Solution

VT310 telematics device monitoring temperature in a cold chain logistics vehicle for reliable transport

The intelligent cold chain logistics solution enables real-time data collection and monitoring of refrigeration equipment. It uploads location, temperature, operation status, fuel consumption, etc. to the cloud, and sends alerts for anomalies, allowing prompt troubleshooting and thus a safe storage environment for goods.

The solution comprises the refrigeration system, the VT310 telematics gateway, refrigeration unit generator set, and cloud platform. The VT310 connects to various sensors (temperature, humidity, fuel level, door magnetic) via RS485 and the refrigeration system controller via RS232. It enables control commands for the refrigeration unit, provides real-time GPS location, and features automatic sleep mode when the device is stationary and the refrigeration unit is inactive, with wake-up capability. This versatile solution accommodates both train and road transportation scenarios.
