Refrigeration System
Monitoring for Hospitality:
Ensuring Food Safety & Discipline

Beyond energy consumption, the critical focus for hotels and restaurants lies in guaranteeing food safety, upholding quality standards, and ensuring operational discipline. Unmonitored cold rooms and freezers,
pose significant risks to food integrity and operational
efficiency. Augos provides smart monitoring solutions
that bring visibility and control to your
refrigeration infrastructure.

The Challenge:
‍Protecting Perishables and Preventing Waste

Hospitality venues face distinct challenges in managing refrigeration systems:
Tell Us About Your Challenges
Food Safety Compliance:
Strict health and safety regulations demand consistent temperature maintenance in cold storage, with significant penalties for non-compliance.
Spoilage and Waste:
Temperature fluctuations due to equipment issues, human error (e.g. propped-open doors), or power inconsistencies can lead to costly food spoilage and waste.
Maintaining Quality:
Consistent cold chain management is essential for preserving the quality, taste, and texture of perishable ingredients, directly impacting guest satisfaction.
Operational Blind Spots:
Without real-time insights, identifying which cold rooms are performing sub-optimally or experiencing excessive door-opening events is difficult, hindering targeted interventions.
Staff Accountability:
Tracking door activity helps to identify training needs or enforce protocols for staff accessing cold storage areas, fostering better operational discipline.

The Augos Solution: Precision Monitoring for Peace of Mind

Augos empowers hospitality operators to ensure food safety and enhance operational discipline through highly accurate, real-time refrigeration system monitoring.
Request a Solutions Demo
Precise Temperature & Humidity Monitoring:
Deploy wireless, battery-operated sensors to continuously monitor and log temperature and humidity within cold storage and freezers. This ensures adherence to critical food safety thresholds and helps maintain optimal conditions for different types of perishables.
Door Open/Close Tracking:
Augos sensors track the open/close status of cold room doors. This crucial feature helps identify instances of doors being left ajar, preventing temperature excursions and unnecessary load on refrigeration units.
Real-Time Data Insights & Alerts:
All collected data is transmitted every minute to the Augos cloud platform, providing real-time insights into cold room performance and door status. Integrated alerts via SMS, email, and WhatsApp ensure immediate notification of any critical issues, such as temperature excursions or prolonged door openings, allowing for swift corrective action.
Historical Data for Auditing & Analysis:
Augos never deletes data, ensuring that all temperature and door activity records are permanently stored and accessible. This provides an invaluable resource for compliance audits, trend analysis, and post-incident investigation.
Operational Discipline & Staff Accountability:
By tracking door activity and linking it to temperature performance, operators can gain insights into staff practices, reinforce training on cold room protocols, and improve overall operational discipline.
Risk Mitigation:
Proactively identify and address potential problems with refrigeration before they escalate, reducing the risk of costly food spoilage and health code violations.

Description

Benefits for Hotel Owners & Operators

Wireless Temperature & Humidity Sensors
Battery-operated sensors deployed within cold rooms and freezers to continuously monitor environmental conditions.
Ensures critical temperature thresholds are maintained for food safety compliance, preventing spoilage and preserving food quality.
Door Open/Close Sensors
Wireless sensors that track and report the real-time status of cold room and freezer doors (open or closed).
Identifies instances of doors being left open, which leads to temperature fluctuations, increased energy load, and potential food safety risks, fostering better staff discipline.
Augos Cloud Platform & Alerts
A centralised platform that receives data every minute, processes it in real-time, and generates configurable alerts (SMS, email, WhatsApp) for out-of-spec conditions.
Provides immediate notification of critical events like temperature excursions or prolonged door openings, enabling rapid response and minimising risks of food spoilage or operational issues. Offers peace of mind.
Historical Data for Compliance
All data collected is permanently stored and accessible, allowing for long-term trend analysis, retrospective investigations, and comprehensive auditing for health and safety regulations.
Supports compliance with food safety regulations, provides irrefutable evidence for audits, and helps analyse patterns of temperature stability over time.
Asset Protection
By providing early notifications of operational deviations, the system helps protect critical refrigeration assets from damage due to overwork
or inefficient operation.
Extends the lifespan of expensive refrigeration equipment and reduces maintenance costs by addressing issues before they escalate.
IoT Measurement
The underlying Internet of Things (IoT) measurement technology ensures constant monitoring isn't required until it's essential, freeing up your workforce from constantly sifting through data.
Optimises workforce allocation, allowing staff to focus on strategic, high-value tasks rather than continuous manual monitoring of refrigeration units.
