Cold Chain & Intralogistics — time out of temperature, measured
The KPI that matters is how long product spends outside its required temperature-controlled environment. Fogsphere correlates door state, dwell and IoT temperature into one number per pallet, bay and shift.
Safety
Forklift and pedestrian interaction, stacking stability and blocked aisles across the store.
Security
Unauthorised cold-room access and doors held open on controlled areas.
Operational Intelligence
Door-open duration, product dwell and time out of temperature per pallet, bay and shift.
How Fogsphere sees a cold store and dock
A live operations layer on top of the cameras already covering your cold rooms, aisles and loading bays.
Key use cases
What Fogsphere measures across cold rooms, aisles, docks and staging.
Forklift and pedestrian interaction
Stacking and pallet stability
Blocked aisles and staging congestion
Unauthorised cold-room access
Door-open duration
Reefer loading and unloading
Cold-room and freezer conditions
Product dwell outside refrigeration
Time-out-of-temperature KPI
Doors, dwell and the excursions in between
Cold-room and freezer conditions
Cold-room and freezer temperature from LoRaWAN sensors, correlated with the visual events that explain an excursion.
Door-open duration
Door-open duration and door-left-open alerts on cold rooms, freezers and blast chillers, with the operator action that followed.
Unauthorised cold-room access
Access to temperature-controlled storage outside plan, and product left outside refrigeration after a pick.
Product dwell outside refrigeration
Pallet exposure duration on the dock, staging dwell and loading-bay exposure time per consignment.
Reefer loading and unloading
Refrigerated truck loading and unloading, reefer arrival and departure, and cold-chain break detection at the interface.
Time-out-of-temperature KPI
A single KPI — time product spends outside its required environment — reported by SKU, bay, shift and carrier.
Forklifts, aisles, docks and stacks
Forklift movement
Forklift tracking and utilisation, speed, wrong-way movement and restricted-zone violations.
Forklift and pedestrian interaction
Forklift-pedestrian proximity and near-miss events in aisles, at blind corners and around the dock edge.
Stacking and pallet stability
Unsafe stacking and pallet instability detected before a rack or stack is loaded further.
Blocked aisles and staging congestion
Blocked aisles, staging-area congestion and empty-pallet accumulation, flagged by zone.
Dock and trailer performance
Loading-bay occupancy, dock utilisation, truck turnaround, trailer dwell and queue length.
Storage accuracy
Wrong pallet location, incorrect storage and cold-storage movements, correlated with WMS records.
A physical inventory digital twin
Arrivals and counts
Raw-material and packaging-material arrivals, pallet counts, container counts and finished-goods movement.
Occupancy and buffer
Warehouse occupancy, buffer stock and inventory dwell time by zone.
Line-side inventory
WIP visibility, material staging, line-side inventory, empty-container availability, material shortages and incorrect material at line.
FIFO, FEFO and dispatch
FIFO and FEFO process support and dispatch readiness, built from vision, AIoT and your ERP or WMS together.
