The cold chain means keeping a product within a specific temperature range from the moment it is produced until it reaches the consumer. These are the mistakes we see most often in the field:
- Relying on handwritten logs. Values written down twice a day do not show deviations in the hours in between.
- Putting the sensor in the wrong place. A sensor placed in front of the evaporator measures the cooler’s outlet air, not the room.
- Sending the alarm to a single person. If that person is asleep or on leave, the alarm reaches nobody.
- Forgetting calibration. Measurements from an uncalibrated device may not be accepted during an audit.
- Not allowing for power cuts. Systems without batteries go silent at the most critical moment.
A monitoring system that logs automatically and continuously eliminates all of these mistakes.
