For fleet operators moving temperature-sensitive cargo, even the smallest climate deviation or unauthorized door opening can lead to compliance issues and lost revenue through spoilage and cargo theft. To close those gaps, Motive is introducing Door and Environmental Sensor, a wireless sensor that combines accurate climate monitoring with door status data in one device. 

The Motive Door and Environmental Sensor gives fleet and operations leaders real-time visibility across both reefer monitoring and cargo security, so they can protect loads without adding manual work or more disconnected tools. 

For food and beverage, trucking, and other organizations transporting high value goods, spoilage and security risks often happen together. By capturing door status and environmental conditions in one device, Motive Door and Environmental Sensor helps fleet managers: 

• Monitor temperature and other environmental conditions around the cargo.
• Know exactly when and where cargo doors open and close.
• Tie those events directly to drivers, vehicles, and routes through Motive’s platform. 

Temperature excursions can be one of the most expensive and frustrating problems for cold chain fleets. Loads may look fine at the dock, but somewhere between pickup and delivery, conditions can drift out of range and your team only finds out when a receiver rejects the shipment. Unlike point solutions that require fleets to juggle multiple tools and providers, Motive offers a unified platform that lets companies manage all their operations in one place. Motive Door and Environmental Sensor, which combines precise temperature, humidity, and door monitoring in one device. 

• Motive Environmental Sensor, which enables temperature and humidity tracking across multiple cargo zones.
• Motive Asset Gateway Mini, which serves as the reefer’s telematics hub, delivering both GPS tracking and support coming soon for up to six sensors. Asset Gateway Mini is best for trailers and large box trucks.
• Motive Vehicle Gateway, which also serves as the sensor hub, delivering GPS, vehicle telematics, and data from up to six sensors. Perfect for smaller reefer box trucks and cargo vans.
• API-based OEM integrations for Carrier and Thermo King, which provide direct control over reefer units and surface reefer alarms directly to the Motive platform. 

With Motive, teams can investigate excursions, verify conditions, simplify compliance, and resolve disputes from a single view — instead of stitching together partial answers from multiple systems. 

Combined with Motive’s existing physical security capabilities — such as asset tracking, geofence-based risk alerts, and Unfamiliar Driver Alerts — the Door and Environmental Sensor helps reduce opportunities for theft and misuse before they turn into claims or write offs.
