6 tips for making the most of your cold room

Finding the right cold chain temperature monitoring system isn't easy. Whether you're transporting pharmaceuticals, chilled food or delicate florals, you need cold chain monitoring equipment that's accurate, reliable and user-friendly.

Here is where Crodeon's answer to the many challenges in cold chain logistics monitoring comes into play: Reporter, a user-friendly sensor module for remote monitoring.

Reporter isn't just another logger. It's a real-time, plug & play cold chain monitoring device designed for effortless integration into your cooled transport operations. With built-in GPS, cellular connectivity (GSM) and compatibility with professional-grade cold chain sensors, Reporter sets itself apart as the most complete solution on the market.

Real-time tracking, not just data logging

While traditional cold chain loggers record temperature and location data, they often only share that data once the shipment reaches its destination. That's too late if a failure has already happened.

Reporter monitors your cooled transport in real time. The device sends live temperature, humidity, and GPS data to the cloud through 5G/4G/2G, meaning you always know where your load is and how it's doing. If anything goes wrong, you get an instant alert. This feature alone can save thousands in spoiled goods.

Remote data access via the Crodeon Dashboard

Reporter connects to the Crodeon Dashboard, a secure web interface accessible from your phone, tablet, and pc. This is where you can view your live data, historical trends, and set when and how you want to receive real-time alerts. It's intuitive, fast, and designed for everyday users.

No software installations. No training manuals. Just instant access to everything you need to manage your cold chain monitoring system.

Out of the box, into the truck

Most cold chain monitoring technologies require lengthy setups, technical expertise or complex calibration to get started. Reporter doesn't.

The device is ready to use straight out of the box. You plug it in, connect your sensors, and you're good to go. That means no downtime, no IT support, and no headaches. It's designed to be used by drivers, logistics managers or anyone else in the supply chain, no engineering degree required.

This makes Reporter the ideal cold chain monitoring solution for businesses that value speed, flexibility and simplicity.

Flexible sensor options for every application

Every cold chain is different. That's why Reporter works with a wide range of wired sensors, from digital temperature probes, to humidity, and open door sensors. You can monitor air temperature, product core temperature, and even the opening and closing of refrigerated compartments.

Reporter is not locked into one type of sensor or use case. You get full flexibility to build a cold chain temperature monitoring device that suits your specific needs. Suitable for pharmaceutical cold chain monitoring, chilled food, or fresh flower logistics.

Built for harsh environments

Transporting goods in a refrigerated trailer or cold box means exposure to moisture, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations. Reporter is built to survive all of it.

Thanks to its IP67 rating it becomes ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Need to monitor chilled food transport in the rain? No problem. Long drive across the continent? Still good. Reporter is designed for the realities of cold chain tracking on the road.

Powered how you need it

Reporter runs on multiple power options, including vehicle power, battery pack and even solar panels. It also features a built-in battery that can last for a while in case of a power cut, so it'll stay online and operational. It's as self-sufficient as you need it to be.

This ensures continuous monitoring even when your transport is stationary or the engine is off. In remote areas or long hauls, where continuous data logging is mission-critical, this power flexibility is a game-changer.

How is Reporter powered?

Made in Belgium, built for the world

Reporter is designed and assembled in Belgium, which means European quality. It's used across a wide range of industries: food logistics, agriculture, livestock, construction, water industries like sewer system operators, (bio-scientific) research, and much more.

For businesses operating across borders, it also means stable 5G/4G/2G roaming during transportation.

One device for every transport need

Many businesses struggle with fragmented setups, separate cold chain sensors, loggers, and GPS units. Reporter combines all of these into one compact device.

That's fewer things to charge, fewer devices to install, and less room for error.

Whether you're handling cooled transport of meat, medicine, or dairy, Reporter is the only cold chain monitoring technology you'll need.
