The Challenge
OmniRoute was facing significant financial losses due to “temperature excursions”—instances where cargo spoiled because a cooling unit failed mid-transit without the driver knowing. Their reliance on manual check-ins and passive data loggers meant they only discovered spoilage after the delivery was made.
Furthermore, inefficient routing was driving up fuel costs. They needed a way to visualize their entire fleet in real-time and receive instant alerts on vehicle health and cargo temperature to prevent losses before they happened.
What did
EGDigital do
We approached this as a dual-layered IoT and Big Data challenge.
IoT Sensor Integration: We developed firmware to interface with cellular IoT sensors installed in every trailer, transmitting temperature, humidity, and location data every 30 seconds.
Live Command Center: We built a centralized Angular-based dashboard that displays the live status of every truck.
Predictive Alerting Engine: Using Python and machine learning, we built an alert system that notifies fleet managers if a cooling unit shows signs of struggle (e.g., slow temperature rise) before it fails, allowing for proactive maintenance or vehicle swaps.
The Results
- $2 Million saved in prevented cargo spoilage within the first year.
- 18% reduction in monthly fuel costs via dynamic route optimization.
- Real-time visibility achieved for 100% of the active fleet.
