JFE Shoji Electronics' Compact GPS Tracker 'Jiot®' to Offer Temperature Management Feature from May 18, 2026

In the food delivery industry, following the enforcement of the revised Logistics Efficiency Act, requests from shippers to submit temperature records are increasing. Breaking away from manual handwritten records and visualizing temperature management has become an urgent task.

To meet these needs, JFE Shoji Electronics Corporation (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Kunihide Ebina) will add a temperature management feature to its compact GPS tracker 'Jiot®' and begin offering it as an option from May 18, 2026.

'Jiot®' automatically records location information, temperature, and operational status simply by placing the GPS tracker and temperature sensor in the vehicle. No installation work or driver operation is required, allowing for immediate same-day deployment.

This new 'Temperature Management Feature Option' displays the temperature history of each vehicle in real-time graphs, automatically creates temperature record tables, and sends alert notifications upon temperature deviation. It achieves compliance with the Food Sanitation Act, strengthening of quality assurance, and automation of recording tasks.

Background and Purpose In the food delivery industry, there is an increasing number of cases where shippers require the submission of temperature management records. However, the following issues have surfaced in the field: - Low reliability of handwritten records: Omissions and transcription errors are prone to occur. - Delayed response to temperature deviations: It takes time to detect abnormalities. - Difficulty in grasping the status of outsourced vehicles: Temperature and location information of vehicles outside the company's direct control cannot be seen. - Burden of recording tasks: The manual tallying work for drivers and managers is substantial.

Furthermore, under the revised Logistics Efficiency Act enforced in April 2026, shipper companies are obligated to grasp the operational status of their contractors, further heightening the need for visualization of temperature management.

Overview of New Features The 'Temperature Management Option' starting to be offered this time provides the following features. The feature can be experienced at the Transport Safety & Logistics DX EXPO 2026.

1. Display and Output of Temperature History Graphs Displays the temperature for each vehicle (device) in a real-time graph (at 1-minute intervals). The vertical axis is fixed at -30 to 60 degrees Celsius. It also supports missing data interpolation (linear interpolation display).

2. Automatic Creation and Output of Temperature Records Automatically creates a monthly temperature record table by delivery destination, including receiving time/temperature and dispatching time/temperature, which can be used as a document for submission. The automatically created daily reports also reflect the temperature records and graphs.

3. Temperature Deviation Alert Notification Allows setting upper and lower threshold limits for each device, sending immediate email notifications to registered users when a deviation occurs.
