🥨For Food Storage Monitoring

Installing

Scenario: A restaurant owner wants to ensure that food stored in refrigerators and freezers maintains the appropriate temperature to prevent spoilage and ensure food safety.

1. Select Sensors: Choose thermocouple sensors suitable for monitoring temperature in refrigerators and freezers.

2. Hardware Setup: Install the thermocouple sensors at various locations within the refrigerators and freezers, ensuring they are securely attached to the interior walls and placed away from direct contact with food.

Configuring

Scenario: The restaurant owner needs to configure Nightflare: Pompeii to log temperature data and provide alerts if temperatures deviate from safe ranges.

1. Connect Thermocouples: Connect the thermocouple sensors to the sensor terminals on the Nightflare: Pompeii board, ensuring proper orientation and tightness for accurate temperature readings.

2. Dashboard Setup: Access the Nightflare: Pompeii dashboard and configure the chart area to display real-time temperature data from the thermocouple sensors.

3. Set Temperature Thresholds: Set temperature thresholds on the dashboard to receive alerts via email or SMS if temperatures rise above safe levels, indicating potential equipment malfunction or food spoilage.

Customizing

Scenario: The restaurant owner wants to customize the dashboard to monitor temperature trends over time and track temperature fluctuations during peak hours.

1. Customize Chart Views: Customize the dashboard to display historical temperature data over specific timeframes, such as hourly, daily, or weekly averages.

2. Add Annotations: Add annotations to the charts to mark peak hours of operation or specific events, such as equipment maintenance or food deliveries, for reference.

3. Integrate Inventory Management: Integrate temperature data with inventory management systems to track food items' shelf life and ensure timely rotation and disposal of perishable items.
