Technical Bulletin: Temperature Indicator Labels for Climate-Resilient Transport and Cold Chain Monitoring

The global transport sector is facing a growing thermal management challenge. As climate change drives more frequent and more intense heatwaves across all major freight and passenger transport corridors, the temperatures experienced by temperature-sensitive goods, vehicle components, and transport infrastructure are increasing. Conventional monitoring approaches that were calibrated for historical climate conditions are increasingly being stressed by the new reality of extreme heat events — and

Monitoring Refrigerated Cargo with Temperature Indicating Labels: Cold Chain Guide

Refrigerated cargo — fresh produce, chilled and frozen meat, dairy products, pharmaceutical goods, vaccines, and temperature-sensitive chemicals — moves through supply chains that span multiple modes of transport, multiple handling environments, and often multiple countries. Every transfer point in this chain is a potential excursion event: a moment where the product moves from a controlled cold environment to an ambient one, and temperature begins to rise. Monitoring that exposure is not a luxu
