Tell Cheka what matters to your operation.
Every farm and every transporter works differently. Cheka does not force a fixed list of events on you. Combine places, vehicle types and sensor readings into your own rules. Cheka then finds the events, tags them and alerts the right people.
Start with your map.
A zone is a place: a farm, a block, a packhouse, a cold store, a depot or a port. Rules use the zone type, so one rule works for all your packhouses.
- Cheka finds places where your vehicles stop often and suggests them as zones.
- Draw a zone on the map, or upload many at once from a GeoJSON file.
- Make your own zone types.
Leave, enter, or both.
A trip gets a tag when a vehicle leaves a type of place, enters one, or does both. Limit a rule to a vehicle type and set which rule wins.

Temperature, humidity and vibration.
Catch a value that stays out of range, or a value that changes too fast. Each rule can raise an alert, or only add an event to the logbook.
Vibration monitoringReefer stays too warm for too long
Alert reefer too warm
Reefer temperature jumps in a few minutes
Alert door probably open
Truck on a farm road rides rough
Rough road logged on the trip
Speed limits that fit the vehicle.
Use a fixed limit, or a margin over the speed limit of each road. Short peaks do not make alerts, so your team only sees real speeding.
Truck drives over the road limit
Alert speeding, with road and limit
Tractor drives too fast on a public road

The right band for each product.
Set the temperature and humidity band for a load, with a grace time for loading. Cheka checks every trip and marks it compliant or excursion.
- Ready-made bands for citrus, lemons, apples, tomatoes, avocados, stone fruit and table grapes, based on published postharvest guidelines.
- Link a band to a trailer, or to a route, for example packhouse to port.
- Change the band for one trip when the load was different.
From rule to alert to evidence.
A rule matches
Cheka checks new data against your rules as it arrives.
An event is made
The event goes into the logbook with its type, time, place and value.
An alert shows
For alert rules, the event shows on the map and in the alert list.
You acknowledge it
Open the alert, see the value that broke the limit, and mark it as seen.
