Continuous Temp Monitoring

Temperature control is a critical food safety element, as it helps to prevent foodborne diseases and outbreaks that can result in public health issues. Fresh produce must be kept at 0–16 °C or colder, while frozen and deep-frozen foods must generally be held at 0 to -25 °C or colder.

Temperature control is a critical food safety consideration by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Over the last several years, the FDA has proposed seven foundational rules to implement FSMA, including Sanitary Transportation, which among other requirements, demands that those who transport food with a need for temperature control to ensure the maintenance of transportation cold chain during operations.

Reusable cold chain solutions can drive down costs and drive sustainability efforts while reducing the time spent on shipment review by providing data earlier on in the review process and enabling businesses to manage their shipments by exception. These solutions are preconditioned to meet the strict health and safety standards, which are equal to or greater than those in place in the food industry.

Knowing immediately not only about temperature or other environmental deviation but where it happened is valuable information for quality teams operating. Real-time and continuously available data enables to access information earlier in the shipment process and prevent product delays due to lengthy investigation cycles.

The PIMM™ Continuous Temp Monitoring (PIMM™ CTM) program is the first monitoring program of its kind that allows distributors to share specific temperature performance data with their customer’s / brand owners without sharing every detail of their operations.

Our system provides instant feedback and alerts to allow distributors to properly manage their air temperatures across their refrigerated fleet. When an excessive temperature violation occurs, the system can project the damage on the underlying products with the use of the PIMM™ PPT simulated product temperature.
