Abstract

The proper transport of hit sensitive products, such as fish and fruit, is very important because their deterioration may cause the value lost and even the product rejection by the buyer. For this reason, in this paper we present a cooperative monitoring system for the delivery of fresh products. The system consists of fixed wireless nodes and a mobile wireless node that is installed in the packet. This mobile node is able to take data of the internal temperature, external temperature and the 3 axis movement. With the information stored in the network, a vendor can know the optimal conditions of the transport. Finally, we test the maximum distance to the fixed nodes, as well as the data collected by the sensor.
