    1 device offline: supervision flags it rather than hiding it.

    How it is wired

    Sensors report to a gateway, which forwards to Thingsform over MQTT. What sets the platform apart is the lower line: the command goes back to the equipment.

    What the platform does with these readings

    The dashboard is only the visible part: each metric can carry a threshold, drift detection and a command in return.

    Cargo temp

    -258 °C
    • Threshold outside the -25–8 °C range
    • Slow drift, spotted before the threshold is crossed
    • Command sent back to the device over MQTT or Modbus

    Door open

    020 min
    • Threshold outside the 0–20 min range
    • Slow drift, spotted before the threshold is crossed
    • Correlation with the site's other readings

    GPS compliance

    85100 %
    • Threshold outside the 85–100 % range
    • Slow drift, spotted before the threshold is crossed
    • Correlation with the site's other readings

    Compressor

    2090 %
    • Threshold outside the 20–90 % range
    • Slow drift, spotted before the threshold is crossed
    • Correlation with the site's other readings

    Start with the Cold chain logistics dashboard

    It ships configured. Connect your sensors over MQTT, HTTP or Modbus, and your values take the place of these.
