How Sentrax and MokoSmart Deliver End-to-End Cold Chain Visibility
Introduction: Why the Cold Chain Needs Smart Technologies
Cold chain logistics is entering a new era of real-time intelligence. With the global cold chain market expected to exceed $892.6 billion by 2030, industries managing temperature-sensitive goods—vaccines, pharmaceuticals, dairy, meat, produce, frozen foods—must operate with unmatched precision.
Yet, major challenges still persist:
- Limited real-time visibility during transport
- Slow or delayed response to temperature excursions
- Manual logging and fragmented historical records
- High spoilage risks impacting revenue, safety, and compliance
To overcome these gaps, modern operators are adopting BLE-based sensing, RTLS platforms, and automation-driven monitoring.
This is where Sentrax’s Solix RTLS Platform, combined with MokoSmart’s BLE Tags running Sentrax’s sBeacon-compatible firmware, delivers a fully connected and data-driven cold chain ecosystem—powered end to end by Sentrax scanners and gateways.
1. Continuous Temperature & Humidity Intelligence
MokoSmart’s cold chain BLE tags—enhanced with Sentrax sBeacon data firmware support—capture essential environmental conditions:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Shock & movement
- Light exposure
- Door open/close status
- Other environmental metrics depending on tag type
These BLE tags are continuously detected by Sentrax Zenix gateways/scanners, which securely forward sensor data to the Solix RTLS platform.
The Solix platform converts raw readings into real-time intelligence, enabling:
- Instant detection of temperature or humidity deviations
- Automated alerts for drivers, warehouse supervisors, and cold chain operators
- Continuous digital logs for certifications and regulatory audits
- Reliable environmental monitoring across reefer trucks, cold rooms, containers, and frozen storage facilities
At every stage of the cold chain, conditions remain visible, protected, and verifiable.
2. Precision Asset Tracking (BLE RSSI & BLE AoA)
Cold chain visibility requires more than environmental intelligence—it requires knowing where assets are at all times.
Powered by the Sentrax RTLS engine:
- MokoSmart BLE tags track pallets, crates, packages, and cold chain assets
- Sentrax Zenix scanners capture movement, location changes, and status updates
- AoA (Angle of Arrival) hardware enables sub-meter accuracy for high-value or sensitive goods
- Hybrid workflows using BLE + RFID can be implemented depending on operational needs
When environmental and location data are combined, operators gain a complete understanding of asset conditions and movement—eliminating blind spots during storage or transport.
3. Automated Reporting & Compliance-Ready Documentation
Sentrax Solix automates all critical documentation, including:
- Temperature & humidity logs
- Location-based environmental timelines
- Route playback for transported goods
- Audit-ready compliance documents
This automation replaces manual recordkeeping, ensures consistent accuracy, and supports global standards such as:
- GDP (Good Distribution Practice)
- HACCP
- WHO cold chain guidelines
- Local health authority requirements
Compliance becomes effortless and fully traceable.
4. Instant Alerts for Temperature Excursions
Temperature excursions remain one of the largest risks in cold chain logistics.
With Sentrax + MokoSmart (sBeacon-enabled):
- Alerts trigger the moment thresholds are exceeded
- Drivers receive instant notifications to adjust cooling settings
- Supervisors and managers get real-time alerts through dashboards and mobile
- Fast corrective action prevents spoilage, waste, and product rejection
This proactive approach is far more effective than passive data loggers that reveal problems only after delivery.
