Use-case Blueprint: Cold Chain Monitoring PoC

Prototype a cold chain monitoring solution with Soracom Air and Beam.

Beginner Published:

This blueprint shows a minimal proof-of-concept for tracking temperature and location in transit.

What you will build

  • Cellular-connected sensor devices reporting temperature and location.
  • Secure data forwarding into a cloud endpoint.
  • A dashboard view of current conditions and alert thresholds.

Architecture snapshot

  1. Device with a temperature sensor and SIM.
  2. Soracom Air for connectivity.
  3. Soracom Beam to forward data to your cloud endpoint.
  4. Dashboard for visualization and alerts.

Build steps

  1. Provision SIMs and register devices.
  2. Configure Beam for your ingestion endpoint.
  3. Publish sensor payloads from devices.
  4. Verify data flow and set alert thresholds.

Success criteria

  • Devices report data every 1-5 minutes.
  • Payloads reach the cloud endpoint without loss.
  • Alerts trigger when thresholds are exceeded.

Next steps

  • Add retry logic and offline buffering.
  • Expand to multi-region deployments.
  • Integrate with your asset management system.
