Challenges
With Hong Seafood’s dedication to ensuring highest product quality and food safety for customers, maintaining proper temperatures is crucial for seafood quality, especially prawns. Hong Seafood previously relied on a built-in cold room monitoring system, but it could no longer meet their needs.
It also supports a smooth audit process by Singapore Food Agency (SFA), which enforces food safety standards, including proper storage temperatures. SFA audits require businesses to provide accurate temperature records from their cold rooms.
To uphold their commitment to quality and food safety, they invested in a new external temperature monitoring system to enhance operations.
Solution
Hong Seafood chose IOTezy as a reliable solution to monitor cold room temperatures and receive instant alerts for any deviations. The system is easy to install and use, with multiple sensors capturing temperature data and sending it to a web browser for remote access and audit reporting.
A key benefit is receiving real-time breach alerts via Telegram, allowing quicker response compared to their old system, which only showed alerts on the control panel.
Key Components of the Solution:
IoT Sensor
These sensors were placed in incubators, where temperature regulation is critical. The wireless sensors are capable of withstanding high temperatures, making them ideal.
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.
Benefits
1. Real-Time Alerts and Remote Monitoring:
Hong Seafood can now monitor cold room temperatures remotely through the dashboard, eliminating the need for staff to be physically on-site. Any deviation from the set range triggers instant alerts, enabling quick action. This real-time visibility helps ensure that seafood is consistently stored at safe temperatures, maintaining product quality and compliance.
2. Increased Operational Efficiency and Compliance:
The IoT monitoring system helps Hong Seafood meet certification requirements such as ISO, ASC, and MSC by providing continuous temperature monitoring and real-time logging of any deviations. With fewer manual checks needed, the team can focus on higher-value tasks, boosting overall productivity and operational efficiency.
3. Cost Savings and Waste Prevention:
Early detection of temperature deviations allows for corrective actions before materials or test runs are compromised. This intervention reduces the risk of sample spoilage by enabling quicker responses.
Accurate monitoring and early alerts reduce the risk of significant damage, ensuring valuable samples are protected from potential harm.
4. Seamless Integration and Hassle-Free Installation
IOTezy’s solution is quick to install, requiring minimal disruption to ongoing operations. The wireless sensors are easy to place, and the system requires little on-site intervention.
Integration with the cloud ensures secure data storage, with easy remote access to temperature data, which enhances convenience for teams working in different locations.
