Since 2012, YouCo has been supporting CIA, Commercianti Indipendenti Italiani, a cooperative company associated with CONAD, developing projects aimed at optimizing logistics<\/b> in multiple aspects, employing technologies ranging from sensor systems<\/b> to the use of routing algorithms<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The first aspect on which the collaboration focused was monitoring the cold chain during product movements between warehouses and to stores.<\/p>\n
By receiving data from sensors that detect the temperature inside the refrigerated cells of the carriers<\/strong>, the application developed by YouCo signals any anomalies in refrigeration<\/strong> to the central station in real-time, allowing for prompt intervention.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”Full control over cell openings” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”agsdix-smt2-open-in-new||fa||400″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”37f53a79-b328-41a9-9a62-c3cf70c32ce9″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A second functionality of the application guarantees CIA and its associated stores that the openings of the carrier cells occur only when scheduled.<\/p>\n By interfacing with sensors<\/strong> placed near the doors<\/strong>, the application verifies that the carrier is in one of the authorized phases (typically loading and unloading) and enables door opening through PIN entry<\/strong>, barcode reading, or NFC (Near Field Communication) tag<\/strong>, providing CIA and stores with precise and real-time information on cell openings and closings.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”Geolocation of assets” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||divi||400″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”37f53a79-b328-41a9-9a62-c3cf70c32ce9″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n An entity like CIA doesn’t just move goods.
