Aranet supermarket temperature monitoring solution

Temperature monitoring for supermarkets is extremely important, but gathering data can be a challenge. The manual process can be prone to human error.

The Aranet wireless monitoring solution is designed to help alleviate this problem.

A well-known supermarket was having problems monitoring temperature in its stores, particularly the freezers. The existing solution for temperature monitoring was not practical, because it required constant employee attention to write down the data and keep paper records. Monitoring process was done in all the supermarket locations separately, so there was no centralised record storage. It created problems during quality control audits and inspections.

The company reached out to Aranet to set up a trial of its wireless sensors, which were placed in freezers in one of the stores. Aranet provides long-range wireless communications, therefore only one base station was required to cover the 2000 m² store. The sensors are wireless and battery-powered, so the installation process was easy and quick.

Very soon the supermarket saw the benefits of the system. A spokesperson said: “It was so practical; we could finally see the data from a dozen freezers all in one place and have a simple visual overview. The Aranet solution was reliable and if there were unwanted temperature fluctuations, the system immediately sent alerts, which allowed us to react faster and avoid produce spoilage.”
