Context and Challenges Cooperativa Aurora Alimentos, one of the leading companies in Brazil’s agribusiness sector, is renowned for its extensive range of products, including meats, dairy, and processed foods. With national operations and significant export volumes, maintaining the integrity of the cold chain during transport has always been a critical challenge.
The safe and controlled transportation of perishable food is vital to meet strict sanitary regulations and ensure the final quality of products for consumers. Aurora faced challenges in accurately verifying temperature maintenance during transport, especially for exports involving long distances and multiple logistical stages. Traditional methods for temperature monitoring, such as manual records and fixed sensors, proved insufficient to comprehensively detect potential failures.
Implemented Solution To address these challenges, Aurora adopted the use of Wise-USB Disposable Data Loggers. These devices enable reliable monitoring by recording temperature data throughout the entire journey, from the factory departure to the final destination. The sensors are placed alongside the products during the loading phase and monitor temperature at regular intervals. The technology used can record temperature variations with high precision, providing comprehensive reports at the end of the transport process. For export operations, the data loggers enable Cooperativa Aurora to provide documented evidence of compliance with food safety standards in different markets.
Results Achieved The implementation of MaxiTrack Sensors brought several benefits to Aurora Alimentos:
- Improved Quality and Compliance: Continuous temperature records ensure that products remain in ideal conditions throughout transportation, minimizing losses and returns due to unwanted temperature variations.
Transparency and Traceability: The data collected by the sensors can be easily exported into PDF reports, ensuring full traceability and offering greater security for audits and inspections by regulatory agencies.
- Cost Reduction: With precise monitoring, the company reduced waste and costs associated with product deterioration, improving the efficiency of logistical operations.Customer
- Confidence: The additional security provided by the data loggers increased the trust of commercial partners, especially in international markets, where quality and safety are strict requirements.
- Conclusion Cooperativa Aurora Alimentos has demonstrated that investing in innovative technological solutions is essential to maintaining competitiveness and excellence in the transportation of perishable foods. The use of this technology reinforced the company’s commitment to quality, efficiency, and the satisfaction of consumers and partners around the world.
