DATA LOGGERS - ENSURE COLD-CHAIN COMPLIANCE

The food industry has known for many years that maintenance of storage temperatures for refrigerated and frozen products is critical to the product’s SAFETY, QUALITY & SHELF LIFE. Almost all manufacturers are able to maintain warehouse temperatures but it is after the goods have left their care and are en-route to customers that control is lost. Conventional vehicle monitoring only records ‘air-on’ and ‘air-off’ the refrigeration unit which gives no insight into product temperature.

Conventional refrigerated vehicle loggers also only keep a record that may or may not be properly reviewed and the manufacturer rarely has access to the data.

DAN data loggers transmit data routinely to a website where it is available for review by everyone who has an interest and a password. DAN units record temperature at a number of critical points within the vehicle as well as provide records for ‘INDICATIVE PRODUCT TEMPERATURE‘ that will significantly aid further analysis. DAN achieves this reading by encasing one probe in a sleeve with the same thermal conductivity as the packaging on the product.

DAN data loggers can also monitor and record door-openings and closings providing improved opportunity to train vehicle operators and better ensure cold chain compliance. This is particularly appropriate for foodservice distribution where one vehicle makes many stops.
