Fridge Temperature Monitoring
Fridge Temperature Monitoring Applications
Optimal fridge temperature monitoring systems for any industry
Fridge temperature monitoring is a critical process to ensure vaccines, medicines, perishable foods, laboratory samples and many other goods remain effective.
Present across various industries are refrigerator units of expansive sizes and temperatures. They are paramount in maintaining the integrity of temperature-sensitive products and goods including in healthcare, food storage, laboratory and other manufacturing environments.
A fridge temperature monitoring system is the ideal way to comply with regulatory bodies and outline the safety precautions in place for product stability. From the FDA, WHO, HACCP and CDC, cold storage is bound by the expectations of these bodies to reduce product recalls, and prevent spoilage and potential public health threats.
Optimal monitoring solutions will account for various factors to help you effectively manage your cold storage refrigerator. This includes real-time data capture, vast records and storage capabilities, remote accessibility, multiple alarm settings and much more.
Fridge Temperature Monitoring Applications
Refrigeration is prevalent across many settings and depending on the sector itself, the most important factors of fridge temperature monitoring can differ. Discover some common locations here:
Healthcare
From pharmacy fridges to pharmaceutical manufacturing cold rooms, the storage of drugs and related ingredients or products is paramount for public health. Not only does it mean we have access to an abundance of vital medications, but it also means that their efficacy, safety and quality remain intact for the duration of their long or short-term storage.
Food
Fridge temperature monitoring can expand into shelf life testing and many other applications when it comes to food and beverage. Cold temperatures are deployed for storage, testing and processing. To ensure microbial contamination risks are kept to a minimum, a monitoring solution will be suitable for various access points and remote surveillance.
Environmental
Agricultural and environmental applications will deploy fridges and refrigerated storage for any number of reasons. This could be seed storage or growth chambers, or long-term banking of vital materials that are paramount to maintain in the event of a natural disaster or emergency.
Laboratories
Labs store highly important samples, reagents, biological materials and much more. Here, a fridge temperature monitoring system means that you are always aware of the temperature within your fridge. Alarm functions also allow you to rectify any problems when the temperature within the fridge is nearly out of spec- avoiding the cost of wasted samples.
Setting up a fridge temperature monitoring system
The right fridge temperature monitoring system should operate independently of the unit/instrument and deliver consistency, reliability, and reassurance. We have successfully supported a range of customers across various industries, including research laboratories, pharmacies, food manufacturers, food retailers, catering companies and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Whether you are looking at compatibility with small fridge units or a large-scale industrial room/instrument, we will have the right equipment to help.
We stock a range of data loggers and temperature monitoring equipment therefore our advice is always independent and will be tailored to your needs. We are specialists in temperature and humidity and our engineers will consider several things before making a recommendation. They will consider your measurement parameters, the number of measurement locations, the purpose of the monitoring and its impact on your entire operation, IT infrastructure and many other factors.
The importance of deviation alerts
Rising requirements from regulatory and quality standards are the main drivers for the commercial demand for a reliable, accurate fridge temperature monitoring system.
Temperature conditions can have several impacts on your product or process. Adverse conditions can cause product degradation, safety issues or bring the integrity of samples into question. With several factors contributing to possible temperature deviations, including human error, power issues or hardware failures, the prompt alert notification is crucial.
By providing key personnel with a warning, emergency action plans can be implemented to intervene and protect products and invaluable work.
