ISO TANK Tanker Temperature Monitoring Solution

When transporting temperature-sensitive chemicals, the ambient temperature in and around the container can be accurately recorded to ensure the quality of the chemicals.

Programmatic background

ISOTANK is a stainless steel pressure vessel installed in an external frame, mainly used for transportation of liquid goods in the logistics industry. It has the advantages of being safe, environmentally friendly and, compared to traditional drums, it costs significantly less to transport the same volume of liquid cargo. These advantages have led to a rapid increase in the number of tanker trucks globally year on year. However, many tankers are currently equipped only with heating devices and do not have the ability to record temperature data throughout the transportation process. This means that there is no way to determine if overheating has occurred after the cargo has been transported to its destination. In the event of an over-temperature condition, it is likely that the customer will reject the goods, resulting in significant losses.

Therefore, in the transportation of temperature-sensitive chemicals, it is necessary to accurately record the temperature of the products in the tanker and the surrounding environment to ensure the quality of the chemicals, and it is very necessary to have a temperature monitoring system in the actual tanker transportation process.

Program Pain Points

User Requirements

  • How to ensure that the temperature is not exceeded during transportation
  • How to know when an overheating event occurs
  • How to ensure the temperature monitoring system works and alerts when the road condition is bad.

Temperature Monitoring

  • Isolation: the interior of the tank is isolated from the outside environment, making it difficult for temperature monitoring equipment to come into direct contact with the cargo.
  • Insulation: Tanks are usually well insulated, meaning that changes in internal temperature are not immediately transmitted to external surfaces, making it impossible for monitoring equipment to accurately sense changes.

External conditions

  • Mobility: Tanks are often transported in vehicles such as ships, trains, or trucks. Mobility can cause vibration and shock to the temperature monitoring equipment, which can affect its accuracy.
  • Environment: Tanks may be transported in a variety of environmental conditions such as high temperatures, low temperatures, high humidity, or inclement weather, which can affect the performance and stability of the temperature monitoring equipment.
  • Energy constraints: Tanker transportation often requires monitoring equipment with low energy consumption to ensure that it does not consume excessive power, which limits the functionality and performance of the monitoring equipment.
