Amy, we have been using Awarepoint, but they are apparently going out of
business so we are switching over to Stanley Aeroscout on all fridges, freezers
and room temp/humidity throughout our facilities.
We have direct access to the monitoring of each "asset" and can check it online
at any time from any computer or mobile. We get email and text (and/or pager)
alerts when it goes out of range for 30 minutes, the door is open (via door
sensor) or immediately if the power goes off. We have multiple people set up to
receive alerts in a hierarchy of escalations.
We can see/print a report at any time of the per-minute temperature history of
any asset. We can also print a report showing the temperature of each asset at
a given time of day (like the old manual checks). But with immediate access to
real-time temperature and graphs that is not useful anymore.
We used to do a daily "check" of the online recording "to make sure the system
is working" but after many years of zero problems we stopped doing that. Our
Facilities Department maintains the system and sends out a notice if the
network system goes down. The ONLY time we do manual checks is if the system
goes down because we would not get alerts in that case. That has not happened
in over two years. So we do not check it daily. We only check if we get an
alert or if we suspect a problem. The "Tag" that is on each asset has a digital
display of temperature at all times. If it goes out of range there is an
audible alarm (if anyone is around to hear it) as well as the alert sent via
email and text message. It records the temperature of every asset once per
minute. The tag keeps recording even if the network goes down and once the
system comes back up it will upload all the data to the central system once
contact is restored.

Good Afternoon,
Do any of you get your temperatures for your equipment and\or refrigerators
monitored by a temperature monitoring company and if so how do you document
this check?
Thanks in Advance,
