FAQ
Points to consider include: (i) Dimensions and power consumption, (ii) Who will do the installation, (iii) Site readiness for installation, (iv) Temperature monitoring, (v) Alarm system, (vi) The need for a generator, (vii) The need for a voltage stabiliser, (viii) Spare parts, and (ix) Training for users and technicians. Refer to the WIC/WIF Product Guideline for more details.
Staff need to be trained in using and maintaining the equipment
correctly and confidently. The training will include routine and
preventive maintenance, such as temperature monitoring, cleaning of
the rooms and fault reporting.
Cold chain is a specialized supply chain where the products being transported
and stored need to be kept within a pre-approved cool temperature to ensure
that their quality remains high. The term combines a range of controlled temperatures,
always according to the product. Some products that require a cold chain approach
include foodstuffs such as meat and vegetables, many pharmaceuticals as well
as biological products ranging from donated blood to clinical samples
and gene-based drugs.
Ensuring product quality and safety requires that the cold chain has remained
unbroken, and the only way to verify that is to show proof. A temperature
monitoring system that can record continuously is the only way to know for
certain that the products have remained within acceptable temperature limits.
A good monitoring system can also help spot any problematic links in the chain.
This depends on where exactly in the cold chain you want to measure
temperature from. Wireless sensors are used for both stationary storage
monitoring as well as mobile monitoring in transportation.
These sensors can be modified with various measuring heads for specific
temperature measuring uses. In food production facilities and kitchens,
you can also find mobile probes connected to smart devices
that can be used to carry out temperature measurements as a part of HACCP tasks.
There are several advantages that can be realized through remote monitoring:
->Verifying the quality and condition of the product
->Saving money by decreasing wasted product
->Decreased labor demands when manual data entries can be eliminated.
->Timely alerts on temperature exception allow for corrective measures and rerouting
->Inspecting longer data periods helps recognize problem hotspots and generates insights for operational and process development

Maintaining the cold chain means ensuring that the product stays within an acceptable
temperature range at all times. Therefore, cold chain maintenance needs to consider
particularly those segments in the chain where something regularly changes. This
typically includes all occasions where the product changes hands, such as loading
and unloading in transportation hubs or manufacturer’s facility. Maintaining an
unbroken cold chain therefore needs to include all operators who have contact with
the product.
A temperature monitoring system can help in verifying that cold chain has been
maintained for the whole duration required.
This depends on what kind of things you want to monitor. There are
some pharmaceutical products that you want to keep at a specified humidity
range. Excessive humidity can also affect the packaging of many products,
which can render them unsellable.
The ultimate decision on whether you need to monitor humidity or not lies
with you, but if you decide that you need it, we provide multi-operational
sensors that
can measure both temperature and humidity, as well as other required parameters.
