About The Customer

The Challenge

Difficult to monitor the cold storage condition
Hard to send out alarm/report for the temperature of perishable products timely

The Solution

The convergence of RFID, RFID reader and UR72 industrial cellular router will propose a complete wireless coverage for cold chain industry. The RFID gathers data and transmit it to the RFID reader via Bluetooth connection at first. Supporting Transparent/Modbus Gateway and featuring communication modules such as Wi-Fi and 3G/4G allow UR72 to transmit parameters that receives from RFID reader to the management system in real-time without deploying any wiring.

Further to this, mobility and redundancy via dual SIM functions will drop off the possibilities of link failure and ensure the seamless M2M communications. And real-time alert through SMS and Email allows operators to take actions timely so as to minimize loss and maximize highly possible uptime. In this way, the networking technology brings terrific value to businesses and enhanced enterprises’ profitability. Also, it enhances capabilities of monitoring cold storage equipment’s temperature, energy consumption, and other parameters.
