Cold storage & agriculture
Temperature and humidity monitoring for cold storage and agriculture
TempTrack shows cold-store owners and farms the temperature and humidity in every chamber, on their phone, at any moment. When a refrigeration unit stops or values leave their range the alert arrives immediately, so a whole season’s harvest is not left to chance.
Challenges
What is specific about cold stores
01
A whole season in a few chambers
The chamber holds the harvest the farm lives on all year. One unnoticed refrigeration failure can destroy months of work.
02
Humidity preserves weight and freshness
Fruit and vegetables lose mass and shrivel in dry air and rot in air that is too humid. Humidity therefore matters as much as temperature.
03
Sites outside town
Cold stores are often remote, with nobody permanently on site and no reliable internet connection inside the building.
04
Long storage
Apples and potatoes are stored for months. Small but constant deviations only show in the trend, not in a single reading.

Regimes
Typical storage regimes
Indicative values that depend on variety and intended use. The exact regime is set by your technologist.
| Product / space | Regime |
|---|---|
| Apples and pearsat 90–95 % RH | 0…+4 °C |
| Berries (fresh)at 90–95 % RH | 0…+2 °C |
| Frozen fruit and vegetables | ≤ −18 °C |
| Potatoes (table)at 90–95 % RH | +4…+8 °C |
| Onionsat 65–75 % RH | 0…+2 °C |

How TempTrack helps
The chamber on your phone
Temperature and humidity for every chamber are visible in the mobile app, with no trip to the cold store.
An alert when the unit stops
As soon as temperature starts to rise, an alert arrives by SMS, email or Telegram, at night too.
Works where the building has no network
A LoRaWAN signal has long range and passes through panels well, so sensors do not depend on Wi‑Fi.
A history of the whole season
Temperature and humidity charts per chamber show the trend and help tune the regime for next season.
Where sensors are usually placed
- Cold rooms for fresh fruit and vegetables
- ULO chambers
- Tunnels and frozen stores for frozen fruit
- Intake area and sorting hall
- Potato and onion stores
Frequently asked questions
Do I need internet in the cold store?
Sensors do not need Wi‑Fi. They send data to a LoRaWAN gateway, which needs one internet connection and can be placed outside the chamber itself.
Can I monitor several cold stores at different locations?
Yes. All locations and chambers appear under the same account, in one app.
How much maintenance does the system need?
Sensors are battery powered and designed for low energy use, so maintenance comes down to occasionally replacing batteries.
