Cold Chain Management (CCM) can be described as the supply chain network of facilities and distribution that are controlled by temperature and humidity throughout the supply chain stages and entities. In CCM, the product will undergo the delivery process from the storeroom until it reaches the market cold room. However, the likelihood of accidents occurring during the process of delivery such as the breakdown of vehicles and the collapse of the freezing system can affect product quality. Therefore, an immediate response must be taken to prevent these setbacks from happening by implementing a real-time CCM system by utilizing the Sigfox UnaShield that stack into Arduino MakerUNO that read the temperature value and then sent to the Sigfox network. The data will be displayed in the Ubidots dashboard. An encouraging result is obtained on the prototyped used for the CCM monitoring using Ubidots Cloud and Xperanti Sigfox network. © 2021 IEEE.
