Hanwell Solutions was chosen by Cold Chain Network through its Malaysian distributor Cynotex to specifically develop and implement a cold chain distribution specific wireless temperature monitoring solution for its recently-established storage facility in the Selangor state, near Kuala Lumpur. Cynotex brings cold chain distribution solutions to the Asian market.
CCN provides temperature-controlled storage and transport services. It occupies a 200,000 sq ft warehouse which accommodates several specialist cold rooms for frozen and chilled goods.
IceSpy Monitoring System
Earlier, electronic data loggers and manually logging temperature from local areas were being used by CCN. However, an automated wireless system had to be changed owing to business expansion. To ensure the integrity of stored products and ease audit stress with user-friendly software with historical data, specific requirements included an online real-time and wireless temperature monitoring system with immediate alarm notification of events.
A custom-made IceSpy monitoring system comprising of 24 units was suggested to be fitted within 18 rooms to track the temperature of stored ice cream and thus ensure continuous safe storage.
The technology allows CCN to efficiently monitor temperatures in real-time all through the cold chain distribution process, which means personnel no longer have to perform regular manual checks. When temperatures exceed predetermined limits, alarm notifications integrated in the system can be triggered in any incidence, so that effective and rapid remedial action can be taken.
In addition, the system collects data over a longer time which is then transferred to a local PC for analysis of key trends and can be viewed online through WebView.
