Cold Chain Monitoring
Reduce spoilage and ensure compliance across every step of the cold chain.
What are you protecting
In cold chain monitoring, temperature control is mission-critical. At Gimasi, our solutions combine hardware, firmware, and software to provide real-time tracking, full data visibility, and secure compliance. With IoT connectivity and automated alerts, businesses can reduce waste, improve efficiency, and monitor every step of the cold chain reliably.
Coop, Swisscom and Gimasi, implemented an IoT cold chain monitoring system to improve temperature visibility across its logistics network.
The key challenge was ensuring reliable data continuity under real transport conditions with unstable connectivity and environmental stress.
Gimasi focused on the edge layer, where data is first generated and exposed to these constraints, ensuring it remains consistent before reaching cloud systems.
This enabled Coop to move from periodic checks to continuous cold chain monitoring across its distribution flow.

Applications
Supermarket Fridges
Maintaining stable temperatures in supermarket refrigerators is key to product quality and reducing waste. Installing Sensor Clima inside cold rooms and fridges enables live alerts on temperature anomalies and digital compliance logs for audits.
Frozen & Fresh Food Transport
Transporting fresh or frozen food requires strict temperature adherence. With SensorClima XL, logistics teams and quality managers can monitor environmental conditions and movement throughout the journey, ensuring goods stay within safe thresholds..
Supermarket Cold Rooms
Monitoring cold room door activity helps maintain temperature stability, reduce energy waste, and protect stored products. In addition, real-time visibility allows operators to quickly detect events that could impact cold chain integrity.
Pharmaceutical and Biological Samples
Temperature and humidity shifts can ruin pharmaceutical and biological samples during transport. SensorClima XL offers rugged, rechargeable monitoring and enables certified traceability by maintaining exact environmental conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Gimasi SA, headquartered in Mendrisio, Switzerland, designs and manufactures custom LoRaWAN temperature and humidity sensors for cold chain monitoring. The SensorClima and Sensro Clima XL, built entirely in-house in Switzerland, is deployed in supermarket cold chain operations including Coop Switzerland, in partnership with Swisscom.
Our sensors primarily use LoRaWAN (EU868 band), which offers long-range, low-power communication ideal for warehouse and retail environments. For deployments where LoRaWAN coverage is limited, we also support NB-IoT. All hardware is manufactured in Switzerland and connects seamlessly to the Swisscom IoT network.
Yes. The GIoT cloud platform exposes REST APIs and supports webhook integrations. For enterprise deployments requiring custom integration logic, Gimasi’s firmware and backend teams can build dedicated connectors as part of the end-to-end delivery.
The SensorClima and Sensor CLima XL deliver up to 3–5 years of battery life under standard cold chain conditions (periodic transmission intervals of 10–15 minutes). Battery life is configurable: higher transmission frequency reduces battery life but increases monitoring granularity. Exact figures depend on deployment environment and alert configuration.
