Smart Temperature Monitoring for Reefer Fleets

When transporting temperature-sensitive goods, it’s crucial to ensure that the cold chain isn’t broken. Use reefer monitoring to maintain high-quality service with every delivery.
Ensure proper transportation
Remote reefer monitoring ensures correct temperatures are maintained throughout each journey.
Have proof
Avoid disputes with customers claiming product damage by showing reefer temperature reports, and proving they were transported correctly.
Comply with regulations
Ensure full compliance and customer trust – from keeping every product at the right temperature to safe transport and reliable handover.
Get alerts of temperature deviations
Even minor errors can put cargo at risk – our reefer monitoring sends real-time alerts that let you react fast and prevent damage.

Crucial reefer information at your fingertips

Setpoint temperature
Receive alerts and reports, based on chosen setpoint temperatures and maintain the correct transportation conditions for every cargo.
Supply & return air temperature
Maintain full product integrity by monitoring the cooled air flowing from the reefer unit and the return air representing the actual temperature of the product.
Operating mode
See whether the products are being transported in a continuous or start-stop mode, impacting overall energy consumption and cargo.

Get started with a simple set-up

You only need two devices to start using the reefer tracking solution:

A Schmitz Cargobull TrailerConnect CTU, Carrier Gateway, Thermo King iBox or Bluebox that is connected to the refrigeration unit.

A telematics device such as Mapon Expert that transfers real-time data directly to the Mapon platform.

Oversee all data in simple temperature graphs

Successful temperature monitoring depends on access to the most important data.

Follow each trailer’s data in real time and adjust the displayed information using filters and zoom-in features to view specific temperature points.

Maintain your reputation and provide proof

There are often multiple parties involved in ensuring product delivery from manufacturers to consumers, increasing the possibility for something to go wrong. Products requiring cold chain support along the way are even trickier.

Avoid disputes with customers claiming product damage by showing reefer temperature reports or live data, proving they were transported at correct temperatures.

Set up various alerts and always stay informed

If anything happens to a reefer during the trip, it might take hours for the driver to notice. A remote temperature monitoring system immediately lets you know to contact the driver.

Track fuel consumption and calculate costs

Reefer units require constant power, which means they consume more fuel than standard trailers. If cooling is incorrect or the load is too warm, fuel consumption can increase up to four times.

With Mapon, you can also track fuel consumption and added costs of your cooling units. Reefer units show how many hours they operated in different power modes (diesel, electric, etc.), allowing you to easily calculate overall consumption and costs.

Use GPS and trailer-tracking to get the full picture

Combine temperature monitoring with GPS tracking to see when and where any temperature changes happened.

Trailer tracking helps you manage trailer exchanges. You always know which driver has each trailer and what cargo it carries.

Integrate temperature tracking with other systems

Use our API integration feature to send the refrigeration unit data and all the important alert information to your business systems, for example, internal order management software.

Once you receive a temperature deviation alert via the API integration, you can immediately contact the driver, notify the customer of potential delays, or arrange a replacement shipment.
