Keeping the Cold In Means Keeping the Door Closed
Container door status monitoring means crucial in cold chain logistics. “Door-open events in refrigerated storage significantly accelerate temperature rise, leading to 20–30% higher energy use and increased spoilage risk.”
— Vaisala mapping study on cold rooms
“IoT door-sensor alerts in cold storage help prevent costly energy losses and maintain product integrity.”
— Sensitech Ultimate Guide to Cold Chain Monitoring
A door accidentally left ajar may seem innocuous—but in cold chain logistics, it’s a trigger for irreversible loss. The T‑Sense sensor brings visibility to those critical moments, helping protect your product quality, energy spend, and compliance record.
What Is T‑Sense?
T‑Sense is our temperature + door-open event BLE sensor, designed specifically for cold chain environments:
Precise door-open/close detection via magnetic switch
Monitors temperature and humidity alongside door status
BLE 5.0 connectivity—portable, easy to pair with any BLE gateway
Low battery consumption for sustained monitoring
Event logging with timestamps—creates proof of chain integrity
Why Door Monitoring Is a Cold Chain Game-Changer
Energy Savings
Door-open events can spike energy usage by up to 30%—T‑Sense alerts empower immediate response, saving energy and money.Cargo Protection
Temperature deviations often begin with open doors—even brief exposures during loading can compromise goods.Compliance & Traceability
Create accurate logs of access events for regulatory audits and QA—even geo-tagged if paired with BLE gateway.Operational Efficiency
Remote warehouse or depot monitoring means real-time alerts, fewer manual checks, and faster corrective action.
