1. Technology overview
Elitech is a manufacturer of temperature and humidity data loggers for cold chain management, founded in 1996 and headquartered in San Jose, California. It reports eight business units, wholly owned subsidiaries in the UK, China and Brazil, 170+ engineers, 80 authorized patents including 30 software patents, more than 100 new data logger products per year and a network of 300+ agents and partners in 120+ countries and regions.
Its portfolio spans digital temperature labels, single-use and reusable USB loggers, and single-use and multi-use real-time loggers. The Glog 5 single-use real-time logger sends temperature, humidity, light, shock and location data over 4G with LBS and optional GPS, with a 4,800 mAh battery, 32,000-record memory, geo-fencing and a flight mode. Data flows into the Elitech Cloud (ColdCloud) platform for visualization, alarms and PDF or CSV reports. Customers are shippers, food companies and life sciences firms.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Glog 5 models: temperature, temperature and humidity, and an ultra-low external probe version down to -200 °C.
- 4G connectivity: real-time upload with LBS and optional GPS positioning, upload interval 1 minute to 24 hours.
- Multi-sensor data: light up to 52,000 lux and acceleration up to 16 g alongside temperature and humidity.
- Flight mode and geo-fence: airplane mode by button, timer or e-fence and customizable electronic geo-fences.
- Elitech Cloud: ColdCloud-based platform for visualization, traceability, alarms and PDF or CSV reports.
- Wider range: digital temperature labels, single-use LogEt loggers and multi-use RCW real-time loggers for warehouses and vehicles.
3. Potential application
- A Vietnamese durian or dragon fruit exporter can place Glog 5 loggers in reefer containers to China and follow temperature and location in real time.
- A seafood processor can use single-use loggers on export shipments and share PDF reports with importers.
- A pharma distributor can monitor cold rooms and delivery vans with multi-use RCW loggers on Elitech Cloud.
4. Benefits
- Real-time 4G data with location, light and shock lets shippers see excursions and tampering during transit, not only after arrival.
- A broad range from single-use labels to real-time loggers lets companies match monitoring cost to shipment value.
- Batch OTA upgrades, geo-fencing and flight mode simplify large-scale use on road, sea and air routes.
- Automatic PDF and CSV reports from the cloud support traceability and quality documentation.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Cold chain buyers want end-to-end monitoring that combines low-cost single-use loggers with real-time IoT devices on one cloud. Fresh produce, seafood and pharma exports from Southeast Asia face stricter buyer and regulatory requirements for temperature records, creating demand for affordable 4G loggers that work across long sea and air routes.
