Keeping the Cold In Means Keeping the Door Closed

Container door status monitoring is critical in cold chain logistics. Door-open events can accelerate temperature rise, increase energy use, and raise spoilage risk.

T-Sense helps operators detect those moments quickly so they can protect product quality, energy efficiency, and compliance performance.

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 alerts support faster response and help reduce unnecessary cooling loss.
  • Cargo protection: Temperature deviations often begin with open doors or delayed closure events.
  • Compliance & traceability: Logged access events help support audits, QA records, and operating discipline.
  • Operational efficiency: Real-time alerts reduce manual checks and help teams respond faster.
