Storefront Refrigerator Monitoring
Remote temperature, door and location monitoring for refrigerators placed in shops
Who Is This For
Commercial or field-service manager at a food and beverage brand with refrigerators installed in many independent shops.
The Challenge
Refrigerators spread across many shops are checked only when a technician visits. Faults and poor storage conditions go unnoticed, units get moved, and the brand has no data on how its refrigerators are used.
Key Pain Points
- Faults found only on a technician's visit
- Goods stored outside the right temperature range
- Refrigerators moved from the shop without notice
- No data on how often and how long doors are opened
How Cypod Solves It
Each refrigerator gets a CyConnect 4G with temperature and humidity sensing and one or two door sensors. It reports over LTE Cat M or NB-IoT with 2G fallback, its gyro flags movement, its backup battery keeps it reporting through a power failure, and the platform sends alerts by email or SMS.
Key Solution Features
- Temperature, humidity and door sensing, with the number and length of openings
- Location with geofence alerts if a unit is moved
- Power-failure alert, with a backup battery to keep reporting
- Alerts by email or SMS when readings leave their thresholds
Key Benefits
Maintenance planned from each unit's history rather than from breakdowns
Goods kept in the right storage conditions
Door-opening counts and durations per refrigerator for sales analysis
Units that are moved are located
