For many businesses, cold chain monitoring is an extremely demanding solution for their logistics. The goal is to track perishable products, edibles, and food items with assured freshness and palatability as well as e.g. organ and blood transports. The temperature sensor plays a major part in delivering this solution to the market. In this webinar, we showcase the solution using Simple Hardware devices and IO Frog platform. Host: Pavel Sodomka, CEO at Simple Hardware

1. Cold chain monitoring solution using
SimplePack 4.0/ Simple Industry and
IO Frog platform.

2. About this webinar

4. Current offer for ambient temperature
All Simple Hardware products are able to measure and report temperature measured
at MCU.
It is not calibrated and precision is around 2°C.
It is ok as an antifreeze warning, a warning when the room temperature is out of
normal etc.
No additional cost.
All temperature measuring modes are supported.

5. Current offer for precise temperature

10. Embedded
Some customers want to incorporate our platform right into their solutions
We are able to deliver - project based- the device without cases and with custom HW
configuration.

11. Firmware
Important is to understand why…
What should trigger measurement, what should trigger recording of it, what should
trigger sending of data, what redundancy/reliability do I need
We support 3 basic modes that can be combined and redundancy can be switched on:
1. Report predefined temperature change
2. Report predefined threshold overstepping
3. Measure in predefined time intervals, aggregate and report periodically

12. Firmware
1. Report temperature change
Mode name - Temperature change alert
This is useful if you want e.g. to measure room temperature. You dont care if the
temperature is 25°C all the time and fluctuates by 1,5°C. You just need to know
when the temperature changes. So you can measure e.g. each minute and few
messages are triggered when changing from night to day temperatures end vice
versa.
You can also run this mode with redundant messages

13. Firmware
2. Report predefined threshold overstepping
Mode name - Temperature threshold alert
This is useful if you want e.g. to measure fridge. You are only interested if the
temperature breaks the boundary. You can setup 3 different thresholds.
You can also run this mode with redundant messages

14. Firmware
3. Measure in predefined time intervals, aggregate and report periodically
Mode name: Periodic alert
This is useful if because of regulatory requirements you need to measure and report
temperature in periodic time intervals.
So e.g. you can measures each 20 seconds (for other watchdogs to report immediately),
record each 5 minutes, send a message each 15 minutes with last 3 temp recordings.
Plus you can report past 2 messages, so if messages get lost, the IoT platform will
reconstruct all the data.
All the parameters are configurable via downlinks.
