PROGRAMMABLE FRESHNESS PROXY SENSORS AND ALARMS FOR MANAGING COLD CHAIN QUALITY

摘要

A method for tracking freshness of perishable goods within a transport container is presented. The method comprising: monitoring, using at least one sensor, at least one environmental parameter; transmitting, using the at least one sensor, the at least one environmental parameter to a communication device; transmitting, using the communication device, the at least one environmental parameter to a computing network; transmitting, using the computing network, a notification to an end user when the at least one parameter is outside a selected range; determining, using a processor, a freshness level of the perishable goods based on the at least one environmental parameter; and displaying, using a monitor, an alert identifying the at least one sensor that detected the at least one environmental parameter outside the selected range.
