Combined product power: Innovative cold chain monitoring from SenseING and TKT

Written by Ivo Frank on . Posted in Allgemein, Presse.

The demands on the logistics of temperature-sensitive products are constantly increasing - especially in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In order to improve the safety and efficiency of cold chain logistics, SenseING and TKT have combined their strong products to offer an innovative solution: the solar-powered SNC-PV data logger is now available as an integral part of TKT's robust thermal containers. This cooperation opens up completely new possibilities for the seamless monitoring and optimisation of cold chains worldwide.

TKT insulated containers in use worldwide

As the market and quality leader with over 40 years of experience, TKT sets standards in the construction of stable and durable thermal container. These offer customer-orientated solutions for the safe transport of fresh and frozen food and enable cold storage refrigeration to be transported effectively to the customer - the cold chain remains intact for 24 hours even in the event of traffic jams.

Thanks to their flexible application options, expensive refrigerated lorries are often no longer necessary, which reduces fleet costs. The hermetically sealed containers make it possible to hygienically transport non-perishable foodstuffs as well as refrigerated goods, which makes route planning much easier.

Solar-powered data logger for monitoring TKT thermal containers

Particularly in sectors such as food and pharmaceutical logistics, seamless monitoring of the cold chain is crucial. The joint solution from SenseING and TKT offers a significant improvement here: the Datalogger SNC-PV replaces manual documentation processes and automates the recording of temperature data. This enables simple and safe handling as well as seamless traceability.

What makes this solution so special?

Our collaboration offers a wide range of benefits that make handling large container pools and sensitive goods much easier:

  • No need to change batteries thanks to photovoltaic technology
    The solar-powered SNC-PV data logger eliminates the need to change batteries. For companies with thousands of containers, this means enormous time and cost savings.
  • Automated documentation and real-time data transfer
    The temperature data is transmitted automatically and in real time to a central system via the mobile phone network. This reduces manual effort and the data can be retrieved at any time.
  • Cost reduction through optimised processes
    Automation and more efficient monitoring lead to significant cost savings and improve the efficiency of the entire supply chain.
  • Seamless integration into existing systems
    The solution can be easily integrated into existing logistics systems, allowing companies to monitor and control their cold chain in real time.

A pioneering innovation for cold chain logistics

The combination of TKT's proven thermal containers with SenseING's innovative solar-powered temperature loggers creates a revolutionary solution for monitoring the cold chain. This technology enables automated and continuous monitoring, ensuring maximum efficiency and safety.

The partnership between SenseING and TKT stands for pioneering technologies that meet the requirements of modern logistics. Together with our customers, we are shaping the cold chain logistics of tomorrow.

Energy self-sufficient temperature data loggers for food logistics

Written by Ivo Frank on . Posted in Allgemein, IoT, Presse.

SenseING launches energy self-sufficient temperature data loggers with an integrated solar panel. The logger generates enough energy to operate autonomously simply from the lighting in vehicles and warehouses.

Logistics companies are obliged to check and record the temperature at regular intervals in order to ensure that the cold chain for temperature-sensitive goods is maintained without interruption and to minimise risks. Until now, this has often been done manually, which requires a lot of manpower and harbours sources of error.

The data logger charges itself via its solar panel.

Self-contained temperature data logger for seamless data acquisition

The new temperature logger called „SLC-PV“ from the Karlsruhe-based company documents the temperature and relative humidity on the loading area of vehicles. The special feature of the logger is its self-sufficient energy supply. Thanks to a solar module, the logger charges its energy storage unit independently, even without daylight. The logger only requires 250 lux for self-sufficient operation and can therefore get by with the lighting in halls or vehicles. Annoying battery changes are therefore a thing of the past and possible data loss is ruled out. Logistics companies can therefore rely on continuous data logging without manual intervention or reading the temperature values.

The logger's automated data acquisition system enables seamless transmission of the collected information. Once at the storage location, the data is automatically transmitted via the wireless standard LoRaWAN which transmits the data to the Cloud where they can be analysed, visualised and managed. This allows companies to monitor their temperature and humidity values easily and efficiently and create automated reports. „In addition, SenseING offers the transfer of recorded data to existing customer systems via standardised interfaces,“ explains Managing Director Sven Kruse.


