  • Allowed immediate corrective action to protect high-value products and prevent financial losses


Key Components of the Solution:

IoT Sensor

The sensor is placed inside cold rooms and is built for use in low-temperature environments. It is ideal for continuous temperature monitoring to ensure product safety and compliance.

IoT Gateway

The gateway plays a crucial role in facilitating continuous and seamless transmission of data to the cloud. This setup enables efficient and reliable real-time temperature monitoring.

Monitoring Dashboard

The cloud-based dashboard enables users to remotely view temperature trends, receive alerts when parameters are breached, and download detailed reports on temperature fluctuations.
