Monitoring high value cargo

TEMS – Transport Environment Monitoring System is a highly advanced platform protocol for monitoring environmentally sensitive and valuable shipments. In addition to current location TEMS processes physical data of the surrounding environment including Temperature, Humidity, Air pressure, Light intensity, 3D orientation, and Free falls / Impacts. Measured values are transmitted in real-time to servers where users can view them in interactive graphs, tables, and reports. Sophisticated alerts enable shippers to react immediately to anomalies of predefined parameter settings. When each transport is finished, the system compiles a summary report for transport period of time.

Use of TEMS

Immediate on-line overview of a shipment’s conditions and exact location

Freight forwarder’s monitoring shipments with TEMS will raise their level of customer overall service awareness by providing them with an online real-time overview of the current status of their shipments. At the same time, they have active alerts and reports from each transport so they can resolve any questions of possible damage of cargo goods during transport.

Transport protection of expensive, fragile and sensitive shipments

Transport Environment Monitoring System (TEMS) is an advanced solution for transporting expensive, fragile equipment and other environmentally sensitive cargo, for which constant control and alerts of environmental changes is required – typically food, medicine, electronics, human organs, chemicals or live animals.

Monitoring transportation of perishable fresh foods, cargo, or sensitive goods

When a refrigeration / heating failure occurs during transport of sensitive perishable cargo, TEMS can facilitate saving the load by alerting the driver or whoever can solve the situation. In such cases also summary reports are very important because they do not allow receiving company which mishandles cargo to declare that goods were spoiled when they arrived.

Notification of unauthorized opening of the shipment

TEMS additionally provides information of unauthorized parcel opening during transport. This is possible with the light sensor which is part of the EMX probe. Since freight forwarders started to use TEMS, they have realized a significant drop in the amount of goods lost, stolen, or spoiled during transport.

TEMS Hardware

A key component of TEMS is the hardware. For monitoring and recording physical conditions during transport, we developed a special probe which collects data from surrounding environment and converts them to digital form. The Probe which is connected to GPS tracker has sufficient battery power when shipments are traveling short distances. For longer duration shipments the SmartBox packs all together the probe, GPS tracker and an additional battery in one compact magnetic waterproof box.

EMX probe

We developed the unique EMX probe specifically with integration into TEMS in mind. Probe scans environmental temperature, humidity, air pressure, light intensity, impacts, 3D orientation and G-forces. Measured data is saved into probes internal cyclic buffer and periodically sent over cellular network connected GPS tracker to our servers for further processing.

SmartBox

SmartBox includes GPS tracker, EMX probe and external sensors – all in compact magnetic waterproof box. This solution is great for monitoring long duration transports. SmartBox makes it possible to have these features in on solution easy to attach to shipments.
