Digital Temperature and Humidity Recorder for Cold Chain Transportation

Digital Temperature and Humidity Recorder in Cold Chain Transportation

Cold chain transportation is crucial for ensuring the quality and safety of vaccines, biological products, injectable drugs, fresh produce, frozen foods, and certain chemical reagents. Any deviation from the required temperature and humidity during transportation can result in product failure, spoilage, or safety hazards. Regulatory agencies such as the National Medical Products Administration, GSP standards, and global GDP (Good Distribution Practice) increasingly require full-process traceable data, making high-reliability, intelligent, and visualized temperature and humidity monitoring devices a core need for cold chain logistics companies.

The Nexisense digital temperature and humidity recorder is specifically developed to meet the stringent standards of modern cold chain transportation. It integrates high-precision measurement, large-screen real-time display, multi-mode alarms, flexible data transmission, and large-capacity storage, providing end-to-end environmental data assurance for refrigerated trucks, insulated boxes, cold storage transfers, and air/rail cold chains.

Core Challenges in Temperature and Humidity Monitoring for Cold Chain Transportation

  • Severe temperature fluctuations: loading/unloading, vehicle changes, door openings, and refrigeration failures can cause short-term temperature deviations

  • Difficulty in humidity control: frost formation in frozen chains, condensation in chilled chains

  • Continuous and traceable data: regulators require complete and tamper-proof historical records

  • Unstable communication during transportation: remote areas, mountains, and cross-border transport may lack stable networks

  • Long-term reliable operation: battery life, waterproofing, dustproofing, and vibration resistance are basic requirements

Traditional paper records or simple temperature and humidity meters cannot meet both compliance and efficiency requirements. Digital recorders integrate technologies to effectively solve these challenges.

Core Technical Advantages of Nexisense Digital Temperature and Humidity Recorder

  • Measurement Accuracy and Stability
    Uses imported high-precision digital sensors with temperature accuracy up to ±0.1°C and humidity accuracy ±1.5%RH. Fast response and minimal long-term drift. Data remains highly consistent in wide temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C.

  • Intuitive Real-Time Display and On-Site Interaction
    Industrial-grade large LCD screen displays current temperature and humidity, trend curves, alarm status, and remaining storage capacity. Drivers, loaders, and quality inspectors can quickly check the status without any tools.

  • Multi-Level Intelligent Alarm Mechanism
    Supports independent upper and lower limits for temperature and humidity. Exceeding thresholds triggers:

    • Local audible and visual alarms (high-decibel buzzer + flashing warning light)

    • Relay output (can cut off power or start backup cooling)

    • Remote notifications (SMS/App/cloud platform alerts)

  • Flexible Data Transmission and Access
    Supports multiple communication interfaces (optional):

    • RS485 (Modbus RTU) – for centralized vehicle monitoring

    • 4G / NB-IoT – low-power remote upload in remote areas

    • Ethernet (RJ45) – for fixed transfer stations

    • USB – high-speed offline data export

  • Large-Capacity Storage and Compliance Traceability
    Built-in storage for up to 1 million data records (circular overwrite or lock key segments). Automatically generates PDF/CSV reports to meet GSP, GDP, HACCP audit requirements.

  • Diverse Power Supply and Installation Flexibility
    Supports DC9–36V, USB, and built-in rechargeable lithium battery. Continuous monitoring possible even when the vehicle is off or power is cut. Multiple installation options: wall-mounted, embedded, magnetic, with internal or external probe options (customizable length).

Practical Value in Typical Cold Chain Transportation Scenarios

ScenarioApplication and Benefits
Vaccines and Biologics Refrigerated VehiclesStrict 2–8°C monitoring; any over-temperature over 30 minutes must be reported. Dual local and remote alarms notify drivers and backend staff early, providing critical response time.
Pharmaceutical Cool and Ambient ChainMonitors 15–25°C or below 25°C storage with 45–75%RH humidity. Provides full transport temperature and humidity curves for regulatory inspection and internal quality traceability.
Frozen Foods and Seafood Long-Distance Transport-18°C to -30°C ultra-low temperature chain. Humidity monitoring helps forecast defrost needs and prevent excessive drying or ice damage.
Cross-Border Cold Chain and Multi-Modal TransportNB-IoT or 4G ensures continuous data upload even in border areas, ships, and rail transfers, achieving full-chain visualization from origin to destination.

Overall Benefits of Digital Management

  • Transport anomalies reduced by 30%–60%

  • Significant reduction in product quality complaints

  • Compliance audit pass rate significantly improved

  • Improved communication between drivers and backend, reducing disputes

  • Enhanced overall operational digitization, enabling future predictive temperature and route optimization

Conclusion

The core of cold chain transportation is “full-process control and trustworthy data.” Nexisense digital temperature and humidity recorder provides high-precision measurement, real-time display, reliable alarms, multi-mode transmission, large-capacity storage, and flexible installation, ensuring safe transport of sensitive goods such as vaccines, pharmaceuticals, and foods.

In an era of stricter regulation, intense market competition, and higher consumer quality expectations, choosing a temperature and humidity recorder that truly understands cold chain operations and withstands field conditions has become essential. It is not just a monitoring device—it is a guardian of quality, compliance, and the starting point for digital transformation.
