The answer to this question lies in:

1. The extent to which a temperature data logger automates the process of data collection
2. Whether data monitoring is continuous
3. Flexibility in system set-up

Temperature data loggers supplied by Data Acquisition Networks have an A+ rating on each of these criteria. Data collection is 24/7 and not just when someone has the time, data monitoring is continuous enabling food storage history to be tracked without gaps and the DAN website enables the user to logon much as you do to your bank account and change system parameters and set up alarms.

 Data Acquisition Networks is committed to ‘excellence and affordable solution’ for temperature data logging!

Organisations serious about food safety are thinking about more than just placing a temperature data logger on a storage room wall and asking someone in their organisation to write down the temperature twice a day! Experienced managers know that more is required.

Staff record temperatures for food storage normally when they have time to do it. When the area is busy (and there is no time to record temperatures) staff are going in and out of the chilled or frozen storage area, exposing it to outside temperatures and it is at these times that food temperature abuse occurs.

Data Acquisition Networks temperature data loggers not only ‘poll’ every input 19x each second they also report a maximum, a minimum and an average for every reporting period and DAN temperature data loggers keep monitoring 24/7. DAN temperature data loggers send alarms that provide a warning of climbing temperature and can also monitor how often and for how long storage room doors are left open which is a common cause of temperature abuse.

TEMPERATURE DATA LOGGERS

DAN Temperature Data Loggers are simple to install, inexpensive and very accurate.

DAN Temperature data loggers COLLECT and RECORD data in a way that it can be accessed remotely or by a number of users issued with password access. DAN Temperature data loggers also send alarms by email and SMS that alert to an approaching problem and provide sufficient time for corrective action to be taken. They also provide the opportunity to monitor more than temperature alone for no additional cost. For example, ‘door openings’ on a refrigerated room can also be monitored.

DAN Temperature data loggers can be used in a variety of applications all of which have temperature monitoring as a critical requirement.

Perishable & Frozen Food - Storage Temperature Monitoring

Temperature & ORP Monitoring - Food Processing

Temperature Monitoring - Restaurants

Milk Vat Cooling - Temperature Monitoring

Data Acquisition Networks equipment is used to monitor temperature in a variety of applications. The most often found is monitoring temperature for food storage.

perishable food products are highly susceptible to contamination when they are not stored and maintained at the correct temperature. The incidence of food-borne illness around the world is growing rather than diminishing. It is a heavy cost on the public purse and a significant inconvenience to those it impacts.

Most often, food-borne illness can be tracked back to improper storage so don’t delay . . . . . . . . . . .

Food that is stored in coolrooms is perishable by nature and strict temperature controls are necessary to preserve the safety, integrity and shelf life of the product irrespective of whether the food is packaged or ready-to-serve.

Some foods that are temperature abused permit the growth of bacteria that can be injurous to health or in some circumstances, fatal. In almost every circumstance, a perishable food that is temerpature abused suffers a reduction in useable shelf life. At the expiry of its useable life food can lose physical structure, nutritional value or taste as the balance of flavours begin to break down. In some circumstances, all three can occur.

The outcome of temperature abuse at very best is the eating quality of the food can be corrupted and at worst, the food can be unhealthy to eat. KEEPING TEMPERATURE IN COOLROOM STORAGE AREAS FOR FOOD IS THEREFORE CRITICAL TO THE PERFORMANCE OF A FOOD UNIT.

HACCP requires operators to routinely take temperatures and record those temperatures in a permanent way. DAN units undertake that function 24/7 and at hourly intervals. Many food institutions have staff writing down temperatures several times a day which can miss times when temperature is lost. Also, some staff have been known to write down a tempreature that they know will not create a problem or investigation irrespective of what temperature they see. In a worst-ever-seen food establishment, a staff member was recording temperatures three days in advance because they knew they would be too busy to do it when it needed to be done.

 DAN systems send alarms to notify managers of a problem so that immediate corrective action can be taken.

Don’t allow the quality of the food you distribute to suffer because you do not monitor temperatures routinely. DAN systems cost so little yet offer much protection.
