[Melbourne, Australia] Mainfreight, a global logistics provider, has partnered with Identec Solutions, a pioneer in wireless automation technologies, to implement Reefer Runner, a advanced reefer monitoring system.
Identec Solutions is proud to see Reefer Runner integrated into Mainfreight’s operations, ensuring top-tier performance in reefer monitoring with 24/7 visibility and reliability for perishable goods. The system’s seamless integration into Mainfreight’s operational framework enhances temperature control and data accessibility, setting a new benchmark for quality assurance in the cold chain.
Jake Hedley, Branch Manager at Mainfreight Australia, emphasised the system’s immediate impact: “Reefer Runner will fundamentally transform how we manage refrigerated cargo. The automation of temperature monitoring is streamlining our processes, providing real-time oversight, and allowing us to deliver superior service to our customers. It’s a game-changer for us and them.”

Such advancements safeguard product integrity, reduce the risk of spoilage, and enhance regulatory compliance.
The introduction of Reefer Runner was a strategic response to Mainfreight’s expanding customer base and contract successes. The solution frees up valuable resources, allowing team members to focus on other critical aspects of supply chain management.
