OCEASOFT, a leading provider of advanced temperature traceability and monitoring solutions with cold supply-chain, life sciences and food safety applications launches OCEASOFT Emerald™, a wireless temperature recorder connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth® SMART. Unique and to be available by Q1 2014 in India, this miniaturised sensor dedicated to the transportation of sensitive and perishable goods has the capability of supervising temperatures in real-time without any specific installation required.
In the shipment of temperature-sensitive goods, cold-chain compliance is essential during transportation. Goods may be transported by truck, airplane or refrigerated container wherein the prevailing temperature and weather conditions can vary greatly during the shipment which could damage the products.
Laurent Rousseau, OCEASOFT’s Chairman: “OCEASOFT Emerald™ solves a long-standing temperature monitoring challenge for the cold-chain. With temperature-sensitive goods transported by many different means, it is difficult to track temperature conditions and have access to the information during transportation. Emerald™ leverages today’s widespread use of smartphones to read temperature data and push it to the Cloud. This provides a point-to-point monitoring solution similar to those offered by national and international shipping services, but without any heavy infrastructure or dedicated equipment.”
The Bluetooth® SMART enables Emerald™ device to read the temperature at regular intervals, stores the data and then informs users in case of any unexpected temperature. All you need is a smartphone to program Emerald™ and view stored temperature readings. Just scan the code on the back of the module to download the EmeraldView™ free App easily.
Emerald™ is slightly larger than a wrist watch, its small size and robust construction will fit in any type of container. During transportation of goods, Emerald™ tracks temperature regularly and stores up to 4,000 readings in its memory. Data is uploaded to the Cloud – along with geolocation information provided by the smartphone – to which all authorized users have instant access.
Emerald™ does not require any dedicated equipment, docking station or complex computer installations, just a smartphone.
The product will be available in the first quarter of 2014 through OCEASOFT distributor in India, LISALINE Lifescience Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (www.lisalineasia.com).
