Non-FDA-Regulated Cold Chain

Economical non-FDA-regulated cold chain monitoring uses connected temperature sensors and fleet management software to provide practical cargo-condition visibility without the complexity of an FDA-focused compliance system.

GPS Tracking Canada provides Geotab-integrated solutions that help fleets monitor cargo temperatures, vehicle locations, trips, stops, door activity, and temperature exceptions through the MyGeotab platform.

The solution may suit produce distributors, beverage suppliers, florists, caterers, meal delivery services, agricultural businesses, and other fleets transporting temperature-sensitive goods that are not subject to FDA-specific monitoring requirements.

Wireless sensors collect temperature readings from the cargo area. A Didcom BLEG gateway sends the information through a Geotab GO device to MyGeotab, where authorized users can review temperatures alongside vehicle and trip data.

Yes. Fleet managers can view reported temperature information in MyGeotab without physically inspecting the cargo compartment. Reporting speed depends on the system configuration and available connectivity.

Yes. MyGeotab can be configured with rules and notifications that alert selected team members when a reported temperature moves outside a specified range.

An early alert may give drivers and dispatchers time to inspect the refrigeration equipment, secure an open door, adjust handling procedures, or relocate the cargo before more products are affected.

Yes. Didcom BLEG bundles are available for one, two, three, or four monitoring zones. The gateway can also support additional compatible sensors when broader coverage is required.

Temperatures can vary between the front, middle, rear, upper, and lower portions of a cargo compartment. Multiple sensors provide a clearer view of the conditions surrounding the goods.

Yes. The wireless sensor design allows compatible sensors to be repositioned when cargo layouts, vehicle assignments, or monitoring requirements change.

Yes. Optional compatible contact sensors can record cargo-door activity. Comparing door events with temperature changes can help fleets identify extended openings or improperly secured doors.

This economical monitoring solution is primarily designed to provide temperature and operational visibility. It does not necessarily provide direct control of the refrigeration unit. Available capabilities depend on the installed hardware and integration.

Yes. MyGeotab can retain reported temperature readings for trip reviews, customer questions, internal quality checks, operational analysis, and investigation of temperature exceptions.

Yes. Managers can review temperature information alongside supported data such as vehicle location, trips, stops, routes, and door activity to better understand when and why a temperature change occurred.

It may help reduce rejected deliveries by allowing fleets to identify temperature problems sooner and maintain records of reported cargo conditions. However, acceptance ultimately depends on the customer’s requirements and the condition of the shipment.

Repeated temperature deviations may indicate refrigeration problems, damaged seals, excessive door-open time, inadequate pre-cooling, or other operational issues. Fleets can use these patterns to support inspections and maintenance planning.

Wireless sensors can reduce the amount of cabling required throughout the cargo area, helping simplify installation. The exact installation process depends on the vehicle, gateway, sensor placement, and selected Geotab hardware.

No FDA compliance should be assumed. This solution is intended for fleets that need economical temperature visibility but do not require an FDA- or FSMA-validated monitoring system. Businesses must confirm their own legal, contractual, and customer requirements.

The records may support internal monitoring and traceability, but they should not be represented as regulatory compliance documentation unless the complete system, calibration procedures, recordkeeping practices, and operating processes have been verified to meet the applicable requirements.

GPS Tracking Canada can help assess the number of vehicles, cargo types, temperature ranges, monitoring zones, alert requirements, and optional door sensors needed. Contact us to discuss an economical Geotab-integrated cold chain solution for your fleet.
