Temperature-controlled transport units such as refrigerated trucks, vans, reefers, and containers are critical for maintaining the integrity of temperature-sensitive goods during transit. These units typically operate within various temperature ranges, including:
+2°C to +8°C (pharmaceuticals, vaccines)
–20°C (frozen food, biopharmaceuticals)
15°C to 25°C (controlled ambient for general goods)
Westcal’s Transport Vehicle Temperature Mapping service ensures that your transport vehicles maintain the required conditions throughout transit, helping you meet compliance standards and reduce the risk of spoilage.
Transporting temperature-sensitive goods requires precise control to ensure products remain in optimal conditions. Temperature mapping of transport vehicles is essential to verify that these units can maintain the required temperatures under real-world transit conditions. Our service provides actionable data to help you optimize cold chain performance, ensure compliance with GDP and cold chain requirements, and avoid financial losses caused by spoiled products.
Our Transport Vehicle Temperature Mapping service includes the following key steps:
Route-Based Temperature Mapping: We monitor temperature behavior along the actual routes your vehicles travel, ensuring accurate, real-world data.
Strategic Logger Placement: Loggers are placed at critical locations, such as pallet areas, doors, walls, and airflow zones, to capture temperature variation across the vehicle.
Monitoring During Traffic Delays: We assess conditions during traffic delays, door openings, and start-stop cycles to ensure consistent temperature control.
Refrigeration Unit Performance Evaluation: We evaluate the performance of refrigeration units under varying loads and environmental conditions to identify potential performance issues.
Proper Transport Vehicle Temperature Mapping is essential to prevent:
Spoilage of Pharmaceuticals and Food Products: Temperature deviations can lead to product spoilage, risking product integrity and customer health.
Non-Compliance with GDP and Cold Chain Requirements: Temperature-controlled transport must adhere to GDP (Good Distribution Practice) and cold chain logistics standards to remain compliant with regulatory guidelines.
Rejection of Shipments and Financial Losses: Ensuring stable transport temperatures helps prevent costly delays, product rejections, and potential financial losses.
Upon completion of the Transport Vehicle Temperature Mapping service, you will receive the following:
Route-Wise Thermal Performance Report: Detailed analysis of thermal performance for each route, highlighting areas of concern.
High-Risk Zone Identification: Identification of high-risk zones during loading/unloading, ensuring potential temperature fluctuations are addressed.
Cold-Chain Optimization Recommendations: Actionable insights to optimize your cold chain, improve performance, and reduce the risk of spoilage during transport.
