REMOTE TEMPERATURE CONTROL OF PRODUCT STORAGE UNIT METHODS AND APPARATUSES
First Claim
1. A system providing control over remote product storage units, comprising:
- 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.
