In the bustling world of food distribution, freshness and food safety are non-negotiable. Picture the delicate balance required to keep fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meats fresh as they travel from food producers to distribution centers. It’s a challenge that can make or break the quality of the final product.
Close monitoring of perishable shipments is not just a good idea – it's absolutely essential. With frequent door openings and variations in truck temperature, maintaining shelf life is vital. This is where DeltaTrak’s FlashTrak Bluetooth System steps in.
Designed specifically to tackle the challenges of perishable shipment monitoring, DeltaTrak’s system comprises three key components: a smaller-than-a-quarter BLE Temperature Logger, a BLE Gateway, and the FlashTrak Cloud. Let's delve into how this innovative solution works.
At the core of the system is the BLE Temperature Logger, a tiny yet powerful device that tracks environmental conditions inside vehicles during shipment. Equipped with modern Bluetooth technology, this logger wirelessly transmits data to the BLE Gateway, which is strategically installed by a distribution center’s receiving dock, close to the doors.
One of the standout features of DeltaTrak’s solution is its user-friendly design. Gone are the days of laborious searches for loggers buried in the back of trucks. With its small size and automatic registration capability, the BLE Logger can be identified without anyone having to venture into the depths of the vehicle. Talk about convenience!
When the truck arrives at the receiving dock, the magic happens. The logger automatically registers itself with the Gateway, which then seamlessly uploads the data to the cloud. No more wasted man-hours searching for loggers or staring at screens – DeltaTrak’s solution streamlines the process, making it highly efficient and hassle-free.
But the benefits don’t stop there. At the receiving dock, the Gateway is powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for additional electrical wiring. Remote configuration may be done via a PC or tablet.
In a world where freshness is non-negotiable, DeltaTrak’s efficient FlashTrak Bluetooth System is a game-changer. Whether you’re a food producer, distributor, or retailer, this solution could be exactly what you need to ensure that your perishable shipments arrive fresh and delicious.
So, the next time you bite into a crisp apple or crunch on a piece of lettuce, remember the journey it took to get to your plate – and the technology that made it possible. With DeltaTrak, freshness is always on the menu.
