Food Safety & HACCP Temperature Monitoring System
Schools, Universities, Processing Plants, Restaurants & More
Our IntelliSense™ Wireless Temperature Monitoring System enables you to monitor all of your cabinet/equipment temperatures and other critical control points required for HACCP record keeping. Using our Patented Intelligent Sensor (U.S. Patent No. 9,064,389) and our free App for your iOS Apple and Android devices, you will be able to automatically and effortlessly monitor all of your equipment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and receive alerts should any of your equipment readings fall out of range.
With ECS, you have the flexibility to monitor a wide array of items based on your custom applications, including but not limited to:
- Walk-In Coolers/Freezers
- Reach-in Coolers/Freezers
- Milk Coolers
- Holding Units (Hot & Cold)
- Under Counter Units
- Dishwasher Final Rinse Temperature
- Dry Storage
- Power Interruption
- Cook/Chill Units
- Food Temperatures
A variety of sensor types allows you to monitor not only temperatures but also humidity, door status, and other critical points. All data is stored in our secure cloud with server redundancy and automated system backups. Each sensor comes standard with data loggers, which will store data in case of a network or power outage. As soon as network/power is restored, the data loggers will transmit all of the data to the system. The system is battery-operated using wireless sensors that are easily installed, cost effective, and allow you to get up and running quickly.
Our IntelliCheck™ System is a complete HACCP food temperature monitoring system designed to automate food temperature data logging and eliminate cumbersome form-based solutions. With IntelliCheck™ you can monitor your entire cook-line food temperatures, from receiving, to storage, to cooking, to serving. The system works with a stainless steel probe and any iOS Apple device, including an iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad. With our free App, your entire operation can be monitored from the palm of your hand, and Corrective Actions, as well as the execution of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), can be taken on the spot. Operators simply choose an option on their touchscreen and the IntelliCheck™ system does the rest.
By combining our IntelliSense™ and IntelliCheck™ product lines, you receive a complete HACCP and operation management system, which comes standard with Preventative Maintenance and Asset Management modules. The result is a cost effective, easily installed solution that simplifies HACCP compliance, improves food safety, prevents inventory loss, and ultimately reduces your overall workload.
Restaurant Temperature Monitoring System
According to the CDC an estimated 50 million people in the United States come down with food poisoning. Nearly 150,000 of these cases are hospitalized and around 3,000 die annually. Many of these incidents result from poor restaurant food safety, and can be prevented by automated remote temperature monitoring.
All restaurant owners know the general precautions—eliminate cross-contamination, monitor allergens, exterminate pests, and good hygiene practices. Along with these they know that proper food temperatures is at the top of food safety priorities. Accurate automated temperature monitoring is the only way to eliminate temperature issues that can cause food poisoning. A remote temperature monitoring system takes human error out of the equation, while also letting your staff focus on what’s important… The food!
E-Control Systems Allows Your Food Service Establishment to:
-
Access Temperature Data Anytime, and from Anywhere.
-
No more waiting for temperature readings.
-
Receive instant alerts so you can nip any problems in the bud.
-
Skip the human error factor.
-
Ensure more robust compliance at every step.

The Importance Of Time With Food Safety Temperature Monitoring
When monitoring the temperatures of equipment and food products in your operation, time is an important factor in ensuring food safety. The FDA specifies how long food is considered to be in the “safe zone.” You should have a HACCP plan in place that will help you avoid costly product loss by making sure that you have enough time to move your food, should any of your equipment start failing.
When monitoring the temperatures of equipment and food products in your operation, time is an important factor in ensuring food safety. The FDA specifies how long food is considered to be in the “safe zone.” You should have a HACCP plan in place that will help you avoid costly product loss by making sure that you have enough time to move your food, should any of your equipment start failing.
When heating food, the food must reach and maintain a certain temperature for a specified amount of time.In a cook and chill operation, there are strict time requirements. Food not only has to be chilled to the approved temperature range, but it has to reach that temperature in a specific amount of time, as per FDA guidelines. The FDA considers the Danger zone to be 40 °F to 140 °F, as this is the temperature range where most bacteria can grow. Foods that are exposed to this temperature range for more than 4 hours at a time are considered not safe for consumption. Measuring time, as well as temperature, will enable you to comply with FDA guidelines for food safety.
Having a wireless temperature monitoring system will ensure that your food/equipment is in an acceptable HACCP temperature range, and will also alert you when your food/equipment goes out of the acceptable range and for how long. Besides monitoring temperature, your HACCP plan should include a time element, as it is one of the important Critical Control Points. Any temperature monitoring system must be able to help automate all your HACCP requirements, thus minimizing downtime and the chance of bacteria growth.
Remember, when it comes to temperature monitoring and food safety, time is of the essence!
