OCEASOFT Cobalt ML3 temperature data logger

Tracking the temperature of sensitive and perishable products during transport is a real industry challenge.

OCEASOFT developed its mobile temperature data logger, the Cobalt ML3, to meet challenges in the transport industry. The connected data logger takes care of temperature traceability during product logistics phases, leveraging specialised long-range wireless technology.

The temperature data logger automatically collects temperature data recorded by the product’s modules and transfers the information to a secure cloud platform via a network of receivers using the LoRaWan protocol. No human intervention is needed to ensure continuous temperature monitoring across the entire logistics chain.

The product can also use the public network to upload geolocation information about a container or vehicle.

Set-up is fast and intuitive, with configuration and data access simplified by the CobaltView companion web application PC, tablet and smartphone.

Temperature readings are stored in the module’s internal memory as well as on the company’s secure cloud platform, OCEACloud. A cloud application development interface (API) is also available, enabling data to be integrated with third-party information systems. In case of anomalies, such as out-of-bounds temperatures, alerts can be sent 24/7 by email, SMS or voice message via the OCEAlert platform.

The temperature data logger is designed to keep up-front investment and maintenance costs down, using low energy consumption technologies enabling battery life up to one year. Battery operation further helps make installation fast and easy. An external, waterproof, protective casing can be used for logistics and transport applications requiring additional robustness.
