Geotab Unveils Advanced Cold Chain Solution with New Hardware and Enhanced Software
New hardware and advanced software features provide visibility and control for temperature-sensitive logistics, addressing significant supply chain losses Refrigerated Semi Trailer SINGAPORE, Aug. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In Southeast Asia, where up to 90% of food loss occurs during transportation due to poor cold chain infrastructure, tackling waste within the temperature-controlled supply chain is critical. Geotab Inc. ("Geotab"), a global leader in connected vehicle and asset solutions, today announced a significant upgrade to its cold chain solution, featuring new hardware and enhanced software capabilities designed to provide businesses with more visibility, control, and compliance assurance for their temperature-sensitive shipments. Geotab's enhanced cold chain solution addresses the evolving market need – driven by stricter regulations and higher customer expectations – for more comprehensive, simple, and granular temperature monitoring. The relaunch introduces the advanced IOX-COLD (in-cabin) and IOX-COLD RUGGED (IP67-rated for external mounting) hardware devices. These devices offer deeper, direct integration with refrigeration units from major OEMs, simplifying installation, improving data accuracy, and reducing potential points of failure compared to solutions requiring multiple sensors. Complementing the new hardware are several changes within the MyGeotab platform to further streamline processes: Near Real-Time Monitoring: Gain an up-to-the-minute view of cargo conditions for proactive decision-making. Multi-Zone Temperature Support: Ensure the integrity of multi-temperature loads with monitoring for each zone directly from the refrigeration unit – often eliminating the need for extra sensors. Advanced Alerts & Remote Commands: Set custom temperature alerts and utilise remote command capabilities (for supported units) to take immediate corrective action. Dynamic Historical Data: Analyse past shipment performance through interactive graphs, grids, and maps to identify trends and optimise logistics. Improved Installation Process: An updated MyInstall tool streamlines the configuration and verification process. "The impact of inadequate cold chain management is felt across industries, especially in regions where long distances, fragmented infrastructure and climate extremes challenge food and pharmaceutical logistics," said David Brown, AVP APAC at Geotab. "Our cold chain solution is designed to give businesses in Asia Pacific the visibility and assurance they need to protect temperature-sensitive goods, streamline compliance, and operate more sustainably. It's about making smarter, data-driven decisions that improve outcomes every step of the way." The integrated hardware and software solution supports businesses across various sectors, including food and beverage, to mitigate the risks of spoilage, help meet regulatory compliance, protect brand reputation, and gain peace of mind.

Kontakt.io Launches Temperature Monitoring Solution for Critical Healthcare Supplies
Cloud-based solution monitors temperature and humidity of refrigerators and regulated rooms with real-time alerts to ensure the safety and effectiveness of medications and biologicals NEW YORK, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- the industry leader in AI-powered RTLS for care operations, today announced the launch of a new solution that enables hospitals to continuously monitor the temperature and humidity of refrigerators, warmers, and regulated rooms that store condition-sensitive materials such as medications, vaccines, and biologics. Continuous temperature monitoring is essential in hospitals because vaccines and many medications require strict temperature control to maintain safety and effectiveness. Even brief exposure to temperatures outside recommended ranges can significantly compromise medications' potency, rendering them ineffective or unsafe for patient use. The solution utilizes a modern design with monitors that help staff see temperature ranges at a glance with probes that feed data to a cloud-based dashboard, providing real-time alerts and reporting capabilities. This new temp-monitoring solution will help hospitals comply with stringent vaccine storage and handling requirements of the Vaccines for Children program by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with simple, easy-to-use reporting for periodic audits. Additionally, the entire system is available with NIST-traceable calibration certificates. By continuously tracking temperatures — with automated 24/7 real-time alerts for peace of mind when staff is unavailable — healthcare facilities can promptly identify and correct any deviations, minimizing the risk of spoilage, reducing waste, and safeguarding critical resources that are often costly and challenging to replace. Ultimately, this enhances patient safety, improves overall care quality, and helps healthcare providers maintain confidence in their clinical practices. As part of Intelligent Orchestration, hospitals can pair the Temperature Monitoring solution with the Asset Tracking solution to have a comprehensive source of data in a single platform to manage critical materials and equipment. "Our new Temperature Monitoring solution underscores commitment to improving hospital operational efficiency and patient care," said Rom Eizenberg, Chief Revenue Officer, "With proactive monitoring and real-time alerts, hospitals can significantly reduce risk, minimize waste, and enhance patient safety, while adhering to regulatory requirements." Continuous temperature monitoring is the newest advancement in Responsive Care Operations platform, which integrates operational and EHR data into a unified solution. Offered as a managed service, the platform utilizes AI-powered RTLS to transform operational data into actionable insights, automation, and real-time decision support—allowing health systems to rapidly realize measurable outcomes and immediate ROI. About is the first platform that gives healthcare systems everything they need to automate and orchestrate care operations. Combining AI-powered RTLS and fully managed IoT infrastructure as a service, enables responsive care and resource deployment. Optimize asset utilization and inventory, improve staff safety and productivity, and reduce length of stay with a platform that enables dozens of use cases along the patient journey. Since 2013, has provided solutions to 32,000+ end users, delivered via 1,200+ partners, and deployed 4+ million IoT devices in the field.