Integration of the stand-alone temperature loggers is simple and straightforward. The loggers are supplied pre-configured and can be put into operation in just a few steps. The loggers can also be used for temperature documentation in warehouses without any problems.

Automated fulfilment of requirements

Automatic data transmission enables seamless documentation of temperature values throughout the entire transport and storage process. As a result, logistics companies can not only reduce labour costs and sources of error, but also improve the efficiency and reliability of their temperature monitoring. In addition, the permanent documentation supports logistics companies in their quality management audits.


„All in all, with our self-sufficient data logger, we offer companies the opportunity to increase their efficiency, reduce costs and optimise their operating processes,“ concludes Kruse.

The self-sufficient temperature data logger with integrated solar panel is now available. In addition, SenseING offers further Logging solutions along the supply chain. Companies wishing to optimise their logistics processes and reliably monitor their temperature and humidity values are cordially invited to request further information.

SenseING GmbH collected donations for the 913 Studio as part of its third company festival.

On 1 October, the SenseING GmbH invited Business partner and supporters to the third company party, which is now officially a tradition. In keeping with the occasion, an equally traditional celebration was organised - an Oktoberfest. The annual fundraising campaign, which SenseING launched for the first time in 2021, was an absolute must. The festival, which was established as a sign of gratitude for the good cooperation and support, should also be used to do good together. This year, SenseING used the attention to collect donations for the 913 Studio - Verein zur Förderung der Bildung, Kunst und Kultur e.V. (913 Studio - Association for the Promotion of Education, Art and Culture).

Strengthening self-confidence with music

As a result of the Corona pandemic, the club's offerings had to be greatly reduced. With the donated money, the 913 Studio now wants to expand the offer again. The course "Introduction to Recording and Music Production" is scheduled to start in spring 2023. The course is aimed specifically at children and young people between the ages of 7 and 20, who will be taught the basics of recording and music production in several sessions. In addition, real recordings of podcasts, lyrics or songs will be produced together. The aim of the course: The own CD with the self-produced works. The main aim is to promote the children's and young people's self-confidence as well as their media and language skills. The course is free of charge for the participants.

Digital device management goes into series production

Series production of the tracking solution träck is running at full speed. The first deliveries will take place as early as October.

Digital device management requires one thing above all: transparency. Creating more transparency in processes is SenseING's main goal. SenseING relies on complete IoT solutions that are delivered pre-configured and can be put into operation in just a few steps. This also applies to the tracking solution träck, which was developed specifically for use in the construction industry. In the future, the solution, which consists of three components, will ensure more transparency on construction sites and building yards, because it can be used to track small equipment such as vibratory plates, compressors, etc. as live inventories, automate prescriptions, reduce search times and thus increase productivity.

The principle is very simple: All devices and tools to be tracked receive a tracker (transmitter). Construction sites and warehouses/building yards are equipped with gateways (receivers). The trackers exchange collected data via radio technology. LoRa with the gateway. The gateway in turn sends the data into an IoT platform using the mobile network and into existing systems via standardised interfaces.

Digital device management: A tracking sensor is attached to the handle of a vibratory plate.


At the centre of the solution is the tracker, which is just 40×40 mm in size and is now being produced by the thousand. It contains climate and motion sensors, which make it possible to derive information about the status and utilisation of the devices. The compact tracker shines especially with its battery life, because thanks to its low energy consumption it achieves battery runtimes of up to four years.

SenseKit receives EASA certification

Written by Ivo Frank on . Posted in Allgemein, Presse. No Comments on SenseKit erhält EASA-Zertifizierung

Thanks to the cooperation with SkyTender Solutions AG , the first SenseKit was certified by EASA for use in civil aviation and successfully deployed.

Digitalization has also picked up speed in aviation. For example, SenseING has developed a sensor application for recording real environmental and operating conditions of a mobile postmix beverage plant. The application is intended to provide data to better evaluate the dimensioning and service life estimation of the beverage plant. The challenge here - the application must be approved for aviation. The battery and sensor application must meet certain conditions. The application was thoroughly tested in an EASA test procedure and then successfully certified for use in aviation.
