Most cold chains run on manual checks and hope. Replace that with real-time sensors and data and the same operation cuts waste, protects product and proves compliance, turning a source of loss into an advantage.
South Africa's cold chain is full of potential, but hidden problems, unpredictable delays and temperature deviations, can turn a vital artery into a source of loss. The fix is not more effort. It is better data, paired with local expertise.
Replacing manual checks with real-time data delivers three outcomes at once:
The FCD Act and municipal bylaws require verifiable temperature logging for perishables in transit. Augos automates that with immutable, timestamped logs, which typically removes a R50,000 to R100,000 non-compliance fine risk across a major logistics portfolio.
Beyond the immediate savings, the system gives you oversight and long-term asset health:
The record becomes a tool in its own right:
By letting you route and manage on real conditions rather than guesswork. When routes and temperature profiles are guided by live data, delays fall and transport costs can drop by up to 10%.
The Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and Disinfectants (FCD) Act and related municipal bylaws mandate verifiable temperature logging for perishables in transit. Augos automates this with immutable, timestamped logs, typically removing a R50,000 to R100,000 fine risk across a major portfolio.
Traceability from farm to fork, insight into plant conditions like compressor run-time and energy draw, and verifiable numbers for sustainability and financial reporting.
