Postrack offers simple and smart temperature tracking

[ January 29, 2026   //   ]

European asset tracking specialist Postrack has launched a smart temperature monitoring solution combined with battery-powered GPS tracking to deliver real-time visibility and control over sensitive shipments such as food or pharmaceuticals.

A Bluetooth sensor connects wirelessly to the battery-powered tracking unit in the trailer or container, which transmits temperature and location data to Postrack’s Cloud platform. No wired installation is needed and the EN12830-certified sensor has up to 18 years battery life. It is available in options for -40 °C to +85 °C or -80°C to +200°C temperature ranges. The solution can also be integrated with door sensors to detect unauthorised opening and incorrect operating procedures.

The Cloud platform logs and stores all data – temperature, location and events – in one place, with instant alerts if conditions go outside safe limits. It delivers full traceability and automated records for each shipment, providing a complete view of product condition at every stage of the journey.

Founder and chief executive Niclas Holm said: “During initial trials, the smart solution cut spoilage by 35% for one food producer, while a pharmaceutical company was able to prove temperature stability and ensure regulatory compliance.”

He added: “Hard-wired solutions can be very time consuming and expensive to deploy, while also impacting on the thermal performance of a container. In contrast, our long-life, low-maintenance sensors, with cable-free installation, can be self-installed within a matter of minutes and provides complete visibility of all field-based assets on a single platform, which will be particularly useful for spot hire vehicles.”
