PAR Logistics Management Systems’ Reefer Watch provides real-time monitoring of food product temperature every 15 minutes during transit cycles and also provides immediate alerts to drivers and shipping managers, thanks to a GPS positioning satellite antenna that transmits vital information concerning cargo temperature via alert messages direct to e-mail or text messages to cell phones. In addition, the system delivers Web-based utilization, status and history reports, allowing managers to review the entire transit history of a specific shipment of foodservice cargo and verify reefer temperatures during every stage of the shipment.

PAR Logistics Management Systems announced Monday, Feb. 8, at the Technology and Maintenance Council’s Spring meeting in Tampa Bay, Fla., that Irvine, Calif.-based Golden Foods has selected its Reefer Watch cold chain management solution. Golden Foods is one of the largest diversified suppliers to the foodservice industry, servicing more than 20,000 restaurants on three continents.

The Reefer Watch Refrigerated Trailer Tracking System RT-200 from PAR Logistics provides Golden State Foods with the ability to track actual food temperatures consistently in a trailer, instead of air temperature around the cargo.
