Powerhouse Dynamics added a new food safety feature to its eMonitor energy, water, and asset management system to support chain restaurants' need to monitor refrigeration and food preparation equipment temperatures across all locations.
Now available to eMonitor users, the "Food Safety Scorecard" proactively identifies equipment in danger of non-compliance, so corrective action can be taken. Compliant refrigeration temperatures are a critical requirement for managing large restaurant portfolios.
The Food Safety Scorecard is enabled by temperature sensors installed in relevant equipment. The temperature data is combined with other data and uploaded every 60 seconds to the eMonitor servers where it is tracked and analyzed.
By integrating temperature and power consumption data, the system enables facility managers to remotely diagnose equipment performance issues before they become equipment emergencies. Managers are also alerted, in real time, to issues with individual pieces of equipment that could compromise food safety.
