Cold Chain Asset Monitoring and Control
Project Objective
The objective was to implement Digital Twin's Penguin+ IoT 4G edge controller and communications gateway into refrigeration units. Our solution aimed to enhance operational efficiency, enable real-time monitoring, and achieve cost savings.
Project Scope
The project encompassed the installation and deployment of our Pigeon+ device across refrigeration units that are equipped with Danfoss ERC controllers. The scope included:
Electricity
Generators
Solar Systems
Water
Wi-Fi
Fire Detection
People Counting
Location tracking via GSM triangulation or Wi-Fi
Configuration via the PigeonPlex Cloud Console for data management
Data transmission
Visualisation, monitoring/control, and alarms via our integrated dashboarding software
Project Execution
1. Design and Manufacturing
We design and manufacture all our Pigeon+ IoT edge devices with low power consumption, robust connectivity, and seamless integration with Danfoss ERC controllers, ensuring reliability and efficiency in refrigeration environments.
2. Hardware Implementation
Our team installs, configures, and tests the Pigeon+ devices across all refrigeration units, ensuring optimal performance and seamless operation.
3. Data Acquisition
We continuously collect and process real-time data from the connected devices, enabling precise monitoring and control of refrigeration units. Key data points includes location, cabinet and condenser temperature, door open/close counts, power status, etc.
4. Visualisation & Control
The real-time data seamlessly integrates into our in-house management console, where intuitive dashboards provide real-time insights, including temperature readings, system statuses, historical trends, alerts, and reports for proactive decision-making.
