Mainfreight Wharf Cartage Reefer Runner Solution

Finding the right wharf cartage provider is key to maintaining the validity and stability of temperature in the cold chain. Many wharf cartage providers currently depend on either manual checks to monitor Refrigerated Containers, commonly referred to as reefers. However, these methods leave room for human error and can lead to significant financial losses. 

To address these challenges, we have invested in a solution known as the Reefer Runner. This portable device connects directly to a reefer container’s data port, enabling real-time monitoring and providing visibility throughout the cold chain process. One of the standout features of the Reefer Runner is its alarm system, which allows for immediate alerts in the event of temperature discrepancies or emergencies. This proactive approach helps ensure that any issues can be addressed swiftly, minimising the risk of spoilage.

This automated approach provides peace of mind, knowing that the integrity of the freight is being prioritised around the clock.

  2. Online Visibility and Historical Temperature Reporting: The Reefer Runner offers not only real-time access to temperature data but also comprehensive historical reporting. This historical data can be crucial for compliance purposes, quality control, and making informed decisions for future shipments. The ability to analyse past performance further improves the cold chain process, leading to better logistics strategies and improved outcomes.

  3. Elimination of Manual Checks: Traditional methods that rely on human checks, especially during weekends and public holidays, represent a significant vulnerability in cold chain logistics. These manual processes can be inconsistent and prone to errors.
