New Copeland GO Nano BLE Logger Measures Temperature-Critical Perishable Good Shipments

Copeland, a global provider of sustainable climate solutions, announced the launch of its GO Nano BLE temperature monitoring solution. This logger is designed to measure a shipment’s individual pallets or temperature zones across the global perishable goods supply chain, especially high-value, temperature-sensitive goods. The innovative device leverages Bluetooth low energy (LE) technology to facilitate seamless global deployment, ensuring easy integration with the new GO Nano Gateways or connectivity through the user-friendly Oversight Connect mobile app from Copeland.

Perishable good quality is important to all stakeholders, including foodservice and retail suppliers, transporters and consumers. Commodities not kept within the necessary temperature parameters can lead to large amounts of waste, especially if it’s unknown which specific pallets or parcels within a shipment are spoiled. While estimates vary, approximately one third of food produced globally, 1.3 Gt, is wasted, equating to approximately 4.4 Gt of CO2 annually. Lack of granular visibility for sensitive in-transit cargo increases the risk of wasting entire shipments due to isolated temperature deviations. Copeland’s GO Nano BLE solution offers end-to-end visibility to help ensure high-value commodities are monitored every step of the way — helping safeguard against loss and spoilage while optimizing supply chain efficiency and maximizing return on investment. The GO Nano BLE logger precisely captures data for individual pallets or zones to monitor the entire load. By utilizing this solution, customers can make smarter, more granular ‘accept’ or ‘reject’ decisions to best benefit their business and their own customers.

The loggers enable complete cold chain visibility from point of origin to point of sale. Each GO Nano BLE logger records every five minutes to provide timely insights about the cargo’s environmental conditions for customers interested in end-to-end analytics. This precision monitoring provides tangible benefits, including: more data to support compliance requirements such as the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP); the ability to make more informed decisions on the entirety of a shipment; and the identification of breaks in the cold chain.

Its vibrant color scheme enhances visibility, making it easy to spot and access. By using the Oversight Connect mobile app to activate the device’s LED indicators, a user can quickly find parcels or pallets that might indicate potential temperature excursions.
