Cutting-edge remote monitoring systems are a new-age counter-punch to quality and meeting regulatory requirements in the supply chain, providing unparalleled

 

visibility from hundreds or even thousands of data points at the product and pallet level. Once the data is collected, aggregation and predictive analytics models can produce insights to improve quality control and to maintain compliance.

 

There is an enormous pressure on trucking companies, cold storage transporters, and food distributors to log, maintain, and report temperature, humidity, and other relevant environmental conditions throughout the journey.

 

To help you choose the right solution for your business and make a smart investment for your fleet management, Eelinktech came up with a DB-01 wireless sensor beacon with a temperature-humidity sensor and accelerometer.

 

What Is New With DB01?

DB01 BLE 5.0 (Bluetooth Low Energy) wireless sensor Beacon is small and compact, making it easily customizable and provides a hassle-free installation. It has a lot of features with a range of settings for every wireless sensing and logging need. It comes with a Built-in temperature & Humidity sensor that guarantees high performance (The action range is around 500m) despite a very accessible cost. It can detect movement (accelerometer), temperature, humidity, light level, fall detection. It is compatible with both iBeacon and Eddystone (UID, URL, TLM) protocol.

 

DB01 comes with a robust IP65 waterproof and dustproof enclosure. It converts environmental temperature and humidity into a digital correspondent signal, by connecting to the wireless network and can upload temperature data to the server.

 

It is an ideal solution for applications in the field of monitoring, such as Cold Chain monitoring, Warehouse & Storage monitoring, Greenhouse monitoring, and Acceleration monitoring, etc.

 

Benefits of using IoT for cold chain logistics

IoT is changing the logistics sector’s face by helping solve the major issues currently faced in the industry, such as low productivity and high operational costs. Some of the key benefits of using IoT for cold chain logistics include.

 

  • Increased efficiency and productivity
  • Reduced operational costs
  • Reduction in spoilage of goods

 

How do Bluetooth Sensor Beacons Work?

Bluetooth sensor beacons work on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. They are similar to data loggers when it comes to logging data, but they are smaller, and their transmission is more efficient.

 

They need a gateway hotspot which receives the sensor readings and uploads them to a cloud using data plans or Wi-Fi. The gateway hotspot adds a location tag to the picture using GPS or cellular triangulation to verify the location of data.

 

Such gateway hotspots can be devices like GPT29 or smartphones.

 

Benefits of using DB01 BLE Sensor Beacon

The use of DB01 can help businesses streamline the logistics process. It can help overcome some of the major challenges faced by cold chain logistics providers by enabling real-time monitoring, providing data insights, and assisting businesses to make informed decisions quickly.

 

Here’s a look at some of the key features of DB01.

(1). Smart temperature & Humidity sensor

 

DB01 beacon has a built-in temperature and humidity sensor. These sensors are Highly accurate, sensitive, and Long-range. The temperature sensor has a range of -40°C to 125°C with accuracy of±1.0°C.

 

(2). BLE 5.0 version

 

DB01 is supported by BLE 5.0. It Collects temperature and humidity data and broadcast all the necessary information through BLE. We can track and monitor Realtime data on the mobile app or other BLE products.

 

(3). Mobile App Connectivity

 

DB01 comes with an Eelink-Beacon platform  which is Compatible with Eddystone, Android/IOS App. You can get historical information of the device from APP, and judge the position by RSSI signal.

 

Besides being low power, another advantage of DB01 is the ease with which it can be connected to handheld devices such as mobiles and tablets as it is convenient to access, manage, visualize, and configure the data sent by BLE devices.

 

(4). Applications

It can be used to manage cold chain monitoring, logistics, enterprise assets, Warehouse, Storage, and Greenhouse monitoring.

 

(5). Battery life

There is no need to change the battery as DB01 provides a standby time of 3 years & guaranteed 2+ years of battery lifetime replaceable 600mAh Button Battery, a perk of having a smart BLE functionality.

 

Final words

Eelinktech’s advanced Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless sensors systems can improve the efficiency and ease of monitoring humidity and temperature-controlled storage spaces.

 

DB01 is designed for rapid installation, and easy integration with existing ERPs, storage spaces, or inventory monitoring systems.  HYPERLINK “https://www.eelinktech.com/gps-tracking-devices/”Eelinktech’s BLE enabled monitoring solutions can improve your cold chain storage monitoring, supply chain, logistics & asset management.
