OCEASOFT Emerald: Bluetooth temperature datalogger for today’s cold-chain monitoring challenges

When you have to ship temperature-sensitive goods, it’s important to note whether or not the cold chain was respected during transport. Your goods may travel by truck, airplane, or refrigerated container. The ambient temperature and weather condition can vary greatly during the trip. This can have an undesirable effect on your products.

Tracking temperature during shipment poses many challenges, such as accessing the information and ensuring the sender and receiver that temperature was consistent. OCEASOFT, a leading provider of advanced temperature tracking solutions solves the problem with the Emerald temperature recorder.

The bluetooth enabled Emerald device reads the temperature at regular intervals, stores the data, and informs you in case of unexpected temperature conditions. All you need is a smartphone to program Emerald and view stored temperature readings. Just flash the code on the back of the module to download the free app easily.

Emerald’s small size and robust construction make it ideal for any type of container. You can even access Emerald wirelessly with your smartphone, through truck siding and in boxes or coolers when the lid is closed.

Here’s an example using Emerald to track temperature for an overseas shipment. When the container is ready to go, use your smartphone to program Emerald and start recording temperature. Emerald can start automatically at a specific time or when the temperature drops below a defined value. As the container travels, Emerald tracks temperature regularly and stores up to 4,000 readings in its memory. On the way to the airport, the driver can check the cold chain conditions using his own smartphone. Data can be uploaded to the cloud each time Emerald is read, along with geolocation information provided by the smartphone. You can read Emerald again before loading the package onto the plane to ensure that temperature was respected up to this point. Emerald’s wireless system switches automatically to sleep mode so the device can be transported by airplane without restriction. As the package is loaded back onto ground transportation, another smartphone can read Emerald and check the temperature again. At the final destination, all the receiver has to do is use the smartphone app to viewed stored readings one last time before opening the container. Because the data is uploaded to the cloud, all authorized users have instant access to complete tracking information, including the locations at which Emerald was checked.

Emerald doesn’t require any dedicated equipment, docking stations, or complex computer installations; just a smartphone. Whether you need to respect the cold chain during product deliveries, or simply keep an eye on your storage facilities and equipment, Emerald gives you fast and reliable access to the information you need.
