Frozen seafood export
Reefer monitoring Ningbo–Rotterdam with predictive alerts and buyer-facing logs.
Logistics
A cold chain that predicts the breach before the thermometer does.
Cold-chain intelligence for perishable and pharmaceutical freight: live temperature, humidity and door events from every container and reefer truck, AI that forecasts excursions from route and weather, and automatic documentation for every shipment.
A moment with ColdLine
A reefer leaves Ningbo with 2,000 cartons of frozen seafood. Eleven days later, off Sri Lanka, the model forecasts a compressor fault twelve hours before the set-point drifts; the carrier is told which container, which plug and which port to intervene at. The buyer sees a green chain and a complete temperature log at Rotterdam.
The problem it removes
Reefers fail quietly at sea. Documentation is assembled by hand from four systems and still gets rejected at customs.
Capability 1
Temperature, humidity, door, shock, light and location from pallets, containers and trucks via LTE/satellite gateways.
Capability 2
Compressor behaviour, ambient forecast, route and port dwell times feed a model that predicts drift hours ahead.
Capability 3
Alerts carry the action: which container, which carrier contact, which port has reefer technicians on shift.
Capability 4
Temperature logs, chain-of-custody and deviation reports generated per shipment in the format the buyer, the auditor or customs needs.
Capability 5
Remaining shelf life computed from the actual thermal history, so cargo is routed to the right market on arrival.
06 / 06Capability 6
A shareable live link per shipment, with the same data the carrier sees, built into Outsource China order tracking.
How it works
Operations
Live status, detections with the clip or image that triggered them, who was notified and what happened next. Per room, per car, per gate, per site.

Questions
Pallet loggers are reusable and tracked; a return programme runs through the receiving warehouse. Single-use loggers are available for one-way lanes.
Yes, with your consent. Alerts can go to the carrier's reefer desk with the container number and the recommended action.
It complements it. Carrier data is one input; your pallet-level sensors and the forecasting model are what make the alert early and specific.
