The fresh produce industry faces ongoing challenges in maintaining product quality and reducing waste during transportation and storage. Temperature fluctuations, improper handling, and inadequate monitoring contribute to significant losses, with nearly 30% of food wasted globally, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). In North America, food waste costs businesses an estimated $218 billion annually. Enhancing cold chain logistics is key to improving efficiency and minimizing losses in the fresh produce supply chain.

Optimizing Cold Chain Management with SecureSense Pro

SecureSense Pro, powered by Zebra’s ZS300 sensors and ZB200 bridge technology, provides an advanced temperature monitoring solution to help businesses track, manage, and respond to temperature fluctuations in real time. With instant alerts, automated compliance reporting, and strategic sensor placement, SecureSense Pro improves supply chain efficiency and reduces product loss.

Strategic Placement of ZS300 Bluetooth Sensors

Proper sensor placement is essential for accurate temperature tracking and consistent monitoring across warehouses, refrigerated trailers, and delivery vehicles. Recommended placement strategies include:

Refrigerated Trailers – Sensors should be positioned at multiple locations (near doors, in the center, and at the farthest end) to detect cooling inconsistencies.

Pallet-Level Monitoring – Embedding sensors within produce pallets ensures temperature-sensitive goods remain stable, with alerts triggered when conditions change.

Cold Storage Facilities – Placing sensors at different heights and warehouse zones accounts for air circulation and varying temperature conditions.

Last-Mile Delivery Vehicles – Monitoring in delivery trucks ensures produce remains at optimal temperature before reaching retailers or consumers.

Real-Time Alerts for Proactive Cold Chain Management

SecureSense Pro provides instant notifications when temperature fluctuations occur, enabling businesses to take immediate corrective actions. Unlike traditional monitoring systems, SecureSense Pro allows users to:

• Acknowledge alerts to confirm awareness of an issue.
• Snooze alerts temporarily while corrective action is being taken.
• Add comments to document actions, such as adjusting airflow or securing refrigerator doors.

This proactive alert management system helps prevent minor temperature shifts from escalating into major spoilage issues, reducing waste and financial losses.

Cost Savings and Sustainability Benefits

Reducing spoilage through SecureSense Pro and ZS300 sensors leads to:

• Lower operational costs through improved transport efficiency.
• Less food waste, reducing the need for restocking and replacement shipments.
• A reduced carbon footprint by optimizing cold chain logistics and minimizing unnecessary fuel consumption.

Improving Produce Supply Chain Efficiency

By integrating SecureSense Pro and Zebra’s ZS300 sensor technology, businesses across Canada and the United States can ensure fresh produce arrives in optimal condition, reducing waste and improving supply chain sustainability. This advanced monitoring solution helps logistics providers maintain product integrity, regulatory compliance, and cost-effective operations.
