Stop manual temperature checks forever. Automatic monitoring, instant alerts when conditions drift, and tamper-proof records that keep you audit-ready around the clock.
Staff interrupted every few hours to check temperatures
Nighttime and weekend gaps in monitoring
Handwritten logs that can't be verified
Equipment failures discovered too late
No way to prove continuous monitoring during audits
Lost product because temperature excursions went unnoticed
Your staff can only check temperatures 2-3 times per day. What happens at 2 AM when a freezer fails? What about weekends? Manual monitoring leaves dangerous gaps where product can be lost and you’ll never know when the problem started.
By the time manual checks discover a problem, it’s often too late. Product has already been exposed to unsafe temperatures, and you have no idea when the issue started or how much is affected.
Auditors want to see continuous temperature monitoring records. Manual logs have gaps, questionable accuracy, and can be altered. How do you prove temperatures stayed in range 24/7?
Saturday 3:47 AM: Freezer temperature alert. Manager receives push notification, contacts on-call technician. Compressor repaired by 7 AM. Temperature recovered before product was affected. Product saved: $18,000 Without monitoring: Problem discovered Monday morning, total loss.
Walk-in cooler door left ajar after busy production shift. Alert sent 5 minutes later. Staff member closes door before significant temperature rise. Product saved: $3,000 Without monitoring: Discovered next morning, overnight temperature abuse, product discarded.
Food safety auditor requests temperature monitoring records for previous 90 days. Instead of scrambling through paper logs, generate comprehensive report with graphs in 30 seconds. Audit result: No findings, full compliance demonstrated.

IoT (Internet of Things) temperature monitoring uses wireless sensors to automatically record temperatures in refrigerators, freezers, production areas, and storage rooms 24/7. Data is sent to the cloud in real-time, allowing you to monitor conditions from anywhere, receive instant alerts when temperatures go out of range, and maintain tamper-proof records for compliance without any manual checks.
Wireless sensors are battery-powered devices that measure temperature at regular intervals (typically every 1-20 minutes). They transmit data wirelessly to a gateway or directly to the cloud using WiFi, LoRaWAN, or cellular connectivity. Data appears instantly in your QTRACA dashboard where you can view current readings, historical trends, and receive alerts when conditions change.
Not necessarily. While some sensors use WiFi, others use long-range wireless technology (LoRaWAN) that can transmit data over 100+ meters to a central gateway. Cellular-enabled sensors work anywhere with mobile coverage. We’ll recommend the best sensor type based on your facility layout and connectivity needs.
Dragino Sensors store temperature data locally and automatically sync when connectivity is restored. No data is lost during internet outages. Once connection resumes, all historical readings upload to QTRACA. Critical alerts may also be sent via SMS or cellular backup depending on your sensor configuration.
Most wireless temperature sensors have battery life of 5-10 years depending on logging frequency and environmental conditions. QTRACA sends low battery alerts weeks before batteries are depleted, giving you plenty of time to replace them. Batteries are standard and user-replaceable—no technician required.
Absolutely. Each sensor can have custom temperature ranges based on its location and purpose. For example, set freezers to alert below -18°C, refrigerators between 0-4°C, and production rooms between 15-25°C. Configure warning alerts (approaching limits) and critical alerts (exceeded limits) separately. Customize who receives alerts for each sensor.
By default temperature is checked every 10-20 minutes. You’ll receive instant email notifications and push notifications on your mobile device through the QTRACA app. Configure escalation so if the first person doesn’t respond within a set time, alerts go to additional staff members ensuring someone always knows about problems immediately.
Yes. Automated temperature monitoring exceeds regulatory requirements by providing continuous monitoring (not just spot checks), tamper-proof digital records that can’t be altered or backdated, complete audit trails showing exactly when readings occurred, instant access to historical data, and one-click compliance reports for auditors. Many food safety standards specifically recognize automated monitoring.
Yes. QTRACA supports temperature and humidity sensors for areas where moisture control is critical such as dry storage, production rooms, and ingredient receiving. Monitor both parameters on the same dashboard, set humidity alerts, and maintain complete environmental records.
QTRACA includes built-in calibration management. Enter calibration results from 2-point or 3-point calibrations, and QTRACA automatically calculates and applies correction factors to all readings. Track calibration history, store calibration certificates, set calibration due dates, and receive reminders when sensors need recalibration. Prove sensor accuracy instantly during audits.
Yes. Export temperature data for any sensor and any time period in multiple formats including PDF reports with graphs, Excel spreadsheets for analysis, and CSV files for regulatory submissions. Generate reports showing minimum, maximum, and average temperatures, any excursions that occurred, and how long conditions were out of range.
QTRACA can integrate with many existing sensor systems. We also support popular sensor brands and protocols. Contact us to discuss your current equipment—we may be able to connect it to QTRACA rather than requiring all new hardware.
Most businesses save 10+ hours per week by eliminating manual temperature checks. If staff currently check temperatures 3 times daily across multiple locations, that’s 15+ hours weekly just on checking and recording. Automated monitoring handles this 24/7 without any staff time, while providing far better coverage including nights, weekends, and holidays.
QTRACA sensors monitor refrigerators, freezers (down to -30°C), production rooms, storage areas, hot holding equipment, cooking processes, cool rooms, blast chillers, transport vehicles, and any area where temperature or humidity control is critical for food safety or quality.
