Reelables has launched the Reelables 5G Cellular Label for temperature monitoring, giving logistics providers, cargo forwarders, manufacturers, and retailers temperature-controlled visibility at a per piece level to trace each perishable shipment through the supply chain.
The 5G Cellular Label measures temperature from -10 to 60 degrees Celsius with pharma grade, +/- 0.5C accuracy, and automatically transmits data to an app or the user management system via API system-generated alerts to proactively avoid spoilage, and fulfill FDA, federal and state compliance requirements.
The label constantly monitors the ambient temperature and the location of products in each shipment while en route via land, water, or air. It alerts operational teams when an issue presents itself based on expected offsets or cumulative temperatures. The alert logic is calculated by combining the Reelables Cellular label with key data points pulled from shipment and flight level messages.
Data from Reelables temperature logging labels also provides a history of inventory movement and environmental conditions, providing accountability that shipment conditions are controlled for food safety and pharmaceutical integrity.
The temperature label is a single-use 4x8” label, environmentally friendly with a non-DG battery. It can be activated by Near-Field Communication (NFC) using a mobile phone. It enables in-transit temperature reporting and real-time split detection of freight moving together. All shipment data per piece level (location, status and expected delivery time) is available to the shipper, consignee, and forwarder in a UI, email, and/or alert.
