Cold Storage Monitoring
Cold Storage Monitoring for Low Temps
Unlock continuous cold storage monitoring
Temperature and humidity data loggers are crucial in cold storage monitoring. This application can span several different industries, with perishable goods, pharmaceuticals and other biological materials requiring storage under optimal conditions.
Cold storage monitoring systems are an easy way to achieve real-time measurements, alarm and alert capabilities, and reliable data reporting. Whether it is laboratory temperature monitoring or GMP and FDA cold storage monitoring processes, the importance of data loggers is clear. They provide regulatory compliance, prevention of product loss and waste as well as enhanced personnel safety and quality control of environments.
A variety of guidelines, including the FDA, WHO, CDC, HACCP and GMP, all address cold storage monitoring as a crucial aspect of maintaining adherence to regulatory standards.
Cold storage monitoring facilities can span individual instruments including fridges and freezers, or whole spaces, including warehouses and transport containers.

Cold Storage Types and Monitoring Benefits
Cold storage is prevalent across many sectors, uniting several different pieces of equipment and storage areas is the vital need for continuous monitoring. We've detailed some of the common spaces and instruments that deploy cold storage and how their requirements for monitoring differ:
Fridges & Chambers
These instruments maintain controlled environmental temperatures, typically operating at ambient and low temperatures ranging from 2°C and 8°C or down to -40°C. These refrigerators, freezers and chambers can have large-scale industrial footprints, or be benchtops, regardless of their size a data logger or monitoring system is vital to ensure that the temperatures across the various locations of the chamber remain within the desired testing range.
Rooms & Warehouses
A cold room or designated warehousing space is typically a walk-in space and storage facilities which provide a constant climatic temperature that is suitable for bulk storage of temperature-sensitive goods. Operating at similar temperatures to an individual chamber, the priority here is to ensure that the temperature remains consistent across a much larger area. Back up temperature control systems should also be in place for continuity of cold storage monitoring in all scenarios.
Transportation
As part of the cold chain, transportation containers are responsible for the proper distribution and reception of biological samples and materials as well as food and beverage products. Temperature ranges can vary, however, they must be monitored to ensure any fluctuations are properly logged. Delays in transport times, risks to power and the opening and closing of doors can all have a large impact on the stability of any transported goods.
Finding the right cold storage monitoring system
For reach-in and walk-in cold storage areas, monitoring systems can vary. What is common between each solution is a few vital features including data logging. The use of sensors for temperature measurement is the first approach to creating a system that works for you. From here, we can decide on alters, alarm settings, backup history, battery life, remote or housed options and accessibility.
Short to medium-term storage can require automated reporting, real-time monitoring, an expansive historical data capability, as well as a wireless sensor for placement inside the chamber.
Long-term and bulk storage often need remote accessibility for stakeholder access, multiple alarm settings, backup systems and sensors that can map a large location to provide a complete picture of the loorplan.
