Cold chain

An agile cold chain sees the problem coming.

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.

The short version

Real-time visibility: your operational radar

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:

Why it matters in South Africa

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.

Anticipating disruption with predictive insight

Real agility is forecasting the next problem, not just reacting to this one. The platform analyses your historical trends and performance to give:

Resilience, with people behind the data

No operation navigates this alone. Augos provides the data backbone plus the people to use it:

Common questions

How does Augos help with unpredictable weather and infrastructure?

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.

What do predictive insights give me?

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.

Do alerts still work during load shedding?

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.
