How to Prevent Food Waste Using Blulog RF
Saving Sugar Beets
A main goal at Bluline Solutions is helping businesses and facilities improve issues like product waste, food safety, and temperature data visibility. Specifically with produce companies that carry fresh food items, spoilage can happen rapidly when environmental or internal temperature is not maintained. This can lead to irreversible product waste and damage. Dewey Produce, located in Byron, New York, has been using a variety of Blulog products. This includes our RF monitor to remotely monitor temperature and humidity of their agricultural cold storage facility. Using our products has allowed them to monitor their products in a more reliable manner and prevent product waste.
Before discovering Blulog by Bluline Solutions, this facility, a producer and wholesaler of sugar beets, used a hardwired system from iVi that controls and monitors temperature and humidity. This system did not have the ability for remote access. Without real time live monitoring, Dewey Produce was unable to be notified of breaches in their cold storage facility, resulting in food waste. With the installation of Blulog RF, they are able to continuously monitor the temperature of the environment and the internal temperature of their sugar beets.
“This has saved Dewey Produce considerable time and money and helped reduce food waste.”
What Makes Blulog the Best Option?
Additionally, without having remote access to temperature data, temperature excursions would go unnoticed until someone came into the facility. Thankfully, Blulog’s system has alarms to alert users when there are breaches in temperature. There have been multiple occasions where product damage was prevented because they were quickly notified of the environment’s temperature change. This has saved Dewey Produce considerable time and money and helped reduce food waste. The Blulog BluConsole cloud-based dashboard makes it easy to access data on and off site.
Before discovering Blulog products, the owner at Dewey Produce noted that competitive live monitoring systems were not only more expensive, but required recurring fees to operate their service. Dewey Produce considered upgrading the iVi system, but it was cost prohibitive and failed to match the performance of the technology that Blulog provides. The manager of Dewey Produce said that, “The Blulog price point is perfect”. They were pleasantly surprised to know that Blulog products do not require a subscription fee.
Dewey Produce happily recommends Blulog products to others, saying that “It’s affordable, easy to use, and works flawlessly.” For facilities with fresh produce, using a reliable electronic temperature monitoring system is necessary to prevent food waste and ensure the safety of perishable items.
