This is Cargovate. This shipment is a chilled container of fresh garlic from Shanghai, and it has to stay between zero and seven degrees.
Open Trackers, and register the temperature tracker travelling in the container. Link it to the shipment, and choose the range its readings must stay within.
The tracker gets its own key, shown only once. Cargovate accepts this tracker's readings only with that key.
In this demo, a test tracker reports in, the same way a real one does. Each position it sends appears on the shipment's map.
Every reading is checked against the range the moment it arrives. When the temperature reaches 9.4 °C, an alert is raised straight away, while the container is still moving.
The alert says what happened in plain words: the reading, the tracker, and the range it left. It links straight to the shipment.
Once someone has dealt with it, they resolve it. The audit trail records who resolved it, and when.
