WIRELESS MOBILE TEMPERATURE DATA LOGGER
OCEASOFT developed the Cobalt ML3 solution to meet challenges in the transport industry. Cobalt ML3, a LoRaWAN wireless mobile temperature data logger, manages traceability during product logistics phases, leveraging specialized long-range wireless technology. The Cobalt ML3 solution collects temperature data and transfers the information to a secure cloud platform via a network of receivers using the LoRaWan protocol. Cobalt ML3 can also use the public network to upload geolocation information about a container or vehicle.
