Quality control and monitoring of goods during the cold chain is an increasing concern for producers, suppliers, logistic decision makers and consumers. In this paper we present the results of a combination of RFID and WSN devices in a set of studies performed in three commercial wholesale chambers of 1848 m3 with different set points and products. Up to 90 semi-passive RFID temperature loggers were installed simultaneously together with seven motes, during one week in each chamber. 3D temperature mapping charts were obtained and also the psychrometric data model from ASABE was implemented for the calculation of enthalpy changes and the absolute water content of air. Thus thank to the feedback of data, between RFID and WSN it is possible to estimate energy consumption in the cold room, water loss from the products and detect any condensation over the stored commodities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s150304781","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,26]],"date-time":"2015-02-26T10:07:43Z","timestamp":1424945263000},"page":"4781-4795","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":81,"title":["Refrigerated Fruit Storage Monitoring Combining  Two Different Wireless Sensing Technologies: RFID and WSN"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Ricardo","family":"Badia-Melis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda Agroforestal, ETSI Agr\u00f3nomos, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6656-6507","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis","family":"Ruiz-Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda Agroforestal, ETSI Agr\u00f3nomos, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Javier","family":"Garcia-Hierro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sensors Technology Laboratory, Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Metal\u00fargicas, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas (CENIM-CSIC), Avenida Gregorio del Amo 8, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jose","family":"Villalba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sensors Technology Laboratory, Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Metal\u00fargicas, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas (CENIM-CSIC), Avenida Gregorio del Amo 8, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"42","DOI":"10.1016\/j.compag.2011.08.010","article-title":"The role of RFID in agriculture: Applications, limitations and challenges","volume":"79","author":"Lunadei","year":"2011","journal-title":"Comput.
