Why IoT is Essential for Cold Stores

Traditional cold storage monitoring depends on manual checks, which are time-consuming and error-prone. Such methods fail to provide instant notifications during power failures, equipment malfunction, or environmental fluctuations.

An IoT-based monitoring system eliminates these risks by providing:

• Continuous real-time monitoring
• Automatic alerts and notifications
• Centralized monitoring of multiple cold stores
• Historical data for analysis and audits

TC Smart Technology’s Cold Store IoT Solution

TC Smart Technology’s IoT solution is designed specifically for industrial and commercial cold storage environments. The system continuously monitors critical parameters and provides immediate alerts whenever values exceed predefined limits.

Parameters Monitored

🌡 Temperature Monitoring
 

• High-accuracy industrial temperature sensors
• Continuous monitoring to ensure product safety
• Customizable high and low temperature limits
   

💧 Humidity Monitoring
 

• Prevents moisture-related damage, mold growth, and dehydration
• Ideal for food, pharmaceutical, and agricultural storage
• Real-time humidity trend tracking
   

🌫 AQI (Air Quality Index) Monitoring 
 

• Monitors air quality inside cold storage rooms
• Helps detect harmful gases and poor ventilation
• Ensures a safe environment for both products and workers

Intelligent Alert & Indication System

The alert mechanism is a core feature of the solution:

• Visual Alerts: LED or display-based indications at the site
• Audible Alerts: Buzzer activation during critical conditions
• Mobile & Web Alerts: Instant notifications via app, SMS, or email
• Event-Based Alerts:
  
  • Temperature High / Low
  • Humidity High / Low
  • AQI Threshold Exceeded
  • Power Failure
