Temperature-sensitive goods require continuous monitoring and recording throughout the entire transport chain. The GDP and HACCP regulations prescribe this. If documentation is missing or incomplete, the loss of follow-up orders and considerable economic consequences are to be expected.
Regardless of whether a consignment or package passes through several transhipment depots or several vehicles are involved in the transport chain: cadis® keeps track of everything and generates the required temperature certificate at the push of a button. There is no need for the time-consuming and error-prone manual allocation of many individual temperature curves. The required documents are available immediately after delivery and the administrative transport processing can be completed quickly.
Sensors in the vehicle loading compartments measure and send temperature and geo data to the telematics provider at short intervals. The data is transmitted to cadis® fully automatically and in real time, so that cadis® knows not only the temperature but also the whereabouts of the goods (vehicle/swap body/trailer). Even with swap bodies and trailers, permanent data transfer is possible without any problems by using a self-sufficient power supply.

While larger consignments of goods are transported by vehicle on a direct route, transhipment centres are involved for general cargo consignments. Here, too, the temperature is measured, usually with several depot sensors. If a package passes through several measurement areas, the measurement data must be defined to allow for later evaluation.
By scanning the packages/shipment at each transfer point of the transport chain, cadis® always "knows" the current location of the goods to be monitored. Due to the scanning time, cadis® captures exact demarcation between the transfer points, which enables clear assignment of individual measurement data of the temperature sensors.
Especially when passing through different handling centres and transportation across several vehicles, a large amount of valuable working time is saved due to the elimination of manual post-processing in connection with document creation.
After delivery of the goods to the recipient, cadis® generates a PDF document with all important consignment data and a continuous temperature curve from collection to delivery within seconds, when required.
During the course of a route, temperature-controlled goods frequently change their location. With each transfer, whether within a handling depot in a warehouse or into or out of a vehicle, the new location is checked by cadis® to ensure that it is suitable for the prescribed temperature range of the goods. If the destination location is not permissible for the goods, a warning is issued immediately.
In this way, costly restriction violations within the cold chain can be prevented right from the start.
What our customers like
„Continuous temperature control along the supply chain is no problem for cadis®. The automated creation of temperature certificates drastically reduces your personnel costs. At the same time, the required certificates can be sent your customers more quickly which in turn will speed up the invoicing process.“
