# Temperature control

*Last updated: 2026-06-22*

> Unlike passive temperature monitoring, which only records readings, temperature control in logistics combines continuous measurement with active regulation of refrigeration or heating systems to maintain defined setpoint ranges throughout transport, storage, and transhipment.

Unlike passive temperature monitoring, which only records readings, temperature control in logistics combines continuous measurement with active regulation of refrigeration or heating systems to maintain defined setpoint ranges throughout transport, storage, and transhipment. Any deviation outside the permitted band is detected, flagged, and documented. For pharmaceutical and food shipments, verified temperature control serves as proof of compliance with standards such as GMP, GDP, and GSP, and is frequently a contractual prerequisite for the acceptance of goods. Modern data loggers and wireless sensors capture readings at short intervals and transmit real-time alerts to fleet management when thresholds are breached, enabling immediate corrective action and providing a complete audit trail.
