Definition & Explanation
Freight forwarders, carriers, and shippers install monitoring devices – typically data loggers and networked sensors – inside reefer containers to record temperature, humidity, air pressure, and door openings without interruption throughout the entire shipment. The resulting data proves that perishable cargo such as fresh produce, seafood, or pharmaceuticals remained within the contractually and regulatorily defined cold chain parameters. When damage occurs, these logs are key evidence in liability disputes between shipper, forwarder, and insurer. Unlike active condition control systems, pure monitoring devices do not intervene in container parameters – they measure, store, and transmit, but do not regulate.
