REMOTE TEMPERATURE CONTROL OF PRODUCT STORAGE UNIT METHODS AND APPARATUSES

摘要

Some embodiments provide apparatuses and methods of providing control over remote product storage units. Some systems comprises: a remote product storage unit that comprises a temperature control system configured to control a temperature within at least a temperature controlled portion of the product storage unit; a delivery control system remote from the product storage unit and comprising: a transceiver; a control circuit coupled with the transceiver; and a memory coupled to the control circuit and storing computer instructions that when executed by the control circuit cause the control circuit to: determine that a product scheduled for delivery to the product storage unit requires the temperature control system of the product storage unit to be activated; and communicate a signal to activate the temperature control system as a function of an estimated product delivery time.
