Sensors in refrigerated containers provide data about the conditions in the container during transport. Based on this, the quality of the fresh load can be c<\/span><\/strong>ontrolled\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>better\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>through continuous optimization of the conditions.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Research<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As a transporter of agricultural and horticultural products, the shelf life of the products during the journey is a challenge.This applies even more from the moment that the load enters the refrigerated container, then it is no longer possible to check the load. The cooling keeps temperature changes limited and thus the ripening of the products. However, refrigeration is not the only factor that influences the ripening of products: for example, ripening bananas release the substance ethylene. This ensures a faster ripening of other products. For example, a pallet of ripening bananas can accelerate the ripening of the peppers on the pallet next to it.<\/span><\/p>\n

So we want to be able to influence what happens in the refrigerated container during transport and this is made possible with sensors in the container. The sensors generate data about the conditions in the container during the journey, which can be read via a website. Based on this, the conditions in the container, or even specific parts thereof, can be influenced (manually or automatically) during the journey.
<\/span><\/span>That’s how sensors with internet connection make it possible to measure and optimize the transport conditions. The possibilities and effects that this technology will offer in agro-logistics will be examined in the research Quality controlled logistics in IoT* enabled perishable supply chains.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Challenges<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The installation of the sensors in the refrigerated containers requires technical knowledge and skill. Getting qualified workers on site is a challenge. Once the sensor systems are working, it will still be a challenge to actually take real-time actions based on the data read, such as choosing a different route, a different port of destination or an accelerated settlement in the port (shortening of the dwell time).
There are also many challenges in the development of applications of the technology. An example: How can seasonal effects be taken into account in the automated control of the climate in the container?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
