Squadle, a workflow automation company that enables multi-unit operators to simplify complex operations and streamline food safety, has announced the Squadle Sense Remote Temperature Monitoring (RTM), a hands-free tracking system to monitor freezer and refrigerator interiors. Using wireless temperature sensors, Squadle Sense RTM effortlessly keeps stores in compliance and frees up time previously spent maintaining food safety so that staff has more time for the things that increase the bottom line.
When placed in a freezer, the Squadle smart sensor leverages LoRaWAN technology to track the ambient temperature and then calibrates the temperatures of individual products—from meat to cheese to vegetables—without having to touch them or open their packaging. Instead, the temperature-check task is performed instantly, eliminating the need for employees to physically check temperatures. Reducing manual temperature checks allows operators to save 20 minutes of shift work per day. What’s more, the smart sensors prevent major inventory loss from food spoilage by flagging any temperature issues early. Squadle pilot customers report saving thousands of dollars in inventory loss when switching to RTM.
