Abstract
Monitoring and reporting of the temperature and/or other conditions of perishable and/or temperature sensitive products during transportation and storage is described. A system for wireless temperature monitoring can be carried out at a box level, but can provide information at a finer granularity than box-level. For temperature monitoring, the box (or other container) can be configured with a plurality of temperature sensors provided in an arrangement about the box and connected to a transmitter for communicating the temperature at each location to a monitoring system with a processor and database. A temperature profile and spatial model can be constructed by the processor and stored at the database to generate profiles for defined volumes within the container.
