Sensor Cracks the Case of Stolen Cargo
With more than $200,000 worth of almonds and walnuts missing, Pacific Nut put a Locus Traxx sensor on the case to recover the stolen shipment and prevent loss.
With mass quantities of refrigerated and frozen foods in inventory, large distribution centers have the unique challenge of preventing food loss and protecting food safety on a grand scale. Adding to this complexity, many are also supporting e-commerce food retail fulfillment.
Copeland provides distribution center operators with robust refrigeration systems, powerful controls, temperature monitoring, and a holistic view of facilities, assets and shipments en route.
With approximately 300,000 square feet of multi-temp warehousing in British Columbia, a warehouse owner was looking to retrofit his legacy refrigeration systems. Their functional, but dated, systems were using mechanical expansion valves and basic fan cycling to maintain high condensing pressure. The systems were still effective, reliable and most importantly, provided continuous operation which was essential for the facility to operate.
Copeland worked with the Oppenheimer Group to provide real-time temperature certainty of goods in transit and instill much-needed accountability during critical transfer points. Using our GO Real-time trackers, Copeland helped the distributor automate the tracking and logging of temperature and location data throughout the global journeys of more than 100 varieties of fruits and vegetables. As a result, Oppenheimer can access this data on demand to pinpoint issues, address out-of-temperature shipments, and limit load rejections.
