dc.description.abstract | The aim of this study is to build a
system and device prototype to monitoring
temperature of cold chain transportation. The
device use Arduino open source microcontroller
platform as the basis. The data of the temperature
stored inside SD card as a log file to report the
temperature history during transportation. The
device will transmit warning to drivers and related
stakeholders. Warning activity occurred if the
fluctuation of the container temperature reach or
exceed temperature upper threshold. When the
warning activity occurred, the device that
connected through GSM network will send
notification message to the related stakeholders
and turn on warning lamp inside driver's cockpit.
Several performance tests were done, including
basic feature test, recording test, and
transportation simulation test. The advantages of
this device are open source, easy to modify and
duplicate, inexpensive, easy to save the log files,
and responsive. The disadvantages of this device
are needed power supply and GSM network signal. | id |
