Temperature monitoring | TEMO
Storing bulk and piece goods involves risks. Smoldering, temperature development, and hotspots can lead to product loss, safety incidents, or fire. Regular physical inspections are costly and not always safe. Control Union manages these risks through temperature and condition monitoring. We provide insight into temperature development, detect deviations early, and support targeted follow-up actions. This prevents escalation, enhances safety, lowers inspection costs, and most importantly: preserves cargo quality.
Grip on smoldering before risks escalate
Common cargoes include wood pellets, wood products, and agriproducts stored for longer periods, indoors or outdoors. Based on product, storage, and accessibility, we determine the right monitoring method. At Control Union, we deliver independent monitoring without commercial interests in storage or goods flows.
Protect stored cargo with continuous control, insight, and certainty
Continuous monitoring replaces manual rounds
Automated sensors eliminate weekly handheld meter inspections and provide uninterrupted data instead of snapshots.
Less personnel exposure in high-risk storage
Products like wood pellets deplete oxygen in enclosed spaces. Installed sensors measure conditions without staff entering hazardous areas.
Meeting insurance requirements for risky cargoes
Insurers of storage facilities increasingly demand documented oversight of sensitive cargo. An automated temperature logging system meets this cost-effectively.
Focused on condition, not quality
Temperature monitoring tracks physical condition and signals if cargo runs hot or cold. Lab quality parameters remain a separate discipline for clear assessments.
Flexible methods for any storage layout
For dense or outdoor storage, drones with FLIR cameras scan large areas and locate hotspots unreachable by fixed sensors.
The proof to your promise
Full visibility on cargo condition
Real-time global access to temperature data enables timely intervention and keeps bulk cargo monitoring continuous and documented.
-
24/7 temperature monitoring runs on a large, flexible organization that handles peak loads and complex logistics around the clock.
-
Optional gas measurements for CO, CO₂, CH₄, and H₂ add an extra detection layer for self-ignition risks in enclosed storage.
-
All temperature trends, alerts, and sensor values converge on one platform, offering cargo owners and insurers a single verifiable record.
