Use Case
Cold Chain & Heat Chain Monitoring
Know the moment a temperature-sensitive asset leaves its safe range.
Continuous temperature monitoring across storage, transport and distribution — flagging excursions the moment they happen and logging every event, so temperature-sensitive products stay protected and every deviation is documented.
The problem
A temperature excursion is only a problem you can fix if you know about it in time
Products that depend on a controlled temperature range — pharmaceuticals, vaccines, food and beverage, laboratory samples — can be compromised by an excursion that goes unnoticed until a spot-check, or worse, until the product is already unusable.
Manual temperature logging is slow, easy to miss, and hard to defend during a compliance audit or an insurance claim.

What cold chain monitoring actually fixes
The issue
An excursion that goes unnoticed can compromise an entire batch.

XiGiFy solution
Temperature is monitored continuously across cold rooms, storage units and vehicles.
The issue
A spot-check only tells you the temperature at the moment someone looked.

XiGiFy solution
Excursions and abnormal trends are identified in real time.
The issue
By the time product is visibly affected, the loss has already been taken.

XiGiFy solution
Teams are alerted the moment an asset drifts out of its safe range, so corrective action comes first.
The issue
Manual temperature logs are easy to miss and hard to defend in an audit.

XiGiFy solution
Every reading and alert is logged automatically into an audit-ready record.
The issue
Storage, transport and distributed sites are each tracked separately.

One platform covers fixed storage and transport assets across every site.
How it works
From temperature reading to a documented response
- Step 01
Sense
Temperature sensors continuously monitor cold rooms, storage units, vehicles and distributed facilities.
- Cold rooms, storage units and in-transit assets
- No gap between readings
- Storage and transport legs on one platform
- Step 02
Detect
The platform identifies excursions and abnormal trends in real time, not just a threshold breach at the moment someone happens to check.
- Slow drifts and rapid events both identified
- Each asset measured against its own safe range
- Vaccine, food and laboratory stores held to their own standards
- Step 03
XiGiFy Brain
Alert
Teams are notified immediately when a monitored asset drifts out of its safe range, so corrective action can happen before product is lost.
- Notification the instant an asset leaves its range
- Corrective action starts before product is lost
- A break in the chain visible wherever it happens
- Step 04
Log
Every reading and alert is logged automatically, building an audit-ready record for compliance and traceability.
- Every reading, excursion and response time-stamped
- Complete temperature history for compliance programmes
- Ambient room conditions visible alongside the unit
Capabilities
What's included
Continuous temperature monitoring
No gap between readings — excursions typically happen between scheduled spot-checks, not during them. Fixed cold rooms, storage units and in-transit assets are all tracked without manual intervention.
Real-time excursion alerting
Notification the instant a monitored asset drifts outside its defined safe range — whether a slow drift or a rapid event — so corrective action starts before product loss is certain rather than after it's been confirmed.
Configurable per-asset safe ranges
Each asset's acceptable temperature window is set independently. A vaccine cold room, a food distribution unit and a laboratory specimen store each operate to different standards; each is monitored against its own, not a single building-wide threshold.
Audit-ready chain-of-custody logging
Every reading, excursion alert and response is automatically timestamped and retained — building the complete temperature history that pharmaceutical, food safety and healthcare compliance programmes require. Suitable for regulatory submissions, insurance claims and internal traceability reviews.
Storage-to-transport visibility
Cold-chain integrity is only meaningful if it covers the handover between storage and transport. Both legs are monitored on the same platform, so a break in the chain is visible wherever it happens.
Cross-solution integration
Runs on the same platform as indoor air quality monitoring and Smart BMS, so the ambient environment around the cold storage — ventilation, temperature of the surrounding room — is visible alongside the storage unit's own internal readings.
Use cases
Where this fits
- Pharmaceutical and vaccine storage
- Food and beverage cold storage and logistics
- Healthcare and laboratory environments
- Warehousing and distribution
Deployment
Integrations & rollout
Designed to complement indoor air quality monitoring and Smart BMS for facilities that need both general environmental data and dedicated cold-chain tracking.
Temperature sensors are fitted across cold rooms, storage units and transport assets; the platform monitors continuously and logs every reading.
