Dock seal: Rite-Hite has developed the new Performer dock seal to effectively seal gaps at loading dock doors and reduce trail-er-related wear and tear.

Rugged, friction-resistant Durathon fabric is featured throughout the Performer seal. It not only covers the vinyl base layer of the pleat-free side-pad face (giving it a smooth, abrasion-reducing surface), but it’s also used to provide full-height inside side-pad reinforcement to protect against damage from forklifts and loads.

The Performer dock seal comes in two designs, a head-pad model and a head-curtain model. The head-pad model is suitable for standard over-the-road trailers and uses a distinctive pivoting “backerless” header design to reduce damage from extreme pressure and trailer movement as well as prevent head-pad pop-off. Its internal stabilizing panel helps prevent sagging of the foam pad from repeated trailer impacts and bouncing.

The head-curtain model is designed for docks that receive trailers of varying heights. It features a self-locking head-curtain design to improve sealing at the trailer top, eliminating the need for wind straps. It also incorporates an impactable header frame to minimize damage from trailers that come in and impact too high.

Both versions of the header use mini pleats to close gaps caused by protrusions that are common on the backs of trailers.

The head pad and curtain both use Firefighter heat-dissipation technology that prevents the seal from being burned by compressed trailer marker lights. This protects workers and facilities from potential fire- and smoke-related hazards. (Rite-Hite, www.

Temperature data logger: To tackle the challenge of monitoring sensitive products throughout the cold chain, Oceasoft has developed the Cobalt ML3. The Cobalt ML3 connected data logger takes care of temperature traceability during shipment, leveraging specialized long-range wireless technology.

The solution automatically collects temperature data recorded by Cobalt ML3 modules and transfers the information to a secure cloud platform via a network of receivers. According to the company, with this solution, no human intervention is needed to ensure continuous temperature monitoring across the entire logistics chain.

Cobalt ML3 can also use the public network to upload geoloca-tion information about a container or vehicle. It’s designed to be simple and secure, with a fast and intuitive setup. Temperature readings are stored in the Cobalt ML3 module’s internal memory as well as on the secure OCEACloud platform. A cloud application development interface is also available, enabling data to be integrated with third-party information systems. In cases of anomalies, such as out-of-bounds temperatures, alerts can be sent 24/7 by e-mail, SMS/text message, or voice message via the OCEAlert platform.

Cobalt ML3 is designed to keep upfront investment and maintenance costs down, using low-energy–consumption technologies, enabling battery life of up to one year. An external waterproof protective casing can be used for logistics and transport applications requiring additional robustness. (Oceasoft, www.
