Rugged Solutions for
Polar Cold Chain Logistics

Understanding why cold affects electronic devices is the first step in preventing failure. As specialists in rugged computing solutions, we understand the science behind cold-environment failures and how to equip your team with technology built to withstand extreme conditions.

1. ITEM LEVEL TAGGING AND TRACEABILITY THROUGH SUPPLY CHAIN

Per-item temperature history for high-value or recall sensitive items.

2. PALLET AND SHIPMENT LOGGING

Per-pallet or per-shipment temperature history across storage and transport.

3. LAST MILE DELIVERY MONITORING

Ensure product temperature during final delivery and capture recipient acceptance.

4. Order Picking in Sub Zero Conditions

5. Cold Storage Packing, Labeling & Compliance

Devices

All devices used for data collection, temperature monitoring and other cold chain related applications will need to be freezer rated to at least -4◦F

Rugged Computing
Sensors and Hardware

RFID tags with integrated temp sensors or NFC tags

for short-range reads; handheld RFID readers and freezer-rated tablets for inventory audits; backend linking to lot/batch records.

Battery-powered Wireless Loggers

Internal temp sensors; BLE beacons that broadcast to vehicle gateways; GNSS trackers for location; portable rugged handhelds for scan-in/out. Cellular gateways or hybrid (BLE→gateway→cell) for real-time alerts.

Portable Data Loggers

Placed inside shipments; rugged handhelds for drivers to scan and capture signatures/photos; vehicle telematics and cellular modems for live alerts. Devices must be freezer-rated if used with frozen goods.
