Critical Monitoring for High-Value Cargo

For temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, food products, chemicals, and high-tech components, Asset Twin provides continuous condition monitoring that catches quality issues before they impact customers. When a refrigerated container shows cooling system fluctuations, Asset Twin alerts you with exactly which shipments and customer orders are affected, giving you time to intervene before product integrity is compromised.
