Compact yet powerful, MST01 sensors integrate seamlessly with the MG5 Gateway, offering continuous, precise monitoring to quickly detect and alert users about any environmental changes.
Multiple Trailer Connectivity & Seamless Trailer-Swapping:
One of OnSight’s standout benefits is its seamless handling of multiple trailer configurations. Traditional GPS-based solutions require drivers to manually swap or reassign sensors each time a trailer is changed—a time-consuming, error-prone task. With the OnSight IoT solution, MST01 sensors remain permanently installed in each trailer and automatically pair with the nearest MG5 Gateway once in range. Drivers simply attach a different trailer, and OnSight instantly recognizes the sensors, streamlining trailer-swapping operations significantly.
This innovation drastically reduces driver effort, minimizes downtime, and eliminates manual errors associated with sensor reassignment. It also enhances operational flexibility, allowing transport companies to easily rotate trailers across their fleet without any additional workload, making OnSight an ideal solution for dynamic logistics environments.
Key Benefits for Logistics and transportation companies:
