BlueCold® for long-haul transport
Reliable, continuous temperature data for your refrigerated tours.
Adapted to temperature-controlled transport fleets, BlueCold® automatically and securely collects all temperature data along the route. The data is compliant, interoperable and ready to be integrated into your business tools.
Long-distance transport: the need for continuous traceability
Tougher regulations, multi-lane routes, 24/7 deliveries: long-distance transport requires perfect temperature control every kilometer of the way. Carriers need to guarantee permanent compliance of readings and immediate availability of data.
Historical systems based on GPS boxes and heavy wiring are now showing their limits: inflexible, costly to install and maintain, and often difficult to interface with business IS.
With BlueCold® and the ELA Mobile Gateway application, traceability remains complete without the addition of an on-board GPS unit: the driver’s smartphone acts as a mobile gateway, automatically collecting data from Bluetooth sensors and uploading them to the cloud as soon as connectivity is available. This eliminates the main obstacle to cold chain traceability: the installation and maintenance of dedicated GPS units.
Move from complexity to continuity with BlueCold®.
Discover how BlueCold® simplifies the management of long-distance refrigerated transport, combining reliability, mobility and regulatory compliance.
Without BlueCold
Complex installation: wiring, GPS units, maintenance
Temperature sensors not robust
Data fragmented by vehicle or route
Risk of data loss in the event of power failure
Audits and standards hard to follow
Difficult and costly integration

Does the driver have to take any action during transport?
No. The ELA Mobile Gateway application runs in the background on his phone. He has nothing to do and can concentrate on his tour.
Is it possible to link several sensors to one piece of equipment?
Yes, to simplify data analysis, you can make this association. To do this, you need to create an “asset” from one of several asset types (isothermal box, cold room, vehicle, other). You can then assign one or more sensors to this asset and indicate the position where it has been installed.
What if there's no network during the driver's tour?
The ELA Mobile Gateway application continuously checks network availability. If the network is unavailable, it logs all data and automatically resends this data as soon as the connection is re-established.
What happens if the driver leaves his post for a few minutes or hours?
BlueCold sensors store historical temperature data. The ELA Mobile Gateway application retrieves all the data as soon as the driver returns to his workstation, ensuring continuity of temperature data.
Can I clean the sensors installed in a trailer?
Yes, the sensors are IP69K-certified, meaning they are impervious to cleaning by high-pressure cleaners.
Is it possible to link several sensors to one piece of equipment?
Yes, to simplify data analysis, you can make this association. To do this, you need to create an “asset” from one of several asset types (isothermal box, cold room, vehicle, other). You can then assign one or more sensors to this asset and indicate the position where it has been installed.
