This article presents a review of the literature related to the topic discussed and then discusses the system enabling the collection of data for analysis, the components of which are described in the paper. Next, a case study containing analyses of the circulation of logistic containers and the quality of deliveries is presented. Finally, a discussion of the results is presented. Background: This research is instrumental in navigating the intricacies of using these insulated containers of disturbances in the cold supply chain is imperative for ensuring the safety of perishable items, pharmaceuticals, and medical provisions, all of which necessitate precise temperature storage. Moreover, it holds significant sway over the efficacy of logistics, curtails losses, and guarantees adherence to regulatory stipulations and quality benchmarks. Research target: The research aimed to analyze the circulation of isothermal containers and indirectly assess the transportation quality for food products using the example of a 3PL company. Method: The article addresses issues encountered in the transportation of products within the cold supply chain. Using a company as an example, the temperature of coolboxes at the beginning of the logistics cycle, temperature distribution during transportation, and the temperature at the end of delivery were analyzed. The circulation of containers, their utilization over time, cycle durations, and the entire container circulation process were also examined. Results: Based on the collected data, recommendations were formulated to enhance product quality and increase container utilization. This research offers valuable insights into improving the efficiency and quality of logistics processes, specifically within the cold chain transportation industry, and provides recommendations for better managing temperature-sensitive product transportation.
