Multi variety fleet cold chain management hardware module system

A method of managing perishable goods within a cold chain distribution system, the method comprising:

• transporting perishable goods, using a refrigerated container;
• cooling the perishable goods using a refrigeration unit coupled to the refrigerated container, the refrigeration unit being configured to provide conditioned air to the refrigerated container;
• controlling the operation of the refrigeration unit using a controller;
• monitoring, using a plurality of sensors, parameters associated with at least one of the perishable goods, the refrigeration unit, and the refrigerated container, the plurality of sensors configured to transmit the parameters to the controller;
• transmitting, using a network, at least one of driver feedback, user commands, and the parameters from a first user device to a storage device, the first user device being located proximate to the refrigerated container and configured to allow manual entry of at least one of driver feedback and user commands;
• storing, using the storage device, at least one of the driver feedback, the user commands, the parameters, and requirements;
• and
• analyzing, using a processor, at least one of the driver feedback, the user commands, the parameters, and the requirements.
