RETAIL DISPLAY
with controlled permissions, at any time and anywhere across the world.
A retailer risks ruin if a major product recall or significant waste is caused by temperature damage. Quick intervention thanks to accurate, real-time monitoring of temperatures can save the day and maintain the supply of vital products in a retail environment.
Peace of mind
Educating pharmaceutical and food retailers on quality temperature control solutions is not a sales pitch but a necessity. Effective and reliable wireless-based transmitter systems provide an extra layer of protection for products that can not only save retailers from the cost of spoilt goods, but provide well-documented records and data on how refrigeration or freezing equipment is performing over a continuous period of time. If as a retailer you have the data and information to back up that you have followed the rule book for storing medicines to maintain their effectiveness or that a dodgy boiled egg in a salad or the pre-packed sandwiches that made

people ill were not due to the conditions in your store, that the highest standards are in place - then you can prove that you have done everything correctly.
It’s about having that data, having the peace of mind that if something does go wrong and your town or area suffers an outbreak, your store has got real-time records, an audit trail supporting the fact that you did the job properly. Fridges, freezers and chilled cabinets are just some of the equipment that can be monitored via a single system with sensors calibrated to each individual application, and brought together at one or more instantly accessible points such as a PC, tablet or mobile device. Any compromised conditions trigger immediate alarms and the comprehensive data collection and analysis keeps the authorities happy and significantly reduces paperwork.
The end game
Quick intervention thanks to accurate, real-time monitoring of temperatures can save the day and maintain the supply of vital products. That’s
where wireless environmental monitoring comes into its own. Innovative early warning systems that can also instantly produce historical data in the event of an industry audit or inspection have been developed to provide maximum flexibility and enhanced control of events from anywhere in the world via cloud- or server-based configuration.
It’s not hard to envisage how sub-standard monitoring procedures could potentially lead to a crisis if a rise in temperature or change in other conditions affects the products – there are so many examples of where product spoilage could be catastrophic for a retailer.
We’ve come a long way since the days when it was someone’s job to open fridge and freezer doors, stick a probe in and wait for the result – in which time the temperature would rise even if it remained within rather shaky guidelines. Now, there’s no excuse not to have well-documented records and data on how equipment is performing over a continuous period of time. This brings significant advantages that can save time, costs and of course reputation.
