Nanopower enables continuous monitoring of cold chain operations

- Nanopower’s patented nP-Zero low-power technology is used in the nP-Monitor cold-chain system. It checks sensors every 1–4 seconds at 1 microampere, which the article says can provide five to seven years’ operation on a CR2032 battery. The monitor has a small form factor, an IP6X casing and can integrate with existing operating systems.
- The article says temperature-control failures cause food losses in transit and losses in biopharma, and that wireless monitoring has been difficult to scale because sensor batteries run out too quickly and require excessive maintenance. Continuous traceability is presented as protecting the quality of food and pharmaceuticals, making monitoring more efficient and cost-effective, and reducing food and medicine waste.
- The page cites a 2018 global cold-chain logistics market of nearly USD 160 billion and a forecast exceeding USD 585 billion by 2026. SDGs 2, 3 and 12 shown.
