OCEASOFT unveils Emerald™ wireless temperature tracker for cold-chain monitoring

Feb. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- OCEASOFT, a French leader in temperature monitoring, has released OCEASOFT Emerald™, a wireless temperature tracker that connects to the user’s smartphone via Bluetooth™ Smart and has applications in cold-chain management, in the agri-food sector, and in life sciences. OCEASOFT designs and develops solutions for monitoring temperature and environmental parameters in connection with goods in storage or transit.

Laurent Rousseau, president of OCEASOFT, explains: "Emerald™ solves a long-standing temperature-monitoring challenge for the cold-chain industry. With temperature-sensitive goods transported by many different means, notably in trucks, airplanes, and refrigerated containers of all kinds, it is difficult to track temperature conditions and have access to the information during transit."

Laurent Rousseau continues: "Emerald™ leverages today’s widespread use of smartphones to read temperature data and push it to the Cloud. This provides a point-by-point tracking solution similar to those offered by national and international shipping services, without the need for any heavy infrastructure or dedicated equipment."

Slightly larger than a wristwatch, OCEASOFT Emerald™ monitors temperature-sensitive goods during transit and in storage: it is a smartphone-connected, wireless temperature recorder and tracker for cold-chain monitoring. Emerald™ stores up to 4,000 temperature readings and does not require any dedicated computer equipment or complex installations in order to be deployed. Emerald™ has a wide range of applications — from cold-chain management and food safety to the life sciences.

OCEASOFT’s free EmeraldView™ application for smartphones connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to program Emerald™ devices and to view data. An additional option makes it possible to upload the information — including geo-location data provided by the smartphone — to the Cloud, where authorized parties can check the latest status in just a few seconds.

OCEASOFT Emerald™ supports temperatures ranging from -- 40°C to + 80°C and integrates Bluetooth Smart technology for low-power devices. The specialist company will start deliveries of the product to customers in the first quarter of 2014.
