Refrigerated vehicle kit, 1 vehicle
Temperature of the refrigerated compartment at two points with probes in buffer bottles, door opening and GPS position of the vehicle. On-board 4G gateway powered by the vehicle, battery-powered sensors, data and alarms from the app during the delivery round.
Milesight devices
On-board 4G gateway
Sensors compliant with EN 12830
Alarms on your smartphone
Customisable kits. This is one of the Milesight LoRaWAN kits in the Smart Home Automation section. For different installations, tailor-made kits or custom automations, write to us from the contacts section.
2 temperature pointsStainless steel probes in buffer bottles, towards the refrigeration unit and towards the doors.
Compartment doorsMagnetic contact: every opening is recorded with date and time.
Vehicle positionBattery-powered GPS tracker, IP67, with position at intervals or on movement.
On-board memoryThe temperature sensors keep 4,000 readings and retransmit them when the connection returns.
What it does
- Two sensors measure the temperature of the compartment every 10 minutes, one towards the refrigeration unit and one towards the doors, and send it to the 4G gateway installed in the cab.
- The probes are immersed in buffer bottles that imitate the inertia of the product: the openings for unloading do not trigger the alarm, a failure of the refrigeration unit does.
- When the thresholds are exceeded, the notification arrives on the smartphone of whoever is at the depot and of the driver.
- The contact on the doors records every opening: at the end of the round you can see how many times and when the compartment was opened, next to the temperature curve.
- The tracker sends the GPS position at configurable intervals or when the vehicle moves: stops and routes stay in the history.
- With the vehicle stopped and the gateway off, the sensors keep recording and retransmit the readings when it is switched on again.
- The history of every trip can be consulted from a smartphone and from a PC.
For a fleet, semi-trailers and multi-temperature compartments, additional probes, 24 V vehicles, a door contact for compartments washed with a jet: describe the features of your vehicles from the contacts section and we will propose the correct configuration together with the quotation.
1Compact LoRaWAN gateway with 4G modem, in the cab, powered by the vehicle: it collects the data of the on-board sensors and sends it to the cloud with a data SIM.
2Temperature sensor with stainless steel probe in the buffer bottle. Two in the kit: one towards the refrigeration unit, one towards the doors.
3Magnetic contact on the compartment doors, mounted inside, high up.
4Battery-powered GPS tracker, IP67, fixed to the vehicle at a point with a view of the sky.
How it is installed
Gateway. In the cab, resting on a surface or on a wall, at a point sheltered from direct sunlight: behind the seats or under the dashboard, with the two antennas vertical. It is a compact indoor gateway (IP30, operation from -20 to +50 °C): it must not go in the refrigerated compartment. Power supply from a USB-C 5 V socket or from the vehicle's 12 V system with cable and fuse (input 5-12 V DC). If the socket is switched with the ignition, the gateway turns off with the ignition. Data SIM in micro format.
Temperature sensors. 50 mm stainless steel probe in the compartment, slipped into the buffer bottle after removing the inner cap, fixed with a clip high up on the wall, out of the direct flow of the evaporator. For the front point, the body of the sensor can stay in the cab, with the 1.5 m cable passing through a cable gland in the bulkhead. For the point towards the doors, the body is fixed inside the compartment, high up: it is IP67 and works from -30 to +55 °C.
Door contact. Inside the compartment, high up: sensor on the frame and magnet on the leaf, with the notched sides facing each other, no more than 20 mm apart and at no more than 20 mm of offset. Fixing with screws or double-sided tape on a clean, dry surface; the double-sided tape reaches full grip in 24 hours. It is an indoor contact, IP20, operation from -20 to +60 °C: it must be kept sheltered from washing and dripping.
Tracker. With screws, double-sided tape or cable ties at a point of the vehicle with a view of the sky, for example on the roof of the compartment or on the spoiler. IP67, operation from -30 to +70 °C. No electrical connection: it is battery-powered and talks by radio to the on-board gateway.
Configuration. Via NFC with a smartphone and the manufacturer's free app: reading intervals, thresholds, position frequency, name of the vehicle. The gateway is configured from a browser. No cables and no paid software are needed.
Documentation included. Written installation guide with positions, cable routing, power connection and power-up sequence, and initial configuration of the thresholds based on the transport temperatures indicated when ordering.

Before ordering
What SIM is needed?
A data SIM in micro format, from any operator, not included. The traffic is below 1 GB per month. For trips abroad, check the data roaming of your plan. The kit does not use Wi-Fi networks or the depot network: the gateway travels with the vehicle.
Is it suitable for 12 V vans and for 24 V trucks?
The gateway accepts 5 V from USB-C or 5-12 V DC. On 12 V vehicles it is powered from the on-board socket with the cable with fuse of the complete kit, or from a USB-C socket. On 24 V vehicles a voltage converter with a USB-C 5 V output is needed: state it from the contacts section. To have the data sent even with the ignition off, the power must be taken from a permanent positive: that is a job for an auto electrician.
Does the data count as a record of the transport temperature?
The temperature sensors are declared by the manufacturer to be compliant with EN 12830, the standard on temperature recorders for the transport and storage of food, and the history is continuous, with date and time. The declared accuracy is ±0.5 °C between -10 and +85 °C and ±2 °C below -10 °C: for frozen goods, where the vehicle's temperature recorder is mandatory, the kit works alongside it and does not replace it.
What happens with the vehicle stopped or where there is no 4G coverage?
The sensors are battery-powered and always measure, even at night with the ignition off. If the gateway is off, the readings stay in the memory of the sensors (4,000 readings, about four weeks at one every 10 minutes) and are retransmitted when it is switched on again. In areas without coverage, the notifications arrive when the signal returns. With a permanent power supply the gateway stays on and the sending continues even with the vehicle stopped.
Is the position in real time?
No. The tracker sends the position at configurable intervals or when it detects movement, and the battery life depends on this choice: over 4 years with one position an hour, over 8 with ten positions a day. It is there to know where the vehicle was at each delivery and to reconstruct stops and routes, not to follow the vehicle on the map second by second. Where GPS does not get a fix, it uses the surrounding Wi-Fi networks to estimate the position.
Does the door contact stand up to the compartment?
It is an indoor contact, IP20, with operation from -20 to +60 °C: mounted inside, high up, sheltered from water, it works in compartments for chilled goods. For compartments washed with a jet, with heavy condensation or for frozen goods at lower temperatures, ask from the contacts section for it to be replaced with an IP67 contact.
I have a fleet
The kit is for one vehicle and is repeated for each one: each has its own gateway and its own SIM. For fleets, semi-trailers, multi-temperature compartments or more doors, write to us from the contacts section indicating the number and type of vehicles: we will send you the composition and the quotation of the adapted kit.
Battery life
Temperature sensors: about 8 years with one reading every 10 minutes at 25 °C. Door contact: about 5 years. Tracker: from over 4 to over 8 years depending on the position frequency. The batteries are lithium and replaceable; the charge level is visible in the app. The gateway draws about 3 W from the vehicle.
Where is the data consulted and are there subscription fees?
On the manufacturer's app and portal, from smartphone and PC, with charts, thresholds and notifications; no fee for basic use, apart from the cost of your SIM. If there is a logistics management system or fleet software, the gateway can also send the data to that system (MQTT or HTTP): the configuration is included.
Who fits it? Are holes needed in the compartment?
You fit it yourself: sensors, contact and tracker are battery-powered and are fixed with screws, double-sided tape or cable ties. The only step to consider is routing the cable of the front probe through the bulkhead: if there is no cable gland, that sensor too is fixed inside the compartment and no hole is needed.
