The Logistics at Controlled Temperature Operator with more than 30 platforms throughout the Iberian Peninsula and a capacity of more than 600,000 m3 of cold storage and coverage of more than 27,000 capillarity points trusts the solution for continuous logging of temperature conditions, AKODATA, to monitor the entire supply chain with a unique IoT system, from source to destination.
AKO Group, the Spanish company specialising in the development, production and supply of sustainable and efficient refrigeration solutions based mainly on control and monitoring for refrigerated facilities and last mile transport, started a project in 2022 with one of the leading logistics at controlled temperature service companies in Spain and Portugal, LOGIFRIO.
For LOGIFRIO, this collaboration is an ambitious digital transformation project that will allow it to improve and automate its current monitoring system for the entire cold chain, both in its vehicle fleet and its logistics storage, via the NB-IoT (narrow band, internet of things)-based AKODATA solution guaranteeing traceability throughout the shipping process. The controlled temperature transport industry is responding more and more quickly and offering consumers safer and more sustainable service. Increased consumption of perishable goods, greater demand from final consumers, the need for energy efficiency and the commitment to reduce carbon footprints and food waste highlight the importance of monitoring the cold chain.
One of the main factors that caused LOGIFRIO to choose the AKO Group solution, fully wireless and 100% secure AKODATA with ND-IoT connectivity, is that it allows for automated monitoring of the conditions of fresh produce, refrigerated goods and
frozen goods during transport and storage, with real-time temperature traceability from any mobile device in the event of an alarm due to a break in the cold chain.
Ensuring optimal preservation of the goods transported is essential for LOGIFRIO, in line with its commitment to ‘Store, Handle and Distribute products at a controlled temperature with the best food guarantees’.
Combined with the automation and digitisation of its facilities, all of this means optimisation and streamlining of the perishable goods supply chain.
AKO’s Cold Chain Monitoring solution is an innovative combination of IoT technology and advanced visibility offering know-how, analysis and responsiveness to the supply chain, from the first mile to the last. This solution also provides insights that boost safety, efficiency and sustainability and ensure regulatory compliance: Safety: Product Care and Product Tracing.
Improve the safety and preservation of products and therefore the customer’s trust and experience, though monitoring and continuous improvement.
Efficiency: Energy optimisation, innovation and digitisation. Our solution helps reduce spoiling, improve energy efficiency and optimise operating and maintenance costs through the automation of processes.
Sustainability: Zero waste and reduced carbon footprint. Allows identifying and implementing initiatives to reduce waste and contribute to decarbonisation and reducing the carbon footprint.
