When transporting a temperature-sensitive load from point A to point B, a shipper often uses a data logger to provide a record of the temperature during transport and to provide proof that no temperature abuse occurred to the shipment. This electronic record is critical for shippers and provides evidence in claims situations to verify if and where any breaks occurred in the cold chain.

In order to feed a world with increasingly congested cities and a rapidly growing population, food must be transported. But, how does one monitor the food during transport to ensure that it has been protected from temperature and humidity spikes? How can shippers know exactly what the conditions are in the back of a truck containing the food or where the truck is en route?

For monitoring shipments of perishable or vulnerable commodities, loggers are a valuable way to ensure traceability and maintain shipment quality. But, what if you could get a 2-in-1 logger?

The new FlashLink RTL Prime 2G and 3G In-Transit Loggers offer just that—real-time reporting and a PDF backup report when cellular service is unavailable. The loggers monitor both temperature and location, so you can track deliveries using a cloud-based service to see real-time route information and conditions in a truck or airplane.

What must a temperature logger have and do in order to be considered an “ultimate logger”? Certainly it should be easy to use. How about on-board software to enable you to download a report in minutes? An easy-to-read LCD? Perhaps, some provision in case the trucker forgets to start it?

Such a logger does exist. The new FlashLink® PDF VU In-Transit Logger meets all of those requirements and more. This logger is truly a plug-and-play device.

Did you know that many in-transit loggers are never actually started? According to DeltaTrak hard data, 12% of loggers on inbound loads were never activated by the shipper. For these trips, shippers would have no data to support that they did what was necessary to deliver quality commodities to the receiver. This insurance and peace-of-mind would all be lost simply because the loader forgot to start the logger.

The patented Shadow Log fail-safe feature on the DeltaTrak loggers solves this problem.

Produce picked from the field has a long road before arriving on the consumer’s plate. First, the harvested food immediately goes to a cooling facility located near the field. From the cooling facility, trucks take the commodity to a distribution center. Finally, the produce is transported to the grocery stores. For these trips, shippers typically use in-transit loggers to insure that the carrier did what was necessary to provide and deliver the commodities that the receiver purchased.

Extreme shipment conditions and temperatures require “extreme” monitoring products. Dry ice is commonly used for shipments such as industrial commodities and biological substances in order to provide a very cold shipping container environment.

In order to effectively monitor such shipments to guarantee that the low temperature has been maintained, shippers need loggers that can withstand these extreme conditions.

In the journeys from "Field to Fork," in-transit temperature loggers provide evidence that the commodity is fresh and that proper temperature has been maintained. The independent temperature logger ensures that the item being offered for sale will have the best possible quality and longest shelf life.

But what happens if the loader forgets to start the logger? Indeed, according to DeltaTrak hard data, approximately 8% of in-transit loggers are never actually started!
