Temperature and humidity excursions in cold chain logistics require rapid detection, assessment, and response to prevent product loss and regulatory violations. Manual monitoring across multiple sensor feeds, spreadsheets, and email alerts creates delays, inconsistencies, and missed events.
Automation detects excursions in real time, assesses severity automatically, notifies all stakeholders instantly, and logs incidents with full compliance documentation. Response time drops from hours to minutes, and audit readiness improves from scattered records to a centralized, immutable trail.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
Automation monitors incoming sensor data from IoT platforms and spreadsheets. When a reading breaches the configured safe range for the product and location, the workflow is triggered immediately.
The automation evaluates the duration, magnitude, product type, and historical context to assign a severity level (minor, moderate, critical) and determine the appropriate response protocol.
The automation creates a new incident record with all relevant details, including timestamp, product, location, sensor readings, severity level, and assigned owner.
Automated message is sent to the designated channel with severity level, product details, and recommended next steps. Critical excursions trigger immediate notifications to on-call managers.
Automated email is sent to warehouse manager, quality assurance, and affected customers with incident details and expected timeline for resolution, formatted according to severity.
For moderate and critical excursions, the automation flags the shipment in the logistics system and notifies the warehouse to hold the product pending further investigation.
The incident and all automated actions are logged to a centralized compliance record, creating an immutable audit trail for regulatory review.
