Digital Transformation of Cold Chain Logistics at Transport Logistic 2025: T Comm Embraces Digitalization
T Comm Telematics is set to showcase its latest developments in temperature and asset management for road freight transport at the Transport Logistic in Munich from June 2 to 5, 2025. The company will premiere the solar unit TCD100/S and the asset tracking unit TCD100/2, which are designed to provide end-to-end cold chain visibility and proactive risk management.
The complete solution offered by T Comm Telematics includes wireless sensors, a base unit, and a web portal for centralized monitoring. The driver app, available for Android and iOS, is part of the provider's modular telematics solution.
Key Features of the T Comm App
The T Comm app offers several key features aimed at ensuring product quality, regulatory compliance, and fleet efficiency. These include:
- Near real-time temperature monitoring: Continuous, up-to-date cargo temperature visibility enables quick response to fluctuations or equipment issues to prevent spoilage.
- Multi-zone support: Monitoring of multiple temperature zones within a single shipment, often integrated directly with refrigeration units, without requiring extra sensors.
- Proactive and customizable alerts: Immediate notifications about temperature excursions, equipment malfunctions, or door openings to reduce risk and optimize maintenance.
- Remote control capabilities: Adjustment of temperature setpoints and clearing of alarms remotely on supported refrigeration units, ensuring swift corrective action from anywhere.
- Environmental monitoring: Humidity sensors and door opening detection to enhance cold chain integrity and dispute resolution.
- Regulatory compliance support: Automated logging and audit-ready data storage for standards like FDA FSMA, GDP, GMP, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11; tamper-proof, encrypted data ensuring integrity and traceability.
- Comprehensive dashboards and reporting: Interactive graphs, maps, and digital records enabling analysis of trends, proof of compliance, and operational optimization.
Compatibility and Integration
These solutions integrate with:
- Refrigeration units from major OEMs such as Carrier, Thermo King, and others, allowing direct telematics and temperature data access.
- Various environmental sensors that can be installed within trailers with wireless connectivity for multi-point monitoring.
- Fleet management platforms and dashboards to consolidate asset tracking, temperature data, and vehicle telematics in one interface.
In terms of integration with existing systems, these apps and devices typically connect with telematics and fleet management systems to deliver consolidated operational visibility and control. They use IoT sensors and hardware that support standardized data transmission protocols, facilitating cloud-based dashboards accessible across devices and locations.
Benefits for Logistics Companies and Drivers
Carsten Holtrup, Country Manager at T Comm Telematics, states that the app provides all necessary data in real-time, creating the basis for rapid intervention in the event of critical deviations. The focus of T Comm's presentation is on digital applications designed to ease the daily workload of driving personnel and logistics companies.
T Comm positions itself as a leading provider of temperature management solutions in the refrigerated transport sector. The goal is to seamlessly secure the cold chain not only during transport but also in storage areas. The installation of both units is tool-free and completed in a few minutes.
In addition, T Comm also presents a solution that allows temperature data to be read directly via a QR code during unloading. A QR code is affixed to the outside of the trailer, which can be scanned with any mobile device to display the current temperature data.
By offering real-time tracking, proactive alerts, and robust compatibility with major refrigeration OEMs and sensors, T Comm's solutions aim to optimize operations, ensure compliance, and protect sensitive cargo effectively. The systems are based on wireless sensor technology and can be integrated into existing business processes through open standards.
