Yes, Ecotact Bags are US FDA & EU compliant food grade packaging. The relevant SGS certification can be sent by us on request.
The ballooning effect in hermetic storage bags occurs when air is trapped inside the bags along with the beans or grains during the filling and sealing process. This trapped air can create internal pressure during transit, and if not managed properly, this pressure can lead to the bag bursting. At Ecotact, we stress on the importance of removing as much air as possible before sealing the bags filled with beans or grains to ensure the safety and integrity of your valuable coffee, cocoa, or grains during transportation.
The Pentapak can be sealed using either heat sealing or zip sealing.
To ensure effective sealing of the storage bags and to protect the produce from external air and moisture, it is crucial to use two cable ties provided with each bag at no additional cost. For detailed instructions on proper sealing techniques, please refer to the user manual included with your purchase.
Ecotact Sampler Bags are specially designed to cater to coffee/cocoa/food grains sampling which is a wide spread activity within the food industry. The green coffee which needs to reach roasters should be ‘farm fresh’ which is ensured by Ecotact Sampler Bags. Ecotact Storage Bags are strong with high oxygen and moisture barrier properties that keep green coffee/ cocoa/ food grains fresh throughout the supply chain. They also lock in aroma and can stand high temperatures upto 90 degree celsius and upto -30 degree celsius. Ecotact Sterile Vacuum Bags are high barrier bags that help keep coffee beans/cocoa and grains fresh for a longer duration. They are scientifically sealed after extracting excess air with the help of specially designed vacuum packing machines.

Trace IQ™ is Ecotact's real-time monitoring device that tracks the location, temperature, and humidity of a shipment from origin to destination. It provides complete visibility into how cargo is handled throughout its journey, ensuring the condition of the product is known at every stage, not merely its location.
Trace IQ™ is designed for exporters, importers, roasters, and logistics partners operating across agricultural and food supply chains, including green coffee, cocoa, nuts, produce, and other temperature-sensitive commodities.
Trace IQ™ supports a wide range of applications, including green coffee, cocoa, nuts, and other agricultural commodity transport; produce and perishables transport; pharmaceutical and other temperature-sensitive cargo; general transportation and logistics monitoring; and warehouse monitoring, for both small and large facilities.
Yes. Trace IQ™ is well suited to this stage of the supply chain and can be placed inside a container or truck for the duration of the journey. It monitors humidity and temperature as indicators of moisture and storage conditions, tracks approximate location throughout transit, and its light sensor can help flag unexpected access to the cargo, supporting checks against pilferage or tampering.
Trace IQ™ provides real-time shipment monitoring, ensuring continuous visibility into cargo location and condition; environmental monitoring of temperature, humidity, and light; a cloud-based dashboard accessible at any time, from any location; data that can be shared directly with buyers, partners, and auditors; automated shipment reports documenting the product's journey and condition; and early identification of risk points, enabling issues to be addressed before they result in losses.
An account can be created directly on www.ecotact.online using an email address and password. Once registered, the user gains immediate access to shipment data through the dashboard.
There is no dedicated mobile application. Trace IQ™ updates are delivered through the web-based cloud platform at www.ecotact.online, which can be accessed from any browser on a mobile phone or computer, allowing shipment status to be checked at any time.
No separate SIM or mobile plan is required. Each Trace IQ™ device comes with its own built-in SIM, already active for the shipment tracking period, and connectivity is included as part of the device cost. There is no additional plan for the client to arrange or pay for separately.
Operating Trace IQ™ involves a few simple steps: press the button to activate the device; place it inside a poly mailer and secure it near the container door, close to the loaded commodity; the device will automatically record and transmit temperature, humidity, and light data throughout transit; and the cloud platform can be accessed at any time to review shipment data.
Press and hold the button for approximately three seconds. The green OK light will remain lit continuously for five seconds, confirming that the device has powered on and begun transmitting data.
No. Once activated, the device cannot be switched off, deactivated, or restarted. It will continue operating until its battery life is exhausted or the shipment's tracking period concludes. For this reason, it is recommended that the device be activated only when monitoring is ready to begin for a specific shipment.
