The challenge when an installation is remote to your own work location is to be certain in the knowledge everything is working as it should be. Storage temperatures are frequently the issue of concern.

 Data Acquisition Networks offers remote temperature monitoring that enables you to view data over the internet and to receive alarms when things start to go wrong enabling you to take early corrective action.

DAN temperature monitoring systems are also able to monitor other variables from almost any industrial probe so if you speak to DAN today about your remote temperature monitoring needs you may find you are able to monitor other critical parameters as well.

Food Standards Australia requires businesses to prepare and sell food that is safe to eat. Food causes illness because there are high levels of food-poisoning bacteria and these poisons are called toxins. “A way of preventing or limiting bacteria from multiplying or producing toxins in food is to control the temperature of the food by either keeping it cold or very hot”. Food Standards Australia requires potentially hazardous foods to be kept at 5degC or colder and prescribes that it is “safe for food to be between 5degC and 60degC for a limited time only”. Health regulators and inspectors commonly refer to the range between 5degC and 60degC as the DANGER ZONEfor perishable foods. Food Standards Australia defines potentially hazardous foods as foods that might contain food-poisoning bacteria and which will allow food-poisoning bacteria to multiply. Examples of potentially hazardous foods are listed as raw and cooked meat, smallgoods, dairy products, seafood, processed fruit and vegetables, cooked rice and pasta, foods containing eggs, beans and nuts and foods that contain these foods for example sandwiches and rolls. Many of these food types are also the foods that are inclusions in a balanced and nutritious diet.  Food Standards Australia also requires that potentially hazardous frozen foods are kept frozen when they are stored, displayed or transported. Whilst no specific temperature is specified for frozen food it must be kept frozen to remain safe. Temperature abuse of frozen food can also have a detrimental impact on eating quality. It is commonly accepted that -18degC is a safe temperature at which frozen food should be stored. It is also generally agreed that infrequent but consistent temperature abuse can have a detrimental impact on the shelf-life of food and with some foods temperature abuse can also affect its nutrient value. Food Standards Australia prescribes food that has been temperature abused for a continuous period of greater than 4-hours should be discarded. The NSW Food Authority recommends perishable foods should not be left in the danger zone for longer than 2-hours!

Temperature is critical to storage of a variety of items ranging from food to blood and a failure of storage temperature (temperature abuse) can result in problems ranging from simple spoilage (i.e. the product is no longer at its best) through to severe risk of safety to human health.

Temperature data loggers from Data Acquisition Networks can be fitted and operated for a fraction of the cost of the loss that will result from temperature abuse. DAN temperature data loggers also automate permanent record collection thereby enabling analysis of the likely severity of a temperature abuse incident.

Talk to Data Acquisition Networks (DAN) today about how automated data collection will ensure the safety of your product held in a temperature controlled environment.

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.
