Enhancing Cold Chain Logistics: A Framework for Advanced Temperature Monitoring in Transportation and Storage
Journal Title: Mechatronics and Intelligent Transportation Systems - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
In the face of the increasingly demanding of goods transportation and storage, the orchestration of cold chain logistics emerges as a critical and multifaceted endeavor. This study, addressing a notable gap in literature, establishes a comprehensive framework for temperature monitoring within cold chain logistics, focusing particularly on transportation and warehousing aspects. The complexity of managing temperature-sensitive goods is amplified by the burgeoning number of entities involved in this sector, underscoring the need for a robust monitoring approach. Recent global challenges have precipitated a series of disruptive events, further complicating the reliable transport of temperature-sensitive commodities. In light of these challenges, the necessity for meticulous temperature control during both transportation and warehousing phases is paramount; lapses in this regard could lead to grave consequences. A thorough analysis of existing cold chain delivery systems was conducted, alongside an examination of various temperature monitoring devices utilized in vehicle cargo compartments and storage facilities. The study not only scrutinizes current trends but also introduces novel solutions for effective monitoring. By exploring and evaluating these elements, the research contributes significantly to both theoretical and practical spheres, offering a solid foundation for future investigations and guidance for practitioners and decision-makers in the field. This exploration revealed the imperative for advanced sensor technologies and integrated data management systems, capable of providing real-time, accurate temperature readings throughout the entire cold chain process. The integration of smart transportation solutions, leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) technology, emerges as a pivotal factor in enhancing the reliability and efficiency of temperature monitoring. Additionally, the study underscores the importance of standardized protocols and practices across the industry to ensure consistency and reliability in temperature management. In conclusion, the framework proposed in this study not only addresses existing challenges in cold chain logistics but also paves the way for innovative approaches in temperature monitoring, fostering enhanced quality control and safety in the transportation and storage of temperature-sensitive goods.
