 Overview
Business Need
• Log, track and report temperature and other data points in frozen, refrigerated and
ambient zones in stationary and mobile trailers
• Software that is scalable to thousands of trailers
Currently available market solutions
• Range from expensive full scale solutions to inadequate low cost solutions
• Proprietary or locked technology
Bb Solution
• Cost effective, full scale, scalable solution using open technology

 What problem is being addressed?
Background
• Trailers have zones (typically Frozen, Refrigerated,
Ambient) where goods are stored and transported
• Zone temperatures are maintained by cooler units
(aka reefers) attached to the trailers (top vendors
include Thermo King, Carrier)
• Cold chain distributors need to track and log
temperatures for each trailer zone regularly
• Temperature and Humidity are key data points in
cold chain monitoring; additional data points
include dew point, vapor, air flow, pressure, etc.
• Cold chain monitoring reduces operating costs,
supports compliance of many regulatory standards
• Many cooler units allow data be downloaded using
an on board device (OBD) and proprietary protocol
• Currently there are two ways to collect zone data:
1) using OBD or 2) using sensors and readers
For discussion purposes only
Problem
• OBD data collection is vendor and unit specific; data
needs to be downloaded; continuous monitoring is
expensive and in many cases not possible
• Zone specific data collection is more accurate but
requires additional sensors and readers
• Many cooler units do not have wireless capability to
transmit data; transmission capable units tend to be
proprietary and locked to vendor provided services
• A standard single solution framework combining OBD
and zone data is currently unavailable; hence
distributors do not have a single view of in-trailer
data for actionable control purposes
• Lack of single solution framework has led to
expensive, inaccurate, and compliance risky
workarounds
 What is the proposed solution?
RASTRO from BONbLOC
• Cost effective, scalable, single solution framework to track temperature and related data; common architecture
for OBD and in-zone device data
• Custom designed BLE Sensor and Gateway hardware included
• Open technology, connect with external hardware for data collection (reefer units, compatible BLE sensors)
• SaaS and On-premise solution; optional blockchain backbone for immutable tracking
