Real time monitoring for durian transportation

As durian exports continue to grow, more ocean carriers are shipping this product across the globe while maintaining quality standards. Temperature fluctuations within refrigerated containers are a key consideration in transporting fresh fruit by sea, as they affect the quality of the fruit until it reaches the consignee and the end consumer. Fresh fruits can generally be kept fresh for up to 20 days at a controlled temperature between 2 and 15 degrees Celsius, depending on the variety. It is more challenging to transport durian by sea than other fruits due to its high exothermic reaction. To ensure optimal conditions for durian during transportation, refrigerated containers with good ventilation are essential. The temperature should be set at 13-15 degrees Celsius, and the ventilation mode should be set at 15-20% to release the heat inside the reefer container to the outside.

Due to the increased demand for durian transportation during the summer months, ocean carriers must ensure the availability of refrigerated containers to meet customer requirements. It is essential that shipping lines have reefers ready for pre-loading when transporting highly exothermic, reactive fruits such as durian. It is imperative that the temperature be set to the optimal level prior to loading the cargo into the container. Additionally, temperature loggers that can be monitored in real time are crucial. In the event of a temperature change, the relevant personnel will be promptly notified via SMS and email, allowing them to take immediate action to prevent any damage.

Fresh Tracker 10 is a 4G data logger designed for real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity, location, light, and vibration in cold chain transportation. The device employs a built-in 4G SIM card that transmits data to the cloud over a 4G network, allowing users to remotely access and manage measurements in real-time from any location worldwide via a cloud platform and mobile application. The device is equipped with real-time SMS and email alerts, which are triggered when any reading exceeds the preset threshold. Furthermore, the 4G temperature data logger offers users the ability to view its operating status locally via the LCD display and download PDF/CSV reports via the USB connection.
