ORBCOMM’s Smart Cold Chain solution provides real-time connectivity, monitoring, and traceability for refrigerated transportation to help fleets protect perishable goods and comply with food safety regulations. Using industrial IoT telematics integrated with refrigeration units, the platform continuously tracks temperature, equipment status, location, and fuel usage across refrigerated trailers and containers on land, rail, or sea. Automated alerts, remote reefer controls, geofencing, and detailed reporting enable fleets to quickly address temperature deviations, optimize asset utilization, reduce fuel and maintenance costs, and improve operational efficiency. The system also simplifies compliance with regulations such as the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) by automatically collecting and storing temperature records. In practice, these capabilities can significantly reduce spoilage and claims; for example, C.R. England reduced temperature-damage claims by 44% within a year of deploying the platform.
