Temperature monitoring is essential to ensure food safety (HACCP) and drug safety, for example in the pharmaceutical industry, medication transport and pharmacies. IoT temperature sensors automatically and accurately record temperatures at all times and alert you to any deviations. This eliminates the need for human intervention. It prevents errors and ensures continuous monitoring, even outside working hours.
Food safety is essential throughout the food chain, from the food industry to retail and (institutional) catering. Adherence to the seven principles of HACCP is a prerequisite for ensuring food safety. Temperature is often an important critical management point, and manual monitoring carries risks. After all, human work is prone to error. Mistakes are easily made and readings can be missed. Automated temperature monitoring is often seen as complicated and expensive, but that does not have to be the case. IoT temperature sensors basically are stickers which you can place in an inconspicuous position in your chiller cabinet or cold store. The device is flat and no bigger than your hand. At the times you set, it sends temperature readings to your dashboard, and you'll get an instant notification if the temperature exceeds your set limits. The reading or notification is sent as a very small data packet via LoRaWAN, the Long Range, Wide Area Network, a global long-range data communications network. You always have complete data and, importantly, you can take immediate action if food safety is compromised.
Automatic temperature monitoring prevents spoilage and ensures continuous compliance with laws and regulations
Ensuring product quality is also important in the pharmaceutical industry and the transport of medicines. If products are transported or stored at the wrong temperature, lives can be put at risk and therefore regulatory compliance is even more important in the pharmaceutical industry than elsewhere. Temperature monitoring during transport and storage is essential. Again, temperature sensors are a useful tool. As in the food chain, the sensors send their readings to your dashboard, app or other software environment at set times. If predefined values are exceeded, the system alerts you immediately so that action can be taken to prevent spoilage or loss of valuable products. This ensures patient safety at all times.
Temperature monitoring can also be very important in other sectors. In the cosmetics industry, for example, product spoilage can cause health risks. And in agriculture and (greenhouse) horticulture, temperature monitoring can help optimise crop yields and animal welfare. Suitable temperature sensors with LoRaWAN connectivity are available and affordable for such applications as well. The personalised dashboard and numerous integration options with your own software systems make this an efficient and affordable solution for many companies and organisations.
Connect IoT provides temperature sensors that enable your company or organisation to keep a firm grip on product quality and safety. Measured data can be viewed directly in your personalised dashboard, where you can monitor and further process information in reports and analyses. If the measured temperature exceeds a set point, you will receive an alert so you can take action. This makes it easy to comply with applicable laws and regulations and ensure the quality of your product. In addition to your own Connect IoT dashboard, you can integrate the data into your own software systems or applications.
