Vitals Engine / Cold Chain Monitoring

A breach found at transit point 4, not at the quality check.

Temperature is the reading that fails silently. Canfrox tracks it through every leg of transit and storage, so an excursion surfaces with a location while there's still time to act on it.

Continuous readings

Temperature is read at each transit and storage checkpoint, not sampled on arrival - so a mid-transit dip is visible while the shipment is still moving.

Range held per product

Each product carries its own range - 2 to 8°C for a cold chain batch, wider for ambient goods - and the reading is judged against that range, not a generic threshold.

Excursion located, not guessed

When a reading leaves range, the breach is tied to the exact checkpoint, so the response targets one leg of the route instead of quarantining a whole batch.

Worked example

One breach, detected end to end.

A single cold chain batch, followed from dispatch to recovery - showing exactly where the excursion happened and what surfaced in response.

  1. Dispatch, in range

    T-0h

    Batch PX-4471 leaves the manufacturer at 4.6°C. Range 2-8°C confirmed and logged against the shipment.

  2. Holding across three checkpoints

    T-6h

    Readings at transit points 1 through 3 stay between 4.2 and 5.1°C. No action needed, history recorded.

  3. Excursion at transit point 4

    T-9h

    Reading climbs to 9.3°C at a reloading stop. The excursion is flagged immediately and pinned to transit point 4 - not the whole route.

  4. Cold-safe reroute suggested

    T-9h

    A nearby transit point with cold storage is surfaced as an alternate, with the temperature-recovery window shown before the batch is at risk.

  5. Back in range, breach documented

    T-11h

    After the reroute, readings return to 5.0°C. The excursion stays on the batch record for the quality review, with its exact location and duration.
