Active Cool-Chain LD3 Cargo Container Tracking Environmental Deviation System

Active Cool-Chain LD3 Cargo Container Tracking Environmental Deviation System
Perishable Goods Shipping Problem
Up to 40 percent of produce arrives at rural Alaska retail stores unfit for consumption. The rural Alaska salmon industry faces significant quality problems that arise from multiple handlings and cargo sitting on the tarmac between shipments. Global seafood and fresh cut flower industries experience quality loss and chain of custody issues. The medical and pharmaceutical industries face great challenges keeping medicines, supplies and organs in a temperature controlled environment. The Department of Defense transports temperature-sensitive munitions to environmentally extreme locations with no good internal temperature control systems.
All shippers have a need for point-to-point containers with increased security and credible Tracking Environmental Deviation Systems (hence the product name TEDSBOX®).

Solution of Perishable Goods Problem
TEDSBOX® container is a self-contained secure insulated shipping container (aka active cool chain container) with a built-in battery that can maintain a temperature between +35 F – +89 F; with dry ice the temperature can be held down to -10 C/+14 F. Temperature monitoring and recording provides a documented history for insurance and chain of custody issues.
RFID technology can be applied for remote tracking. The initial product is built to the very common LD-3 specifications, which is grossed at 3,500 lbs. Leasing in Alaska and internationally will be available for infrequent users and carriers.

Company’s target
Tednologies, Inc. was created to satisfy the need for proper containers to ship perishable products. TEDSBOX® was designed around the actual needs of the following perishables markets; foods, flowers, medicines, fish processors, air carriers, commodity forwarders, restaurateurs, rural Alaska retailers and pharmaceutical companies.
Now shippers have a complete active Cool-Chain system that's secure... from the fishing grounds in Bristol bay, Alaska to the restaurant in Rome.
