Cold Log

Description

Cold Log is the ideal choice for those who which to avoid losses of frozen products, as well as to assure the quality of products that need to be conserved frozen below some particular temperature. It is an excellent tool for quality control, and can potentially turn every worker on the logistics and storage fields of the cold chain into cold-quality inspectors. It is a disposable, non-toxic and comes in convenient factor-forms, ready to be applied to the primary or secondary packing of the goods. It can be conveniently stored and transported in normal temperatures, but once the sensor reaches temperatures below the threshold limit (the conservation temperature of the protected good), it becomes active, and starts to monitor the protected products against a break in the cold condition necessary for its correct preservation. If that threshold temperature is violated in a way that could cause thermal damage to the products, the sensor condition will unavoidably and irreversably shift from OK to VIOLATED, which can be detected in an easy catch of an eye by any responsible for the transport or storage of the goods. It doesn't matter if the break occured in the logistics operator, the storage center or in the final point of sale, the sensor will just conveninetly follow the product from factory to shelf. Even if the temperature threshold is re-established, and the products protected freeze once more, the sensor will never get back to the OK position, becoming an important indicator of the quality of the chain, and indicating that the protected product is due for further inspection, or should be discarded, according to the client's quality procedures.  

Benefits

• Increased reliability of the product for the domestic and international markets
• Continued use teachs the people involved in the cycle of cold for correct handing and operations to preserve the goods
• Improves brand image and quality of the frozen products to the market
• Adds value to the brand by differentiating the protected product from the competition
• Screening, identification and security: each sensor bears a unique serial number, bar code, data matrix or RFID

Features  

• Simple reading
• Excellent cost-benefit ratio
• Activates only when frozen
• Wide range of temperatures
• Has the same thermal behavior of water-based products, such as food and pharmaceuticals
• Bumper-attached to the packing material
• Easy application in the line of the industrial process
• Multi-point protection

Application Forms

Compact and reliable, Cold Log can be applied on crates, cardboards, small boxes, pallets, freezers, coolers, trucks, containers, exhibiting shelves etc. A form factor for embedding the sensor into the primary packing of a product is also available.
