India’s Cold Chain Crisis — Why Temperature Monitoring Matters
India loses approximately Rs. 92,000 crore worth of perishable goods annually due to cold chain failures. From pharmaceuticals and dairy products to frozen foods and fresh produce — temperature deviations during transit can render entire shipments worthless.
For fleet operators transporting temperature-sensitive cargo, a GPS-integrated temperature sensor is a business necessity. At EcoCosmo GPS, we offer advanced temperature monitoring integrated with our GPS tracking platform.
How GPS Temperature Sensors Work
1. Wireless Temperature Probes
High-precision BLE probes installed in the cargo compartment measure temperature every 30 seconds:
- Range: -40°C to +125°C
- Accuracy: ±0.5°C (pharmaceutical-grade)
- Battery life: Up to 3 years
- IP67 waterproof housing
- Multiple probes per vehicle for multi-zone monitoring
2. GPS Tracker Integration
Fuel sensor connects to the GPS tracker, transmitting temperature data to the cloud every 30 seconds alongside location data.
3. Cloud Platform with Real-Time Alerts
View temperature data overlaid on GPS maps. Set custom thresholds and receive instant alerts via app, SMS, or email.
Key Features
Custom Temperature Thresholds
- Frozen foods: -18°C to -25°C
- Dairy and fresh produce: 2°C to 8°C
- Pharmaceuticals: 2°C to 8°C (WHO guidelines)
- Vaccines: 2°C to 8°C (strict compliance)
- Flowers and bakery: 4°C to 12°C
Instant Breach Alerts
