[Case Study for the Food Industry] Supermarket M: Data Collection Management for Store Refrigerators

We have newly added the product "LoRa-compatible pulse counting function equipped digital input/output device 'WD100-GWPIO'" for the measurement and instrumentation field, and sales began on July 15th. It measures pulses output from flow sensors, gas meters, and other devices such as flow meters, electric meters, and pressure gauges, monitoring both "cumulative values and instantaneous values." When a preset threshold is exceeded, it not only notifies alarms through abnormal displays or emails but also controls devices via digital signals. For data communication between the child and parent devices, we have adopted LoRa communication, a representative technology of LPWA, which has already proven successful in various fields, enabling stable communication even over distances measured in kilometers. Applications in various fields such as production, process management, and inspection are expected.

SMART-View is a subsystem designed for visualizing and analyzing measurement data from our currently available 'WD100 Series (LoRa Environmental Data Measurement System)' while continuously saving the data. It consists of a high-speed NAS device with SSD and software, allowing for easy on-premises data utilization without going through the cloud. SMART-View is packaged as a product that includes software, NAS, and a hub, so it can be used immediately after purchase (a separate maintenance contract is required). The software's interface is designed with a focus on clarity and ease of use, enabling anyone to easily start data collection and monitoring with a PC or smartphone!

In food hygiene management and environmental monitoring, the importance of temperature and humidity monitoring is increasing from the perspective of managing refrigerators, freezers, and human work environments within facilities, as well as preventive maintenance of equipment. In June 2018, an amendment to the Food Sanitation Act was passed in the National Diet, requiring the introduction of HACCP as a system to provide consistent "food safety and security" from producers to consumers for all food-related businesses in principle. Momoko and Ayaka do not require specific installation locations as they are equipped with a 10-year battery-powered temperature and humidity measurement unit. You can easily start measuring by simply installing it in the necessary measurement locations. Additionally, a communication server that collects data and establishes communication with higher-level management systems uses LoRa wireless technology. Utilizing general-purpose sensors, advanced wireless technology, and our core technologies of network compatibility and power management, we contribute to the sequential monitoring of temperature and humidity in facilities and critical management items with high flexibility and cost performance. Please make use of Momoko and Ayaka to prevent the occurrence of food poisoning through thorough temperature management!

The LoRa wireless remote monitoring and control device WD100 series is now available! ISAI Co., Ltd. has launched the WD100 series "Momoko and Ayaka," which enables remote collection of environmental information and control of devices using the powerful communication technology LoRa, promoting IoT based on our unique network monitoring and power management control technologies developed over the years. Sales began on June 1, 2018. In preliminary communication tests, stable communication was confirmed at a line-of-sight distance of 42 km. 【Features】 ■ Measurement unit comes with pre-wired sensors ■ Maintenance-free ■ Long lifespan ■ Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation ■ Excellent monitoring and management functions ■ Long-distance communication ■ Abundant external connections *For more details, please feel free to contact us.
