Cold Storage Temperature Monitoring
Cold storage temperature monitoring gives operators a record of conditions in a cold room and a way to notify the duty contact when a reading stays above its limit. TruCount Pro brings readings from separate rooms or facilities into one web console. A team can check the latest reading, investigate a change and record who is handling the incident.
Use the sensor's reading history to see when temperatures started to rise and whether they settled again. Compare the reading, its unit and the time it was recorded before drawing conclusions. For teams responsible for more than one cold store, site and group views help them find the room and sensor associated with an incident.
How it works
Place each reporting sensor in the relevant site or group and give it a name that identifies the room. Check a recent reading in the dashboard or sensor history and confirm the temperature unit before setting a limit. Use the time filters to compare the period before and after a change, then export the relevant readings as CSV if colleagues need the same window.
Set up the dashboard around the people who will use it. The operator checking conditions needs to find the relevant site, group and sensor quickly. The person responding to an incident also needs the time and reading that caused the alert. Agree on clear names and use the same names in rules so those two views make sense together.
Example alert rule
Configure a high-temperature rule for the relevant sensor and require the reading to stay above its limit for ten minutes. The platform emails the duty contact when the rule confirms the condition. The duty contact checks the chart, acknowledges the incident, and assigns someone to check the refrigeration. The team can then follow the incident and review whether readings have cleared the condition.
Review readings and coordinate a response
Decide who should receive an email and who will take ownership when an incident opens. Acknowledge it to show that someone is responding, then assign it if another person needs to investigate. During planned work, use a maintenance or suppression window where appropriate. After the work, check that the expected readings are arriving again.
When reviewing an incident, use a time window that includes readings before the alert and after the condition cleared. Keep the measurement and unit consistent so the comparison is meaningful. A CSV export lets a colleague inspect the same readings, while the incident record keeps the response and assignment visible to the team.
Frequently asked questions
Can I check more than one cold room?
Yes. Organise sensors by site or group so operators can find the room they need and view its latest and historical readings.
Can I alert on readings that are too low?
Yes. The rules support high and low thresholds, as well as values outside a range. Choose the applicable condition and limits for the reading.
Can a rule wait before emailing someone?
Yes. Configure persistence so the threshold has to remain breached before the rule confirms and triggers the response.
What happens if the temperature sensor stops reporting?
Configure a missing-readings rule for the sensor and check its most recent timestamp when investigating the alert.
