Temperature and humidity sensors are essential for monitoring cargo conditions in trucks, particularly when transporting perishable or sensitive goods like food, pharmaceuticals, or electronics. Proper placement of these sensors is crucial to ensure accurate readings and maintain the quality of the cargo. For refrigerated trucks or trailers, sensors are typically installed inside the refrigerated compartment. Placing sensors near the center of the cargo area provides an overall accurate measurement of the conditions. This ensures that readings are not overly influenced by hot or cold air coming from the cooling unit.
If the truck carries goods prone to moisture damage, like electronics or textiles, placing the humidity sensors near the most sensitive parts of the load is recommended. For even more accurate data, sensors can be distributed across different sections of the cargo area to monitor temperature and humidity levels in various zones. It is equally important to mount the sensors securely to avoid displacement during transit. Ensuring they are away from vents or direct airflow prevents misleading readings.
TruckX provides advanced monitoring solutions that integrate temperature and humidity sensors with GPS tracking. This real-time data allows fleet managers to monitor cargo conditions remotely and receive alerts if readings exceed safe levels. By using TruckX’s solutions, fleets can ensure the safety of their cargo, meet regulatory standards, and maintain customer trust. Accurate sensor placement combined with TruckX’s technology helps deliver reliable performance every time.
