Get a handle on your food cold rooms in the summer heat.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Summer and sun, nice and carefree days – if you have a safe monitoring system in place and keep track of food temperatures in your cold and freezer rooms. So that you don’t suddenly find yourself with unusable raw materials and inedible food in the middle of summer.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A power cut, a door ajar, too many goods in the same space… there are several risky scenarios for your cold stores that are difficult to anticipate, prevent and detect in time. Especially in summer. Fewer staff and holiday replacements mean that supervision is not kept up with or is forgotten. Instead of keeping an eye on temperatures, it’s about servicing the rush of customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid unnecessary additional costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

High outdoor temperatures in summer make it warmer indoors, which in turn can lead to higher temperatures in food storage areas. If you are not observant and quickly detect excessive temperatures, you may be forced to discard large quantities of produce and food. This is an immediate, unexpected and unnecessary additional cost, and it can be disruptive to business. In other words, you may have obvious problems delivering raw materials or offering food to customers in the near future before you have time to get home and restock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, there are various solutions for easy and reliable monitoring of cold stores. Peace of mind when food storage facilities are unmanned or when you and your colleagues simply don’t have the time to check the space from time to time. Choose the measurement solution that suits you best: data loggers from the testo Smart Connect<\/a> or Celsicom<\/a> monitoring systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple and flexible monitoring with alarms<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It’s easy to get started with logs from both systems. You don’t need to install any software, just open a browser, create an account and make a few settings – then the loggers are ready to start measuring. You can check current values remotely whenever you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An important detail:<\/strong> the loggers automatically send alarms via SMS or email if any cooling or freezing temperature approaches a critical limit. The alarm function can be linked to one or more of your employees and an external refrigeration company that is on call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

testo 162 loggers – part of testo Smart Connect<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

These data loggers are intended as a more permanent solution. They are powered by four AA batteries with an operating time of around one year and connect to a local Wi-Fi network. You can quickly read the current temperatures on the logger screens. All measurement data is also automatically sent to the testo Smart Connect cloud service. There you can easily configure the loggers, set limit values, analyze measurement data and send reports. If limit values are exceeded, you receive alarms by email. Connect to the testo Smart app for alerts via push notifications and even more smart features. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The testo 162 loggers are part of the testo Smart Connect measurement system, for monitoring sensitive indoor environments, and can also be combined with data loggers from the testo 160 or 164 series. The testo 162 T1 and testo 162 T2 data loggers meet the EN12830 quality mark and cover the monitoring of the most common temperature conditions in cold stores and freezers. Need for a larger measurement area? Then you should take a closer look at the testo 162 T3, which has a measuring range of -195 to +1 350 \u00b0C.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Celsicom logs<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Compact logs, easy to move around and assemble. Powered by two AA batteries with approximately one year of operation. These loggers do not need a base station\/gateway or local network. Each logger has its own connection via NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) on a frequency of the mobile phone network dedicated to data traffic. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The result:<\/strong> great coverage and virtually zero risk of interference. You can easily see the current temperature values on your mobile, tablet or computer. And you get unlimited cloud storage of measurement data in the Celsiview service for a low subscription cost. If you need to measure a wide range of temperatures or want two measurement channels, then choose the Celsicom TC602 with a measurement range of -200 to +1 372 \u00b0C.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n
