Geotab Temperature Tracking via BLEG

Geotab Temperature Tracking is a solution that helps fleets monitor temperature conditions in real time using Bluetooth sensors connected through the BLEG Bluetooth Temperature Monitor. It allows businesses to track temperature data inside MyGeotab for cargo, vehicles, refrigerated units, and passenger areas.

The BLEG Bluetooth Temperature Monitor is a Bluetooth Low Energy gateway that collects data from wireless temperature sensors and sends that information to a Geotab GO device. The data is then available in MyGeotab for monitoring, alerts, and reporting.

No. Cold chain is one of the main use cases, but the solution can also be used for ambient temperature monitoring, temperature-sensitive logistics, passenger comfort monitoring, fleet vehicles, buses, and other applications where temperature visibility is important.

This solution is useful for food and beverage fleets, pharmaceutical and healthcare logistics, refrigerated transport, agriculture, fresh goods delivery, cold storage, warehousing, passenger transport, and general fleet operations that need temperature visibility.

Yes. Geotab Temperature Tracking is designed to help monitor refrigerated cargo and temperature-sensitive goods during transport. It helps fleets protect product quality, reduce spoilage risk, and improve cold chain traceability.

Yes. Temperature sensors can be installed in different areas of a bus or passenger vehicle to monitor cabin temperature. This helps operators detect HVAC issues, maintain comfort levels, and reduce passenger complaints.

The BLEG Temperature Monitor can support up to 6 sensors in a standard configuration, including 4 temperature sensors and 2 contact sensors. This allows fleets to monitor multiple temperature zones and optional door activity.

Multi-zone monitoring means using multiple sensors to track temperature in different areas of the same vehicle. For example, a fleet may monitor separate trailer compartments, different cargo zones, or different areas of a bus.

The Bluetooth temperature sensors can measure from -40°C to +85°C or -40°F to +185°F. This makes them suitable for frozen, refrigerated, and ambient temperature monitoring.

Under normal conditions, temperature data updates every 15 seconds when values change by ±1°C or ±1.8°F. If there is no temperature variation, updates are sent every 15 minutes.

Yes. Custom rules and notifications can be configured for temperature thresholds. This allows fleet managers to receive alerts when temperatures move outside the acceptable range.

Yes. Optional Bluetooth door puck contact sensors can be added to monitor door open and close events. This can help fleets understand when temperature changes may be related to loading, unloading, or door activity.

Temperature data can be viewed in MyGeotab through engine measurements and diagnostics, including remote probe temperature readings and contact sensor data. This allows teams to review current and historical temperature information.

Yes. The BLEG Temperature Monitor integrates with the MyGeotab ecosystem, allowing users to view temperature data alongside other fleet information such as vehicle activity, routes, maintenance data, and operational events.

No. The system uses wireless Bluetooth sensors, which reduces the need for complicated wiring in the cargo area. The BLEG gateway connects to the Geotab GO device through the IOX port, and the sensors are mounted in the required zones.

Yes. For refrigerated trailer applications, an optional Reefer Installation Kit can be used. This kit supports installation inside reefer units and helps maintain sensor data transmission even when a trailer is detached.

No. The sensors are wireless and only need to be mounted in the planned locations. Proper placement should be discussed before installation to avoid interference and ensure accurate temperature readings.

Yes. The gateway and sensors are designed for automotive use and can handle vibration, dust, and humidity. The sensors are waterproof, while the BLEG gateway should be protected from direct water contact unless installed with the proper reefer kit.

Geotab Temperature Tracking gives fleets better visibility into temperature conditions, helping protect cargo, improve passenger comfort, reduce spoilage, support compliance, and create clearer records for customers, audits, and internal reviews.
