Ensuring optimal temperatures is paramount for many industries, from healthcare to food processing. It can help companies safeguard employees and comply with regulations. A wireless temperature monitoring system offers an efficient and advanced solution.
Key Temperature Regulations across Industries
- Healthcare: Medications require storage between 59° to 77°F. Blood bank storage requires temperatures from +35° to +50°C.
- Production Facilities and Computer Rooms: Specific areas must be maintained at much cooler temperatures than other parts of a facility to prevent equipment overheating that can damage computer components. ASHRAE recommends 64.4 to 80.6°F for A1 to A4 class hardware.
- Food Processing: The USDA demands precise temperatures for stored foods. Dry grains should be stored at temperatures of 50°F, refrigerated foods between 32°–40°F and frozen foods at 0° or lower.
The Inadequacy of Manual Temperature Tracking
Manual temperature tracking is not only time-intensive but also error-prone. Temperature discrepancies can result in product corruption or halted operations since they can take hours to identify.
And what happens if temperatures rise in a computer room or storage area after hours? Most likely, spoilage or equipment failures that result in thousands of dollars in lost revenue.
The answer? A wireless temperature monitoring system.
How Wireless Temperature Monitoring Systems Excel
These systems, compared to outdated manual methods, harness advanced technology to streamline and automate temperature management. They can be utilized in facilities or within transportation fleets holding chilled products.
Their rising popularity is evident in the growth from $2.19 billion in 2021 to a projected $4.71 billion by 2028, as per Fortune Business Insights.
Why Opt for Wireless Temperature Monitoring Systems?
More companies are installing wireless temperature monitoring systems based on the many benefits derived from it. Here are five:
- Real-Time Monitoring: Facilitates 24/7 real-time tracking, regulation, and control, even remotely via smart devices. A remote temperature monitoring system streamlines operations by enabling operators to easily track, control, and regulate temperatures in different environments simultaneously in real-time on a 24/7 basis without even entering the facility.
Information is accessible from a control room or in the field from smart devices so personnel don’t have to be in the immediate vicinity to gather readings.
- Configurable Alerts: Instant alerts for specific temperature thresholds to preemptively address changes. Systems are configurable to send an alarm when temperatures reach a specific threshold.
Assigned personnel automatically receive alerts to take immediate action. Even a slight change in temperature will prompt an alert that gives enough time to make corrections or identify any equipment failures that may contribute to varying temperature levels.
- Customizable Thresholds: Adapt temperature settings based on distinct operational needs. Users can set minimum and maximum thresholds for specific areas to customize operations. Some operations can handle larger temperature deviations while others can only tolerate minor changes so having the ability to customize specific thresholds for each application is important.
- Data Logging: Oversee temperatures over durations for compliance and quality control. Analyze data for system reliability.
Companies can monitor temperatures over time for compliance reporting or to gain a better understanding of what temperatures products have experienced over time to make informed decisions about quality control. Analytic reports also provide information on spikes, anomalies, and failures to evaluate the reliability of a refrigerator, HVAC, or other system that serves to cool the environment.
A wireless temperature monitoring system simplifies operations over hard-wired installations as it eliminates the need run cables from sensors and the remote monitoring system. In addition, cables may present tripping hazards in a facility or require building modifications to run them through walls, floors, and ceilings. Hardwired systems also may not be feasible in monitoring different assets in large-scale environments such as greenhouses. Installation of wireless systems also may be cheaper and faster.
