Sensor-based Logistics for the Food & Beverage Industry

Food and beverage supplies need to be delivered consistently on time, and in good condition for businesses to maintain well-stocked inventories. Cargo Signal’s sensor devices attach to global freight and provide real-time data about shipments, including quality control, temperature monitoring, and live location updates. Without real-time visibility of products, you may face:

• Spoilage of temperature and light-sensitive food product
• Theft or damage of high-value spirits 
• Financial loss due to surplus or shortage of stock

How Sensor-based Logistics Can Help

• Prevent temperature and light-sensitive food and beverages from spoiling in transit
• Secure high-value supplies against theft and damage
• Ensure that product is delivered in a timely and efficient manner

Prevent Spoilage

Food and beverage in transit may be prone to spoilage or damage, resulting in costly reorders. Cargo Signal provides you with real-time visibility of your product in transit. Our temperature and light exposure alerts will let you know if your shipment falls out of an acceptable temperature range or is exposed to excess light. If your shipment has been left in the cold or heat too long, been dwelling in one spot without authorization, or has deviated from the route, you’ll know – and our Command Center will intervene.

Protect High-Value Shipments

Whenever high-value food and drink supplies are moving from facility to facility, they’re at risk of damage or theft. Cargo Signal’s security alerts can prevent that from happening. If your freight falls vulnerable to theft, Cargo Signal will sound the alarm, and our Command Center will get authorities on the scene. And what if you’re moving fragile merchandise like glass bottles or drinkware? Our impact alerts will let you know the moment your product may have been mishandled or improperly loaded, so you don’t have to play a guessing game about the condition of your shipment.

Maintain Timely Delivery of Goods 

Unreliable or inconsistent delivery may mean a restaurant ends up with empty pantries or overstocked walk-ins. With Cargo Signal, you’ll be able to track the location of your supplies in real time. You’ll know where your goods are, what condition they are in, and when they will arrive. If one of your shipments is threatened, you’ll know and be able to take action–whether that means rerouting to another location, finding an alternative route, or readjusting for quality control in transit. You’ll have the real-time visibility you need to remain flexible and provide for your customers.
