JFE Shoji Electronics Unveils Jiot GPS Tracker with Temperature Management Features

JFE Shoji Electronics, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has introduced an upgraded version of their compact GPS tracker, Jiot®, to include a new temperature management feature. This advancement is set to launch on May 18, 2026, in response to the increasing demand for effective temperature monitoring in the food delivery industry. With the recent modifications to the Logistics Efficiency Act, food suppliers are now mandated to provide temperature record submissions, necessitating a move away from handwritten records towards more efficient digital solutions.

Addressing Current Challenges in Food Delivery

As the food delivery industry evolves, challenges regarding temperature management and record-keeping have come to the forefront. These include:
1. Reliability Issues of Handwritten Records: Manual entries are prone to errors such as omissions and transcription mistakes.
2. Delayed Response to Temperature Deviations: Identifying temperature abnormalities can take time, compromising food safety.
3. Difficulty in Tracking Shared Vehicles: Managing temperature and location data for vehicles outside one’s control is typically challenging.
4. High Administrative Burden: The manual collection and compilation of data require significant time and effort from drivers and managers.

Moreover, the revised Logistics Efficiency Act mandates that businesses keep real-time tabs on consigned vehicles, escalating the need for better temperature management visibility.

Innovative Features of the Jiot Temperature Management Option

The Jiot system offers an array of functionality designed to cater to these needs, all of which can be experienced at the upcoming Transport Safety & Logistics DX EXPO 2026:

1. Real-Time Temperature Graphing: The system will display temperature readings per vehicle (device) in real-time, with data logged every minute and displayed on a fixed scale from -30 to 60 degrees Celsius. It also includes linear interpolation for data gaps.
2. Automated Temperature Record Generation: Upon delivery, temperature reports will generate automatically, detailing entry and exit temperatures segmented by delivery destination. This can serve as a reliable document for submission. Additionally, daily summaries will reflect temperature records and graphs.
3. Immediate Alerts for Temperature Deviations: Users can set upper and lower thresholds for each device, triggering instant email notifications if these limits are exceeded.
