Shipment Monitoring

The Xsense® Shipment Monitoring module is a robust solution for monitoring conditions of perishables capable of handling a wide variety of scenarios.  Xsense® technology has been used to monitor shipments by air, sea, rail, and road.  Scenarios covered include international and intranational shipments, short-distance (last mile), and shipments with 3rd parties.

Typical goods monitored include: fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy, chocolate, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, frozen items, pharmaceuticals, greens including cannabis and flowers, bio-solutions, and biological-products like blood.

How It Works

  • Dataloggers are placed within (HiTag™), on top of (cellular real-time), or on (HiTags™, BLE, or USB) the perishables.
  • Dataloggers are associated with the items to be monitored.
  • A shipment is defined in Xsense® Cloud.
  • When real-time readings are available, interested parties are alerted to issues in real-time. When real-time readings are not available, users are alerted to issues as soon as the readings are available.
  • As the goods arrive at the intermediary or final destination (such as a DC, warehouse, or port) interested users are automatically notified about the progress of their shipments.

What it Solves

  • Monitoring of environmental conditions of in-transit shipments
  • Monitoring of own and third-party carriers
  • Traceability of shipments and monitored items
  • Reliable reporting of datalogger results
  • Filing of insurance claims

Features

  • Wireless technology with automatic reading upload.
  • Measurement of environmental conditions such as temperature and relative humidity.
  • Wireless easurement of internal cargo temperature.
  • Readings cannot be withheld by the receiver; results are always visible to both shipper and receiver.
  • Journey progress notifications sent to both shipper and receiver
  • Reading updates are available with HiTag™ dataloggers that encounter Xsense® gateways at strategic waypoints, such as ports, DCs, terminals, and airports, with real-time readings while at those locations.
  • Reading updates are available in real-time for Xsense®cellular real-time dataloggers whenever connected to the cellular network.
  • Transparency of shipment conditions
  • Effective monitoring of own and 3PL vessels/vehicles
  • Shipment and item traceability
  • Quick risk evaluation thanks to unique metrics
  • Minimizes disputes between shipper and receiver
  • Improved operational efficiency that saves costs and reduces product waste
  • Strengthens insurance claims and use may result in a reduction in insurance fees
