For fleets carrying food, drink and medicines
Telematics built around the temperature of the load
Vehicle tracking, cameras, load temperature, doors and portable boxes on one platform, alongside your stores and depots. Each vehicle has its own alarm limits and delays, set from its own door-open data, with alarms held while it is parked off duty at a set location such as a depot, and the data reaches your delivery and proof-of-delivery systems through the Sematics API.
- Vehicle tracking, cameras and driver safety alerts
- Van, trailer, compartment and box temperatures, with door sensors
- Traceable or UKAS calibration for every sensor we supply (UKAS accredited calibration laboratory No. 10723 for temperature)

What your customers and inspectors ask
The rules a temperature-controlled journey answers to
Food and medicines have different rules on the road. Both ask whether the load stayed in range and whether you can prove it.
- Reg. 852/2004 Annex II Ch. IV
Food vehicles
Vehicles and containers able to keep food at appropriate temperatures and allow those temperatures to be monitored.
Read the guide - Reg. 37/2005
Quick-frozen loads
EN 12830 recording instruments in the means of transport, with at least a year of dated records. Local distribution may use an easily visible thermometer instead (Article 3).
Read the guide - BRCGS S&D 5.4
Storage and Distribution fleets
Vehicles validated at minimum and maximum load, load-space temperature recorded, pre-cooling verified, and drivers alerted when the load leaves its limits.
Read the guide - EU GDP 9.2
Medicines in transit
Delivery routes risk-assessed, transport monitoring equipment calibrated at least once a year, and excursions reported to the distributor and the recipient.

What we monitor
The vehicle, the load and the driver
Vehicle tracking
Continuous GPS location, speed and ignition, with geofences, route history, driver eco scores and fuel estimates.
Load temperature and doors
Bluetooth Eye sensors in vans, trailers and compartments for temperature, humidity and door status, reporting through the vehicle tracker.
Cameras and driver safety
Road and driver cameras on the camera-enabled tracker, with alerts, depending on the cameras fitted, for harsh driving, drowsiness, phone use, lane departure and forward collision.
Trailers, containers and boxes
Battery asset trackers for trailers, containers and cages, plus Coldtainer active cold boxes and Medibox medicine transport boxes, tracked door to door.
How JTF helps
Trackers, cameras and sensors for every kind of load
A hard-wired or plug-in tracker on each vehicle, Bluetooth Eye sensors in each compartment, cameras where you want evidence, and battery trackers for anything without power. Everything reports to the same Sematics record as your stores and depots.
OBD tracker
GPS tracker that plugs into the OBD II port in seconds.

Questions
What people in your sector ask us
Will a door opened at every drop set off an alarm?
No. Each alarm has its own delay, set from that vehicle's door-open recovery, so a normal drop is recorded without paging anyone and a door left open still alerts. A vehicle's alarms can also be held while it is inside its depot geofence.
Can it connect to our delivery or proof-of-delivery system?
Sematics integrates with delivery and proof-of-delivery systems through its REST and GraphQL APIs and signed webhooks, so readings, alarms and journey data can reach the systems your drivers and office already use. Tell us which system you use and we'll say what works today.
Does the driver see the alarm?
Alarms go to the people you choose, in the order you set, by SMS, voice call, email or app push, and the driver can be one of them. Escalation carries on until someone acknowledges.
How are vehicle sensors calibrated without taking vehicles off the road?
With wireless sensors, calibrated sensors and probes are swapped in minutes, so the vehicle keeps working while its own are calibrated. Calibration for every sensor we supply: traceable to national standards as standard, or UKAS accredited where you need it (temperature in our own UKAS accredited calibration laboratory No. 10723). See the logistics case study.
Can we see vehicles and depots together?
Yes. Trackers and fixed sensors report to the same Sematics record, with the same alarms, incidents and reports, so a load's record runs from the store to the drop.
