• Continuous monitoring of a refrigerated load in transit is now possible via satellite. Trials on the system, devised by Logiq and Cold Chain Instruments, have been running for the past few months.
The equipment continuously monitors the load's temperature in up to eight places. Maximum and minimum permitted temperatures are pre-programmed; if a variation is sensed details will be sent to the cab and, via satellite, back to base. A message giving all readings will be n-ansmitted at pre-set intervals.
