Customer experiences

IOT-ezy system saved us over Chinese Lunar New Year

During the second day of Chinese Lunar New Year in 2020, I experienced downtime in our cold room. Thanks to the IOT-ezy system, I was instantly alerted to a spike in temperature. I quickly contacted our cold room supplier, who rushed to investigate and resolve the issue. Without the IOT-ezy system, we could have faced a loss of millions of dollars worth of frozen fish stock.

How leading industries benefit from temperature monitoring systems

Hospitality

Temperature monitoring in the hospitality industry ensures that food is stored, prepared, and served under optimal conditions, reducing the risk of contamination or spoilage. It supports HACCP compliance, enhances food safety, and helps protect guests’ health while minimizing operational risks and waste.

Pharmaceutical

In the pharmaceutical sector, temperature monitoring plays a vital role in maintaining the safety and efficacy of temperature-sensitive products such as vaccines and biologics. By aligning with HACCP principles, accurate temperature control helps safeguard product integrity, ensures regulatory compliance, and reduces the risk of losses from temperature deviations.

Food Distributor

Temperature monitoring is a key component of HACCP in the food industry, particularly within the cold chain. It helps prevent spoilage and contamination by ensuring food is kept within safe temperature ranges. Real-time alerts enable swift corrective actions in response to temperature deviations, supporting regulatory compliance and preserving the safety and quality of perishable products.

Frequently Asked Questions

A HACCP monitoring system is a software solution designed to safeguard food products from contamination, ensuring they remain safe for consumption. While HACCP plans may differ across food industry businesses, nearly all operations implement some form of it to uphold food safety standards.

The 7 principles of HACCP include:

  • Conducting a hazard analysis
  • Identifying critical control points (CCPs)
  • Establishing critical limits for each CCP
  • Implementing a monitoring system
  • Defining corrective actions
  • Verifying the effectiveness of the HACCP Plan
  • Maintaining proper records and documentation

HACCP Principle 4 is about establishing a monitoring system to ensure that each Critical Control Point (CCP) is operating within its defined limits. It involves regularly checking parameters like temperature, time, pH, or other measurable factors to detect any deviations before they become food safety risks.

When executed effectively, HACCP monitoring enhances the overall process of preventing non-compliance with food safety standards. By providing immediate alerts before critical limits are breached, these systems help minimize the risk of food contamination. As a result, product quality is upheld, consumer safety is protected, and businesses preserve their trusted reputation.

Typical HACCP monitoring procedures include inspections, testing, audits, and reviewing documentation. The exact methods used can vary between businesses and depend on factors such as established critical limits, the features of the selected monitoring system, and how quickly it processes data.

Critical Control Points (CCPs) in HACCP are specific steps where control is essential to prevent or reduce food safety risks.

Typical parameters include:

Temperature (e.g., cold storage, cooking, holding)
Time (e.g., cooling times, exposure durations)
pH and water activity
Chemical concentration (e.g., in cleaning agents)
Packaging integrity and physical hazards

Monitoring can be done manually (e.g., logbooks, checklists) or with automated systems like IoT sensors that continuously track and record temperature, humidity, or pressure. Automated systems reduce human error and provide instant alerts when parameters fall outside of safe limits.

Frequency depends on the risk level of the process and the type of CCP. High-risk steps (like cooking or chilling) may require continuous or frequent monitoring, while others may only need periodic checks.

If monitoring shows a critical limit has been breached, corrective actions must be taken immediately. This could include discarding contaminated products, adjusting processes, or investigating equipment failure.
