Environmental Sensor Overview

The Motive ES‑2 Environmental Sensor provides continuous, real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity inside refrigerated trailers, helping organizations protect temperature-sensitive goods in transit. With precise, minute‑by‑minute readings, multi‑zone coverage, and integrated alerts and reporting, the Motive Environmental Sensor makes it easier to prevent spoilage, maintain cold chain compliance, and respond quickly when conditions change.

Key features

  • Real-time Temperature and Humidity Monitoring: Tracks temperature and humidity with precise 1‑minute readings inside refrigerated trailers, giving you up-to-date visibility into cargo conditions.
  • Proactive Reefer Alerts: Continuously monitors environmental conditions and sends alerts when temperature or humidity moves outside configured ranges, helping teams take action quickly to protect loads. 
  • Multi-zone Coverage: Supports up to six sensors per Asset Gateway, enabling independent zone‑level readings across multiple compartments in a single trailer to monitor different products or temperature ranges in parallel.
  • Cold Chain Compliance: Captures detailed historical temperature and humidity logs that can be exported for cold chain compliance, delivery acceptance, and root-cause investigations when issues arise.
  • Driver App Reefer Support: Surfaces key reefer conditions and alerts in the Motive Driver App so drivers can respond quickly to temperature deviations or sensor alarms while cargo is in transit.
  • Reefer Monitoring Integration: Works with Motive Asset Gateway Solar and Mini, along with Reefer Monitoring to provide a complete view of trailer conditions, combining live sensor data, alerts, and historical reports in the Motive Dashboard.
  • Configurable thresholds and recipients: Allows admins to define minimum and maximum temperature ranges, dwell time before alerting, and recipient lists including external contacts, so the right people are notified as soon as conditions drift from the target range.
  • Rugged Hardware: Delivers reliable performance in harsh trailer environments with IP67 and IP69K weather resistance, ensuring sensors continue to operate accurately despite moisture, washdowns, and vibration.
  • Improved Asset Utilization and Visibility: Helps eliminate visibility gaps across refrigerated assets by centralizing reefer monitoring data in one place, reducing manual checks, and supporting more efficient operations.
