About The Customer
RMONI provides wireless remote monitoring of crucial control parameters including a solution for temperature monitoring during transport and storage of food products and pharmaceutical goods. RMONI has more than 1,500 installations in Europe and 10,000 se
The Challenge

RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

The Solution

RMONI created a complete solution with hardware, wireless sensors deployed with XBee modules, gateways and the Sensor2Web application. The modules collect and pass sensor data to a centralized gateway. The gateway packages and sends the data to the cloud. With the Sensor2Web application, RMONI customers can view data in real-time on a dashboard, create reports to provide to regulatory authorities and receive alerts sent via email and SMS messages.
