Enfield-based transport controls supplier The OEM Group has expanded its product portfolio with the launch of SecureTemp, a “wireless” refrigerated trailer temperature alert.
The product will help chilled fleets fulfil their due diligence obligations as well as reducing the cost of spoiled loads and lost orders, claims OEM.
SecureTemp alerts the driver if the refrigerated unit on a trailer fails, allowing remedial action to be taken before a load is spoilt. The unique ‘Search and Mate’ system in SecureTemp has two components; a long-life battery powered RFID temperature transmitter fitted inside the trailer, and an in-cab receiver with an audible and visual LED display.
“SecureTemp will enable logistics companies adhere to the stringent regulations which apply to the refrigerated transport sector and, as well as preventing loads from being spoiled, will enable a load to be replaced quickly where delivery times are critical,” said a company statement. “The key benefits of SecureTemp include the wireless technology meaning no communication costs and no cable connection from trailer to cab, a wide temperature band capacity and a simple to install, easy to use and maintenance free unit.”
SecureTemp has been developed with help from Samworth Brothers Distribution, which has fitted the product to its entire fleet. “SecureTemp will assist us with the strict guidelines that surround temperature controlled distribution as well as helping reduce costs by saving loads before they are spoiled,” commented Carl Bufton, distribution manager of Samworth Brothers Distribution.
For OEM, manufacturer of the award winning re-usable security seal - SecureSeal, the launch of SecureTemp is “a return to its core business of providing the transport sector with indicative controls and also extends its portfolio of innovative products for today’s logistics market”.
