Cold chain monitoring today is either manual or patchy
USB data loggers are reliable temperature recorders. The cost isn't the device, it's the workflow: prepare, activate, place at dispatch; at delivery, retrieve, download, log into QA. Across thousands of shipments, that's hours per delivery and a missed logger means a lost record. Cellular trackers automate the upload at higher cost per unit, with their own coverage gaps.
One Tag, every reading
Single-use disposable labels; peel-and-stick at dispatch, temperature data flowing into Track as the shipment moves through your team's coverage. Reusable logging Classic Tags handle the harder journeys: real-time data when in coverage, offline capture when out of range. One device covers what cellular and USB loggers do separately, at a workable per-unit cost. Coverage gaps don't mean data gaps.
Every frontline device running Blecon Agent becomes a tracking agent. Signals flow into Blecon Track in real time as goods move through your operation. The receiving team just unloads.
Real-time alerts fire wherever a tracking agent is in range. The full record arrives in Track either way.
What you'd deploy
Three components: Tags in shipments, Agent on your team's existing devices, rules in Track.
Peel-and-stick disposable Label Tag with onboard temperature sensor. 90-day lifetime, disposed with the packaging at delivery. For single-use cold shipments where Agent coverage along the route gives sufficient data points. Replaces the USB logger workflow at a comparable cost per shipment, with the data arriving in Track instead of needing manual download.
L02S-BCN
Reusable IP67 Classic Tag with onboard temperature, humidity, motion and pressure sensors. Multi-year lifetime, returned and reused across cycles. Logs sensor data on-board when out of coverage and uploads the full record on return. For higher-value shipments, long-haul lanes with coverage gaps and operations where the same containers cycle between sites.
Blecon Agent
Software on the frontline devices your team already carries. Each frontline device becomes a tracking agent, capturing tag signals as it moves. No new infrastructure to install.
Configure rules for temperature breaches, customer-site dwell, route deviations and return-to-base. Alerts route in-app, by email or to your QA or incident-management system via webhooks.
Where this fits in cold chain
Cold chain has many shapes. Where Blecon fits:
Disposable TL05-BCN labels on shipments where the packaging is discarded at delivery and the journey doesn't return. Fresh produce, short-shelf-life food, parcel-level pharma, one-way frozen deliveries. Per-shipment trail, no logger retrieval.
Reusable cold containers
L02S-BCN Classic Tags on containers that cycle between sites. Frozen and chilled distribution, meat, poultry and dairy in returnable insulated containers, cold storage operations across multiple warehouses. Multi-year service life, with condition data across every cycle.
Long-haul and out-of-coverage journeys
L02S-BCN with logging for journeys that go beyond Agent coverage; sea freight, cross-border road haulage, long-distance produce. Sensor data captured on-board, full record uploaded on return.
What changes in your operation
The receiving team unloads as normal. Data has already arrived in Track during the journey, not at the end of the day.
Operations works from Blecon Track. Each shipment builds its temperature record live. When a tag is in coverage, a temperature excursion fires an alert in time to act. When out of coverage, the excursion is captured on the tag and uploads as soon as it's back in range, closing the audit trail.
The compliance file builds itself. Every shipment, every leg, in Track.
