Condition monitoring for warehouses and logistics

Temperature and humidity from the dock to high-bay racking, cold room doors, refrigeration energy and after-hours movement — with alerts and audit-ready history.

Warehouse hall with high-bay racking covered by condition monitoring

Sound familiar?

The cold chain breaks quietly

A break in the cold chain surfaces only at goods issue or a customer complaint. By then nobody can prove when and where the conditions slipped.

A huge hall, one measuring point

Conditions at the dock, in the picking zone and under the roof differ by several degrees. One thermometer from a walk-round doesn't describe the hall — and the customer asks about a specific rack.

Cold room doors open too long

A gate after unloading, freezer doors ajar — every minute leaks energy and puts stock at risk. Without a sensor nobody records it.

After-hours movement without a trace

High-risk zones — alcohol, electronics, medicines — sometimes get visited outside shifts. Without presence detection you learn about it at stocktaking.

How Nextriv solves it

A sensor grid across the whole hall

Deploy Sense Industrial (IP67, operation from −30 °C, EN 12830 certified) zone by zone; long-range radio ties dozens of measuring points to a single gateway.

Four thresholds and escalations until resolved

Warning and critical thresholds per metric, events with ALM codes and escalation policies that push the alarm to further people until someone reacts.

Doors and gates under control

Sense Contact detects a cold room door opening while measuring temperature and humidity — three measurements from one device on the door leaf.

After-hours presence

Sense Motion reports movement in closed zones outside shifts — a simple “someone entered” signal reaches security through the same channels as temperature alerts.

Refrigeration energy supervised

Control Plug meters the kWh draw of refrigeration equipment and alarms on power loss — rising consumption exposes a compressor due for service before it fails.

Audit-ready measurement history

Raw data for up to 5 years, XLSX/CSV export and PDF reports with a compliance section and SHA-256 signature — proof for customers and auditors.

High-bay freezer: −18 °C starts to melt away

The rule combines temperature with a door sensor, and the escalation walks the alarm up the ladder — from the foreman to maintenance — with a full event trail.

If
The freezer sensor reports −14 °C (above the −15 °C warning threshold) and Sense Contact shows the chamber door open for over ten minutes.
Then
The platform opens an event with an ALM code, sends a web push and an email to the shift foreman, and the in-app siren sounds at the dispatcher's station.
Escalation 1
After 10 minutes without acknowledgement, the escalation sends an SMS to the warehouse manager.
Escalation 2
When the −12 °C critical threshold is crossed, the event escalates to critical severity and the “maintenance” group gets an SMS and an MS Teams notification.
Escalation 3
If the event is still unresolved, a webhook automatically opens a ticket in the service desk system — with the ALM code and measurement history.

Compliance and standards

HACCP

Continuous temperature and humidity records in food storage zones support HACCP control point documentation in warehousing and distribution.

EN 12830

Sense Industrial and the Probe family loggers are EN 12830 certified — the standard for temperature recorders in transport and storage.

GDP

For warehouses handling medicinal products: continuous condition records, alarms, calibration with reminders and a 5-year audit trail support Good Distribution Practice requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Will the sensors survive a freezer at −25 °C?

Yes. Sense Industrial operates from −30 °C and has a sealed, food-grade IP67 housing. In deep freezers a Probe family variant also works well: the transmitter mounts outside the chamber with only the probe inside — reliable connectivity despite metal walls and low temperatures.

Is the radio range enough in a hall with high-bay racking?

Sensors connect to the gateway over long-range radio (up to ~2 km in built-up areas, ~15 km in open terrain) which handles obstacles well. One gateway usually covers an entire hall; the platform watches connectivity continuously and flags a gateway offline after 15 minutes and a sensor after twice its reporting interval.

How do I document storage conditions for an auditor or customer?

Raw measurement history is available for up to 5 years (a full year already on the free plan), with XLSX/CSV export. You also get PDF reports with a compliance section, statistics and an SHA-256 signature with a QR code — a document whose authenticity the auditor can verify online.

Will I detect someone entering a warehouse zone after hours?

Yes. Sense Motion reports movement and Sense Contact a door opening — both events can trigger an alert rule notifying security (email, SMS, web push, Teams, Discord) with escalation if nobody acknowledges. The event history stays in the system.

How many sensors does a 5000 m² hall need?

It depends on the number of zones and customer requirements — typically one measuring point per temperature zone, chamber and dock area. The FREE plan (10 sensors, 1 gateway) covers a single-zone pilot; then you add slots (sensor PLN 100 net, gateway PLN 1000 net) or move to PRO with no limits.
