Project Objective
& Scope
A leading refrigeration supplier and manufacturer required a scalable solution to monitor and optimise thousands of fridges across South Africa.
Digital Twin distributed its Connected Cooler Solution, powered by the Penguin+ IoT 4G edge controller and the PigeonPlex Cloud Console.
This end-to-end system seamlessly integrates with Danfoss ERC-controlled units, enabling real-time asset tracking, condition monitoring, and performance optimisation.
Project Implementation
Our solution combines robust IoT hardware, seamless integration, and powerful cloud-based management to deliver end-to-end cold chain visibility, monitoring, and control.

Hardware Deployment
We install, configure, and rigorously test our Penguin+ device across thousands of refrigeration units, ensuring optimal performance and seamless operation at scale.
3
Real-Time Data Acquisition
We capture real-time data from the connected devices, including location, cabinet and condenser temperatures, door activity, power status, and more - enabling advanced monitoring and control of refrigeration units.
4
Visualisation & Control
The data integrates into our in-house management console, where intuitive dashboards provide real-time insights, temperature readings, system statuses, historical trends, alerts, and reports for proactive data-driven decision-making.
