Cold Room & Chillers Temperature Monitoring for The Fish Farmer

When dealing with seafood, a business has to ensure that its goods are stored at optimal temperatures in order for the goods to maintain its high quality and remain safe for their customers to consume. The Fish Farmer is a seafood distributor that ensures the quality of its goods are not compromised when it is stored in their cold rooms & chillers as well as when the goods are being delivered to its customers. The seafood distributor employs cold rooms and chillers to store goods, at their respective optimal temperature ranges, in order to preserve the integrity and quality of said goods. Without the temperature monitoring system, the distributor is not able to monitor the temperatures of their cold room and chillers. Should the temperature in the cold rooms or chillers happen to fluctuate out of the permitted range as set by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), they would be unaware of the changes in temperature which could severely compromise the safety and quality of the goods not to mention imply steep financial losses which could have otherwise been avoided.

These are some of the many reasons why The Fish Farmer requires the use of a temperature monitoring system.

The Fish Farmer is a leading wholesale seafood distributor located in Singapore. The seafood distributor was founded back in 2007, supplying savoury, fresh and naturally grown fish to Singapore retailers such as NTUC FairPrice and Cold Storage, restaurants such as The Summerhouse and hotels such as PARKROYAL Hotels & Resorts. Their naturally grown fishes include; grey mullet, milk fish, seabass, red snapper and golden pomfret. The Fish Farmer is the only farm in Singapore that has the widest variety of fish as well as being 1 of the 4 Singapore Fish Farms that is Good Aquaculture Practice (GAP) certified, which makes them the preferred distributor for their customers.

The Fish Farmer found that the ThermoCare product will help in monitoring and alerting them of temperatures of their cold rooms and chillers. The devices and system itself are simple to install and easy to use, where it consists of sensors that uses the LoRaWAN technology, a gateway, cloud server and a web application. Sensors are placed inside the cold rooms and chillers to measure its temperatures and can be configured to automatically capture temperature data which will then be sent to the web application. Through the web application, it allows The Fish Farmer to monitor temperatures of their cold rooms and chillers remotely and extract temperature data from it so that they would be able to provide it to the SFA during audits. Alert notifications will also be sent if temperatures for their chillers and cold rooms crosses the threshold. This allows the distributor to make any necessary actions to ensure that their goods are stored within temperature range.
