Transportation

Transportation companies play a crucial role in the cold chain, preserving and protecting temperature-sensitive cargo while it ships around the globe. Food safety regulations require the persistent monitoring of shipper conditions and food quality at every step along this journey.

Copeland combines cargo management solutions with refrigeration expertise to automate record keeping and provide end-to-end reliability and traceability of perishable foods.

Associated Food Stores needed a way to monitor and manage a variety of fruits and vegetables as they were transported from many different points of distribution.

Utilizing an embedded tracking system from Copeland, the distributor tracked perishables by recording, reporting and correcting any out of temperature range specifications along the way. This solution provided significant time and financial savings, helping to achieve a much lower rate of load rejections at the points of receipt.
