New service options transform and leverage billions of sensor data points to enable better cold chain decisions
Emerson announced it is launching new premium monitoring services for its Oversight cargo services platform, transforming billions of aggregated sensor data points from GO loggers and trackers into insights customers can utilize to manage their cold chain more effectively.
The cold chain is complex and comprised of various carriers, vendors, and third-party distributors, with thousands of pallets being distributed each day. The common question over the last decade is how to better interpret and utilize all of the data points collected from devices to enable better overarching supply chain decisions. Instead of reviewing and reacting to individual trips and alerts, companies can now identify trends from months and years of data through the new Oversight Cargo Services offering and potentially minimize or mitigate these occurrences from occurring in the future.
“Along this journey to proactive cold chain management insights, many discover weaknesses in their capabilities, of which they may not have been previously aware. Overarching professional cold chain management software and services can deliver a full range of services to fill in the gaps and shore up capabilities.”
– Juliette Giles, senior product manager, software and services, cold chain for Emerson
