For chilled and frozen food and drink delivery fleets
A record from dock to drop, for every compartment
For UK-only deliveries, the evidence your customer or EHO wants is the journey record: pre-cool, loading time and each compartment's temperature. We fit Bluetooth sensors in each compartment, read them through the vehicle tracker, and put the journey on the same record as your cold store.
- Chilled, frozen and multi-temperature vehicles
- Driver alerts when the load leaves its limits
- Traceable or UKAS calibration for every sensor we supply (UKAS accredited calibration laboratory No. 10723 for temperature)

What your customer, auditor or EHO asks
Hygiene law, the frozen rules, ATP and BRCGS
BRCGS clause numbers are checked against the published standards; the wording is paraphrased.
- Reg. 852/2004 Annex II Ch. IV
Hold it and let it be monitored
Vehicles and containers able to keep food at appropriate temperatures and allow those temperatures to be monitored, with effective separation between loads.
Read the guide - FSHR Sch. 4 para. 5
Moving between store and vehicle
In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, chilled food may be above 8 °C 'for a limited period only' while it is transferred between premises and a vehicle. The burden of proof is yours. Scotland has no such defence.
Read the guide - QFF Regs 2007, Reg. 37/2005
Quick-frozen loads
−18 °C, with brief rises in transport never warmer than −15 °C. EN 12830 recording instruments in the vehicle and at least a year of dated records; local distribution may use an easily visible thermometer instead.
Read the guide - ATP
International journeys only
Equipment classes and food temperatures where loading and unloading are in two different states. A UK-only fleet doesn't need ATP certificates, though many customers specify ATP-class vehicles.
Read the guide - BRCGS S&D 5.4
Storage and Distribution fleets
Vehicles validated in all weather at minimum and maximum load, load-space temperature recorded automatically (or by recorded manual checks where there is no such equipment), pre-cooling verified, and drivers alerted when the load leaves its limits.
Read the guide - BRCGS Food Safety 4.16.3
Manufacturers' own transport
Temperature-controlled transport holds product within specification at minimum and maximum load, shown by data loggers or by records of refrigeration operation.

What we monitor
Each compartment as its own store
Every compartment
Chilled and frozen compartments each with their own sensor, limit and alarm, whether the load is chilled food, dairy, drinks or frozen.
Doors on multi-drop routes
Door status from the Eye sensors, so a long drop shows up on the record with the temperature it caused.
Location and route
Where each vehicle is and where it has been, so a reading always has a place and a time.
Trailers and swap bodies
Battery asset trackers for trailers and containers that spend time away from a tractor unit.
How JTF helps
A tracker on the vehicle, a sensor in each compartment
Eye sensors read temperature, humidity and doors in each compartment and report through the vehicle tracker, so there is no wiring to the load space. The Eye sensor comes in an EN 12830 variant; ask us for its documents if you carry quick-frozen food.

Questions
What people in your sector ask us
Do UK-only fleets need ATP?
No. ATP applies where loading and unloading are in two different states. UK-only deliveries follow hygiene law, 853/2004 for approved meat, the quick-frozen rules and your customer's specification, and many customers specify ATP-class vehicles anyway.
What should the driver alert be set to?
Our recommendation: log every compartment every 5 minutes on the road, with a driver alert when the load space has been outside its limit for more than 10 minutes, longer only where door-open recovery data justify it. For frozen loads, alert when the air has been warmer than −15 °C for more than 15 minutes.
Is a refrigeration unit record enough?
It depends on the standard. BRCGS Food Safety 4.16.3 accepts records of refrigeration operation; Storage and Distribution 5.4.2 asks for load-space recording, or recorded manual checks where there is no such equipment. A sensor in the load space meets both.
Will alarms go off at the depot or at every drop?
Each vehicle has its own alarm limits and delays. A vehicle's alarms can be held while it is parked off duty inside a set location, such as its depot or a driver's home, and each alarm has a delay set from door-open recovery, so a normal drop is recorded without paging anyone.
Can customers see the data behind a delivery?
Yes. Journey records are logged as the vehicles run, so you can show a customer the temperature of their load from dispatch to delivery, and Sematics can pass the data to your delivery or proof-of-delivery system through its API.
