1. Multi-Zone Environmental Monitoring

Real-time temperature and humidity tracking across all storage zones:

• Freezer zones—continuous monitoring of -16°C to -22°C storage areas
• Chiller zones—2°C to 8°C monitoring for dairy, produce, and beverages
• Tropical zones—ambient temperature tracking for dry goods and packaged items
• Door sensors—detect when freezer/chiller doors are left open, triggering immediate alerts
• Humidity monitoring—prevent condensation and moisture-related spoilage

2. Wireless BLE Sensor Deployment

Battery-powered BLE sensors for simple, wire-free installation:

• No wiring required—battery-powered sensors run for months without replacement
• 30-meter range in clear line of sight—strategically position gateways to cover entire facility
• 10-meter range inside metal enclosures—reliable monitoring even inside freezers and chillers
• Quick deployment—install sensors in minutes, not hours
• Low maintenance—minimal battery replacements, no ongoing infrastructure costs
• Flexible placement—easily reposition sensors as storage layouts change

3. Local Display & Audible Alarms

Immediate on-site visibility and alerts:

• Real-time local display—show current temperatures on screens at each dark store
• Audible alarms—triggered by remote business rules when thresholds are breached
• Instant operator feedback—workers immediately aware of temperature issues
• Remote business rule updates—change thresholds and alert logic without site visits

4. Offline Capabilities

Continue monitoring even when internet connectivity is lost:

• Local data storage—gateway caches temperature readings during network outages
• Auto-sync when online—data automatically uploads when connectivity restores
• No data loss—complete cold chain record even with intermittent internet
• Local alarms work offline—audible alerts function without cloud connectivity

5. Temperature-Controlled Stock Transfers

Monitor cold chain integrity during transit:

• At least 1 sensor per temperature zone—separate monitoring for freezer and chiller compartments in vehicles
• Offline temperature capture—BLE sensors record data throughout transit without network dependency
• Receipt validation—scan sensors at destination to verify cold chain maintenance during transfer
• Transfer audit trail—complete temperature history from dispatch to receipt
• Reject at receipt—refuse stock transfers that violated temperature requirements

6. Flexible Gateway Options

Works with existing hardware or IoTReady gateways:

• IoTReady gateways—WiFi, Ethernet, or 4G connectivity options
• Android phone/tablet—use existing devices as BLE gateways
• No vendor lock-in—flexibility to use customer's existing hardware
• Scalable deployment—add gateways as needed without infrastructure overhaul

7. Centralized Business Intelligence Dashboard

Real-time visibility across all locations:

• Multi-location dashboard—view temperature across all sourcing hubs and dark stores
• Historical data—trend analysis and compliance reporting
• Excursion reports—identify when and where temperature violations occurred
• Downtime alerts—gateway or sensor offline notifications
• Compliance exports—download temperature logs for food safety audits

8. Multi-Channel Notifications

Alerts delivered wherever your team is:

• SMS alerts—critical temperature excursions sent via text message
• Email notifications—detailed reports to operations managers
• In-app notifications—push alerts to mobile app users
• Escalation rules—automatic escalation if initial alerts are not acknowledged
• Role-based routing—different alert recipients for different locations and zones

9. Intelligent Alerting with AI

Reduce alert fatigue with anomaly detection and pattern recognition:

• Anomaly detection—identify unusual temperature patterns that indicate equipment issues
• Pattern recognition—learn normal operational patterns (door open for restocking) vs. real problems
• Predictive alerts—warn about potential failures before critical thresholds are breached
• Smart thresholds—dynamic alerting based on time of day and operational context
• Fewer false alarms—intelligent filtering reduces alert fatigue and improves response times
