South African logistics is tested constantly by weather and infrastructure. Efficiency is not enough; agility is what keeps product intact. Augos gives your cold chain real-time visibility and predictive insight, so you adjust course before a threat becomes a loss.
South Africa's cold chain is a moving target. A road closure, a power cut or an unexpected heatwave can compromise product integrity in minutes. Real-time data is what lets you see it happening.
Sensors track temperature and location continuously and feed it back to the platform, which lets you:
With frequent unplanned power interruptions, business continuity through a cold-chain event is a real risk. Using Augos sensors with backup power and an NB-IoT link, a Gauteng distributor of frozen goods automatically alerted generator and maintenance crews during a power failure, saving an estimated R150,000 of perishable stock in a single incident.
Real agility is forecasting the next problem, not just reacting to this one. The platform analyses your historical trends and performance to give:
No operation navigates this alone. Augos provides the data backbone plus the people to use it:
Sensors continuously report temperature and location to the platform, so when a road closes, the power drops or a heatwave hits, you can reroute a truck or adjust storage before cargo temperature drifts out of specification, rather than discovering the loss afterwards.
The platform analyses your historical data to forecast when a refrigeration unit is likely to fail, and to anticipate seasonal slowdowns, so you can schedule maintenance early and adjust inventory instead of reacting to a breakdown or a shortage.
Yes. With sensors on backup power and a robust NB-IoT link, the platform keeps reporting and can automatically alert generator and maintenance crews during a power failure.
