Many aspects of the Cargo Tracking Solution and particularly for security and safety of cargo transport application have been tested and verified by EPA EVT program.
The U.S. EPA Environmental Technology Verification Program (ETV) provides credible performance data for innovative commercial-ready environmental technologies to help speed their implementation for the benefit of purchasers, permit holders, vendors, and the public. Additional information is available on the ETV Web Site at www.epa.gov/etv
Whenever any exceptions inside the refrigerated container or refrigerated warehouse occurs, a real-time alerts of locations and conditions are provided to those that can provide possible corrective actions in vaccines, pharmaceutical and perishable food supply chain:
- ZONER™ tags transmit temperature data and other conditions to the exterior monitoring RELAYER™ readers equipped with GPRS and/or satellite communication links for real-time alerts of exceptions and/or intrusion.
- Automatic and real-time phone alerts of any exceptions for possible corrective actions. Phone and text messaging are used for real-time alerts of any exceptions and potential damage.
- ZONER™ personnel badges worn by driver and staff associated with specific shipment provide unparalleled accountability.
- Ability to alert the management and the onsite drivers or transportation workers in real-time of any exceptions and problems that are ACTIONABLE may help to prevent damage to the valuable products.
- Web-based real-time reporting of all position-time (route and geo-fencing), temperature and moisture exceptions, shock and other exceptions, and opening of storage with or without proper personnel are unique to the AVANTE solution.
- All realtime data is also saved, including intrusion and tampering events, and can be downloaded at the receiving end into a complete audit trail database.
- All electronic data and indicators are supplemental to the human visual alerts and labels.
- All data are captured and stored in FIFO cyclic internal flash memory as backup and additional documentation. The same attribution and accountability of responsibility still exists and on top of any corrective actions that may or may not have been carried out.
- All RELAYER™ communication links include GPS data for real-time end-to-end cold chain transportation visibility.
