There are a great number of Temperature and Humidity sensitive products in warehouses?

There are a great number of sensitive products in stored in number warehouses. How can we monitor extensive the environmental information comply with regulatory health requirements?

Consumer Items are never far from the media focus. This is largely due to the magnitude of the repercussions that can arise from even small mistakes, oversights or equipment failures. 

Every year, importers and retailers potentially lose tens of millions of dollars worth of inventory, farm produce, shampoos, toothpaste, bottle water beer and coffee all simply due to the malfunction of refrigeration equipment and environmental storage conditions.

The storage under the correct conditions, whether hot or cold, is vital to the health and safety of the consumers and its importance cannot be underestimated. There is also a significant financial penalty in terms of product loss and waste if storage conditions are not suitable.

Consider the implications of a freezer failing overnight, when staff are not present, and the entire content is ruined or even Worse, A freezer having broken down and partly defrosted regains life and refreezes the food, or other products damaged by mold or humidity.

The staff would be unaware of the problem but the consumer would then be at considerable risk. Any probability can be minimised by employing a suitable monitoring solution which can not only provide an alert to the staff of any impending problem or failure but can also provide continuous data logging. 

This type of system can provide not only the means to prevent product loss due to 'spoiling' but can also be used to produce documentary evidence to meet the requirements HACCP Compliance.

The instrumentation needs to be capable of monitoring many environmental Parameters which may affect the stored goods, for example, levels of:

    • Temperature
    • UV 
    • CO2 
    • Formaldehyde 
    • Humidity 
    • Pressure 
    • Oxygen 
    • Light 

The list is almost endless and if you have a monitoring requirement not listed above, call us because we will almost always have a solution.
