Preserving the cold chain in the food Industry: how continuous monitoring prevents risks and waste

Meteca HT logger - Cold chain

Why the cold chain matters

Food safety depends on many factors, but one of the most critical is the cold chain – keeping products at the correct temperature from production to the final consumer.
Regulations such as HACCP and EU directives require chilled and frozen products to remain within defined ranges at all times. Even brief interruptions can compromise entire shipments.


Real-world risks

– A truck transporting fresh fish delayed in summer heat can lose its entire cargo.
– A short power outage in a frozen warehouse may alter products even if temperatures recover quickly.
The result? Health risks, tons of wasted food, financial losses, and reputational damage.


The limits of manual checks

Traditional methods, such as logging temperatures once per delivery, cannot guarantee safety. They leave blind spots where anomalies may go undetected.


Why continuous monitoring is essential

With 24/7 remote IoT monitoring, companies gain:
– Real-time visibility across logistics and storage.
– Immediate alerts when temperatures exceed thresholds.
– Full traceability of data for compliance and audits.


The role of the HT Logger

The Briki HT Logger provides:
– Accurate readings for temperature and humidity.
– Local and cloud data recording for redundancy.
– Configurable alarms that notify managers instantly.

By integrating IoT monitoring, food companies protect consumer safety, reduce waste, and strengthen trust.
