For food, beverage and pharmaceutical businesses, a fridge failure overnight can destroy thousands of dollars of stock. Manual temperature logs only show what happened after the damage is done. IoT monitoring changes that.
How it works
- Wireless sensors record temperature and humidity every few minutes
- Data is sent to a cloud platform via a gateway or cellular connection
- Alerts go out by SMS, email or WhatsApp the moment readings leave the safe range
- Records are stored automatically for audits and quality checks
Where to monitor
| Location | Why |
|---|---|
| Cold rooms and freezers | Largest stock value at risk |
| Reefer trucks and vans | Excursions during delivery |
| Display fridges in stores | Product quality at point of sale |
Connect it to your ERP
Linking sensor data to batches and locations in your ERP means you can instantly see which lots were affected by an excursion and quarantine only those, rather than everything.
