Ameriscan Equips Entire Martin-Brower Fleet with Tracking and Tracing Units

Martin-Brower Canada has recently decided to equip its entire Newfoundland fleet with Ameriscan X2 temperature monitors and tracing and tracking units.

Ameriscan, based in Salsbury, Md., offers tracking and tracing of any refrigerated asset, reefer communication with Carrier, ThermoKing and Mitsubishi refrigeration units, HACCP conform temperature recorders with on-board printing capabilities, humidity monitoring as well as complete alarm and remote access capabilities.

This decision allowed MB Canada to change its processes and realize annual savings of up to $140,000. MB Canada now can remotely monitor sensitive cargo while its trailers are unattended, and is able to provide a higher standard of food distribution to its many clients.

“Martin-Brower Canada provided an unusual challenge since the trailers are unattended during a ferry ride for a very long time in rough natural environments,” said Christoph Kalinski, managing director of Ameriscan. “But after some testing and adaptation of antennas and firmware we were able to provide MB Canada with a solution that fits their needs perfectly and realize dramatic annual cost savings.”

Wayne Dingee, DC manager of MB Canada, was quite pleased with the outcome and performance of the system, “Not only has Ameriscan allowed Martin-Brower to assure our customers of an uninterrupted cold chain, it has put us in a position of being able to provide unmatched distribution and logistics services,” he said.
