Tablet-friendly data loggers
Temperature technology moves into digital age
The I-PLUG+ single use temperature data logger is a USB-compatible monitoring device – no larger than a typical memory stick – that enables all participants in the cold chain to check the temperature of perishable goods before, during and after transportation.
Fully recyclable, the I-PLUG+ can take a reading of temperatures of between -40°C to +70°C within 90 seconds and is capable of taking and storing up to 5,000 samples within its memory.
As well as including multi-level LED indicators which give growers, packers and shippers an instant indication of temperature, the device’s USB interface allows it to be connected directly to any Android tablet where full temperature data1 can be viewed.
According to the company’s business development director, Patrick Poulet, the I-NET logger will enable growers and packers to monitor in real time their cold stores, even from their smartphones. “ECCS is a dynamic and proactive company committed to always adding solutions in temperature and shipping safety to fruit exporters and providing innovative concepts that very few companies are offering,” he explained.
Of course, with single use devices questions regarding sustainability and wastage inevitably arise, but Mr Poulet said ECCS was already fully committed to handling its responsibilities in these areas. “We are committed to supply sustainable solutions and to recycle the single use devices – some are talking about it, but we are acting, offering a free service to some of our customers to collect used data loggers wherever they are, even if it is a difficult and costly job to perform,” he said.
The I-PLUG+ single use temperature data logger, which is now available worldwide, can be used in conjunction with free-to-download software directly from the ECCS website (www.escortcoldchain.com) that is compatible with any PC or Android tablet.
ECCS will be present at Fruit Logistica 2014 in Hall 1.1 D-07
