Controlled environments

Keep conditions on target, at every site.

Cold rooms and chambers for food, dairy and 3PL, and any space that must hold a range. When conditions drift, the site raises the alarm, supported equipment takes the first step, the right person is reached, and the readings stay on record.

An ordinary Monday

Monday, 8:00 AM. The weekend is already written up.

Each chamber's readings, the doors and any excursion are with your QA lead before the first meeting.

  • Each room against its own range, with its doors and hold times
  • A sensor that stops reporting is on the same record
  • One report for head office, and each site sees its own

Operations in this industry

The operation behind the cold room, walked end to end.

How the operation runs, from the room to the dock, the truck and the customer's door, is on its own page.

Before you ask

Three questions cold-chain teams ask first.

Do our existing loggers and sensors stay?

Where we can connect them, yes. We check that before the pilot and add our own only where they're needed.

Who installs it?

Most devices are made for your own team to install. For a large installation, our partners support you on the ground.

Who answers at night, and where is our data?

Your own people: the site's on-call first, then the next person you name. The platform is hosted on Microsoft Azure in the United States, and we export your data on request.

The record

Each excursion written up as it happens, for your QA lead to sign off.

When your customer, your auditor or your insurer asks what happened to Chamber 4 on Saturday, the report already exists.

  • Continuous, timestamped temperature records for every room
  • A report for every excursion: range, duration, peak, who was alerted, who answered
  • Reports you can file with your food-safety plan
  • Records viewable and exportable from any site

US food rules recognize records of the times temperature control was lost as refrigeration records (21 CFR 117.145(c)(2)).

Where it runs

Running in greenhouses today. Your first cold-room site in 4 weeks.

500+ acresof greenhouses, in production

For growers: a greenhouse-controls brand

Growers' climate control running on site on OneIoT, under the brand's own name, with remote access and updates from the cloud.

Cold rooms: first sites now

Your first site in 4 weeks, at a fixed fee.

We connect one site, set its ranges and its people, and run it. At the end you have:

  • Each excursion it caught
  • How fast someone answered each one
  • The report for each one
Prove it on one site in 4 weeks

What goes in

What goes in at each site.

  • A sensor in each room

    It reads the temperature and the door. Freezers get the cold-rated version.

  • A gateway on the wall

    On your Wi-Fi or Ethernet. In each reefer, one with its own SIM.

  • Set up with you

    Each room's range, how long a door may stay open, and who hears first.

OneIoT AIOneIoT AI investigates each alarm as it arrives. Where it acts, it acts only through the control program on site, within that program's limits.See OneIoT AI
