Emerson announced today at the London Produce Show 2022 the release of GO real-time 4G/5G-LT. It is the latest addition to its full complement of trackers that monitor perishable shipments in real-time, which is critical to preserving quality and maximizing food safety. This release features the latest generation of 4G/5G Cat-M network technologies and was specifically designed for monitoring wider temperature ranges including those required for frozen perishable items. With a useful battery life of more than 60 days, it is also suitable for use in a variety of applications including longer sea container trips.

Extended temperature range
The supply chain has recently experienced a surge in global shipments of refrigerated and frozen perishable items including vegetables, ice cream, frozen poultry, meat and other proteins at frozen temperatures between -10 and -30C. The new GO real-time 4G/5G-LT tracker series addresses this important market segment and although it is optimized for colder temperatures, the 4G/5G LT will also work well for medium temperature fresh produce up to 60°C.
“Disruptions to the supply chain have the potential to impact the perishable shipment market,” said Doug Thurston with Emerson. “We continue to see how weather events, rising gas prices, aging tractor trailers, and trucker shortages can cause strains on perishable shipments. The ability to monitor the condition of these shipments in real time is more important than ever,” he added.
In-transit conditions
GO real-time 4G/5G-LT trackers can monitor in-transit conditions such as temperature, location, light and humidity. Three model variants are available and are suitable for shorter over-the-road shipments, longer international shipments and applications requiring the reuse of the same device for closed-loop scenarios. All trackers can be configured to notify users in real-time via text or email if any adverse conditions arise during shipment. “It is our goal to help providers ensure product freshness and safety when it reaches consumers.”
“Emerson is committed to developing products and services to fit the market need,” said Amy Childress, vice president marketing and sales, cargo for Emerson’s cold chain business. “With improved location accuracy built upon emerging 4G/5G global networks and optimized battery performance at frozen temperatures, our customers can rest assured that visibility to their perishable shipments will be available when they need it most.”
Customers can easily access the online Oversight dashboard or Oversight mobile applications to track their shipments from start to finish.
