Mission-Critical Cargo Monitoring Systems

A pharmaceutical shipper must move a high-value batch from Amsterdam to Munich within 72 hours—any temperature deviation beyond 2 °C would render it unusable.

Quick Answer

A pharmaceutical shipper must move a high-value batch from Amsterdam to Munich within 72 hours—any temperature deviation beyond 2 °C would render it unusable.

IoT and telematics platforms address this: they capture real-time location, temperature, humidity, and vibration data, triggering instant alerts to dispatchers upon critical deviations.

These systems integrate sensors, satellite positioning, and cloud analytics to deliver end-to-end visibility for time- or value-sensitive shipments—essential in pharma, food, and high-tech logistics.
