In perishable logistics, one temperature reading from a room or truck is not enough. Real variation happens inside the pallet. Augos puts sensors in the cargo itself, so you catch the deviation that spoils product and keep the auditable record export markets demand.
In the cold chain for perishable goods like fruit, a single temperature reading from a room or truck is not enough. Real variation happens inside the pallet, driven by stacking density, blocked airflow and how close the cargo sits to the refrigeration coils. That localised inconsistency is a primary cause of spoilage, and it quietly undermines quality assurance and margin for growers and distributors.
Monitoring at the pallet is what lets you:
South Africa exports high-value deciduous and citrus fruit, and market access depends on demonstrable cold-treatment protocol adherence. Sensors inside the pallet give the precise, auditable data log that EU and US import regulations require, securing compliance and cutting the risk of a shipment being rejected.
The answer is rugged, battery-powered temperature sensors placed at pallet level:
A cloud platform is where the scattered sensor data comes together:
Because significant temperature variation happens inside a pallet, from stacking density, airflow blockages and proximity to refrigeration coils. A single room or truck reading is a blind spot; a sensor in the cargo captures the actual conditions the product is exposed to.
Central access to every sensor from anywhere, automatic timestamped logging, and a complete, tamper-proof audit record for HACCP and export compliance, plus room to add new monitoring points later.
They are battery-powered and use low-power protocols like NB-IoT or LoRa, so they report over long distances and long durations without draining power.
