Cold-chain warehouse improves alarm handling

A refrigerated logistics site connected temperature zones, doors and compressor alarms to one remote operations layer.

Challenge

Night alarms were frequent, but staff could not easily distinguish sensor noise from a real refrigeration event. Every uncertainty became a callout.

Modibus approach

Modibus gathered zone sensors, compressor status and door events locally, then applied basic filtering before sending alerts to the operations team.

Outcome

False alarms dropped and real events were easier to interpret. The team used door-open patterns to coach loading crews during peak hours.

We still call people when it matters. We just stopped waking them up for noise.
