Wireless Refrigeration Temperature Monitoring

Temperature control is a vital concern for the refrigeration industry. Undetected refrigeration failures can compromise temperature-sensitive products such as food, flowers and life science supplies, and stock can lose its freshness, quality and integrity. Refrigeration failure can also lead to the growth of bacteria and other harmful micro-organisms.

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) and other food safety legislation define a Critical Control Point (CCP) as a link in the production chain of a food product where a lack of monitoring could lead to a health hazard.

The traditional labor-intensive manual monitoring of refrigeration temperatures has proved unsatisfactory, since it relies too much on staff's knowledge and understanding of factors affecting food safety. Even hard wired automated solutions required an onsite PC, and remote access was only possible through the end of the customer's network.

Highlights and benefits of WAC's Internet-enabled Wireless Refrigeration Temperature Monitoring:

• Automates temperature reading irrespective of distance, location and environment.
• Collects data from sensing hardware and delivers it to a web-based central management application.
• 24/7 remote monitoring and supervision without human intervention
• Generates refrigeration system performance reports online.
• Reduces energy consumption.
• Increases refrigerated goods quality. 
• Meets the demands of food safety legislation
• Reduces number of service calls.  
• Instant notification of  temperature alarm
