The functions of smartphones are becoming more and more sophisticated, and consumption patterns are also changing. Online shopping combined with logistics and home delivery of goods has become the norm in today's society. The climate in Taiwan is hot and humid, which can easily cause fresh fruits and vegetables or food to spoil. The good operation of low-temperature equipment is a necessary condition for maintaining the freshness and quality of food. The delivery and sale of home delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables or low-temperature food, keeping the food at the most appropriate temperature so that consumers can enjoy high-quality and safe food has gradually become an important factor in the development of the food market.

The real-time logistics history that can be remotely monitored by mobile phones can provide the quality credit certificates required by consumers, producers or distributors, and can be used to clarify the responsibility for poor product quality, causing consumers to return goods through reverse logistics, causing production loss to the operator or dealer.

The production history has been in the country for many years, fresh fruits and vegetables with production history or Food can be sold at a higher price, which also provides consumers with good choices in purchasing, and at the same time increases the profits of producers or marketers. However, the logistics process can only provide information on where the goods are delivered to at present, but cannot provide the values of important parameters that affect quality such as temperature and humidity in the logistics process, making it difficult to guarantee the quality of the goods.

This innovative device that can be used for remote monitoring with smart mobile devices to generate real-time logistics history can effectively provide necessary logistics information for producers, marketers, logistics operators and consumers, and can make up for the inability of production history to show quality variation through logistics status.

4. Energy-saving device: Use infrared rays to detect the movement of the human body close to the logistics box to activate or deactivate the corresponding energy.

5. Video monitoring: camera sensor monitors the environment.

6. Network use: WiFi connection network to store data in the cloud.

This innovative device can be used for remote monitoring with smart mobile devices to generate real-time logistics history. At the same time, production, sales, customers, and logistics operators can all connect to receive information, grasp logistics status, and clarify logistics responsibilities for poor quality.
