Real-time temperature monitoring for potato storage
Potatoes have strict temperature requirements during storage. Generally speaking, the most suitable temperature range for long-term storage of potatoes is between 2 ℃ and 4 ℃.
In this temperature range, the metabolism of potatoes can be maintained at a low and stable level, which can effectively slow down the occurrence of adverse conditions such as germination and decay. If the temperature is too high, exceeding 5 ℃, potatoes are prone to premature germination, consuming internal nutrients, leading to a decrease in quality, and sprouted potatoes may also produce harmful toxins to the human body.
When the temperature is too low, such as below 0 ℃, the water inside the potato will freeze, and the formation of ice crystals will damage the cell structure of the potato, making its texture soft and rotten. After thawing, it is also easy to rot, losing its value for consumption and sale. So, strictly controlling the storage temperature is one of the key factors to ensure the good quality of potatoes during storage.
Real time temperature monitoring devices will become a necessary tool for potato storage. Freshliance real-time solution provides customers with a very good choice.
By using Freshliance BlueTag TH30/TH10 temperature recorder, temperature sensors can be installed at different locations in the cold storage, and the temperature data can be uploaded to the cloud platform through the black gateway. Users can monitor the temperature inside the cold storage in real-time through a mobile app or computer platform.
The temperature alarm range can also be set through the mobile app. Once the temperature exceeds the normal range, the device will send an alarm message to the user, informing them through email and SMS, reminding user to check the temperature status of the cold storage and whether the refrigeration equipment is working properly.