Trace IQ™ operates on a built-in battery that is not designed to be recharged. For shipment tracking, this battery powers the device for its complete working life in a single continuous cycle, of up to ninety days. For warehouse monitoring, customised solutions are available upon request to support longer-duration deployments. Please contact the Ecotact team to discuss requirements for your facility.
Once active, the green OK light flashes every ten seconds. A short press of the button at any time will also trigger a single green flash, confirming normal operation.
A flashing red light indicates that a recorded temperature or humidity reading has exceeded the configured safe range. A short press of the button will confirm this with a single red flash.
For container shipments, the device should be placed inside a poly mailer and secured near the container door, at a height of approximately six feet or slightly above. This positioning is important, as a shipping container can obstruct signal transmission; signal can typically pass only through the rubber gaskets surrounding the doors, so placing the device near the door, at this height, improves transmission reliability. For individual pallet covers, which is a distinct scenario from a full container shipment, the device should be placed inside the pallet cover itself, close to the loaded commodity, so that it accurately reflects the conditions of that specific pallet.
Yes, Trace IQ™ is well suited to both small and large warehouse environments. As coverage depends on factors such as warehouse size, airflow, and product placement, it is recommended to first map temperature variation across the warehouse using low-cost sensors over a period of approximately one week, and then position Trace IQ™ devices at the critical points identified. The Ecotact team is available to guide this process.
Trace IQ™ devices are single-use for shipment tracking, with the SIM deactivated once the shipment's tracking period concludes, typically around three months. Extended battery life, rechargeable configurations, and longer SIM activation periods are available as customised solutions; please contact the Ecotact team to discuss these options for warehouse or other longer-duration applications.
Once activated, a device cannot be turned off or reset, and is not suitable for reuse on another shipment. Should this occur, please contact the Ecotact team, who will assist with a replacement.
The device continues to record data locally even if it temporarily loses signal, for example while passing through an area with limited network coverage. Once connectivity is restored, the device transmits all readings collected in the interim, ensuring no data is lost, although there may be a delay before the information appears on the dashboard.
During sea transit, there may be extended periods with no cellular network available, such as while the vessel is at open sea. The device continues to record temperature, humidity, and light data locally throughout this period, and transmits the complete set of readings once the shipment comes back within network range, typically on approaching port. No data is lost during the gap, though it will not appear on the dashboard until connectivity resumes.
A gap in updates does not necessarily indicate that the device has failed; it typically means the signal is not reaching the network at that time. Common causes include the shipping container obstructing transmission, as signal can only pass through the door gaskets, or the shipment passing through an area with limited network coverage. Data collected during this period is not lost, as the device continues logging locally and transmits all information once connectivity is restored. If updates remain absent for an extended period, please contact the Ecotact support team, who will assist in verifying the device's status.
Yes, Trace IQ™ is an IoT (Internet of Things) device. It uses 4G/2G cellular connectivity to transmit temperature, humidity, and light data at set intervals to a cloud-based dashboard, and LBS (cell-tower-based) technology for location tracking.
Yes. Trace IQ™ includes a built-in light sensor that detects changes between bright and dark conditions, such as when a container door is opened, helping to flag any unexpected access to the shipment during transit.
Trace IQ™ measures temperatures from –20°C to +60°C, accurate to within ±0.3°C, and humidity levels of up to 90% RH (non-condensing), accurate to within ±3% RH.
The temperature and humidity sensor is manufactured by a leading global sensor manufacturer and is factory-calibrated prior to shipment.
Trace IQ™ provides location data through LBS (cell-tower-based) positioning rather than GPS. While GPS typically offers accuracy within a few metres, LBS-based tracking is approximate, ranging from tens to several hundred metres, with greater precision generally achieved in dense urban areas. A GPS-enabled configuration would require a different device build, resulting in higher power consumption and a shorter operating life.
The device is designed to operate for approximately three months from the point of activation, covering the typical duration of an international shipment.
Transmission: 4G / 2G · Uploading interval: every 30 minutes · Memory: up to 20,000 readings · Battery: built-in 3.7V / 3000mAh lithium · Working time: up to 90 days · Dimensions: 90mm × 64mm × 27mm.
