The new tempmate system suits duties in the logistics sector and can boost the reliability and quality of material deliveries. This is particularly important to the supply of materials where delivery temperatures can be critical, such as asphalt.

The system uses GSM technology so that relevant measurement data can be transmitted continuously and in real time. Any signs of changes to temperature or humidity can be spotted and the device will send an alarm, allowing a fast response. The system also allows users to replace goods if necessary, in order to be able to meet delivery deadlines.

The system includes innovative sensor and communications technology, as well as geolocation and a real-time alarm system. The single-use data logger unit monitors relevant measurements and transmits this information along with positioning in real time to the connected Cloud. The unit has a built-in SIM card that functions globally and is already activated.
