Transportation Temperature Monitoring
Transportation Temperature Monitoring Solutions
Find your ideal transport data logger
Transportation temperature monitoring solutions are essential to many industries, as they ensure the integrity of any temperature-controlled supply chain and the critical supply of products where quality and safety can be compromised during transit. Our customers are striving for an uninterrupted sequence from production to storage and distribution. One of the biggest challenges in this is often transportation temperature monitoring due to logistical variables.
Transport data loggers provide customers with added reassurance that environmental conditions are closely monitored and recorded throughout the entire journey, regardless of the means of travel. Whether you are looking to protect temperature-sensitive food products or pharmaceutical products we have the right logger for you.
At Withnell Sensors we offer a wide selection of temperature data loggers from leading brands to support transport temperature monitoring. This range includes wireless loggers with a temperature range between -196 to +400°C.
Applications: Transport Temperature Monitoring

There are many applications which require in-transit temperature monitoring and condition control. As a crucial aspect of logistics and supply chain management, refrigerated transport services are vital in helping products reach their destination in the same quality they were distributed.
Freight Monitoring
What's important with transportation temperature monitoring?
Simply put, temperature fluctuations are more common in transportation environments because there are more risks to consistent conditions. From loading, unloading, journey time, location, and more, all these factors can cause spoilage, contamination or loss of products. Transit temperatures are regulated by GDP, FSMA, HACCP and many other bodies.
The good distribution practice (GDP) from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) is specifically for the medical supply chain, however, many other industries require the regular movement and re-location of products, samples and supplies as well as the general distribution of products for sale. Pharmaceuticals, vaccines, food products, drink products, chemicals, materials and other industrial goods are all shipped across the globe.
The transportation temperature monitoring solution is usually dependent on the travel mode. Wireless, remote and cloud-based transport data loggers offer the best versatility for transit, whether that be land, sea or air.
Shipments can benefit from transport data loggers offering GPS and multi-zone monitoring. This is what makes them suitable for various transport modes, examples that can be supported by a remote monitoring device include:
Road
The majority of supply chains in the UK will rely on road transportation for the local distribution of refrigerated products. Multi-stop deliveries are only possible with ongoing monitoring since maximum travel time is calculated before journeys as part of regulatory procedure.
Air
Air cargo is more common for the most valuable of products, which are more likely to be shipped across the continent for public health and safety. Pharmaceutical and food/beverage products are specifically regulated by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to prevent perish or degradation.
Sea
Transportation temperature monitoring is vital for sea shipments too, which requires careful consideration due to the logistics involved in long-term journeys. The shipments are typically more bulk than road or sea, which means more access points are usually required.
Rail
The cold chain commonly spans rail transport as it is a cost-effective and energy-efficient shipment method for larger-scale deliveries. Cross-city and country travel is ideal for rail cold-chain distribution of healthcare products, however, chemical and industrial goods also benefit from the stable conditions of rail.
