Why a New Temperature Monitoring System was Necessary
Temperature monitoring of food service areas is essential to keeping students safe, especially for a large school district. Specifically, cafeterias are especially vulnerable to temperature changes. Food spoilage can be disastrous for a large campus of students. For one Southwestern Pennsylvania school district, who has their elementary, middle, and high school on one large campus, utilizing a scalable temperature monitoring system was crucial. With the system they had in use, they were paying a subscription fee although the monitoring devices stopped working ahead of its life expectancy. Additional mounting and the need to be by a computer to read temperature data made this simple task more complicated than necessary.
This school district turned to Blulog products and is ecstatic with the results. The district developed stricter requirements while searching for a new wireless temperature monitoring system. They were looking for a system large enough for all schools on a large campus, an easy to use format with complimentary mobile apps, unique notifications by email and text messaging, and a subscription free service. Luckily, Bluline Solutions was able to meet these requirements. One of the biggest challenges school districts are facing is how to lower their annual expense budgets without affecting their students or quality of education. Bluline Solutions offers live temperature monitoring without the hassle of a subscription fee, in addition to being affordable.
How Blulog Saved the Day
This school district was pleased with the ease of use and accessibility of the Blutag app. Schools run a tight ship where all faculty and staff need to be “all hands on deck” throughout the day. A key requirement was having a temperature monitoring system that didn’t need constant supervision. With the mobile app, key staff are notified on-the-spot of changing food storage conditions for items stored in the schools cafeterias. Therefore, immediate corrective action can be implemented.
Shortly after this school district started using Blulog’s wireless temperature monitoring system, a utility electrical power transformer on campus failed, taking down all the fridges and freezers at the elementary school. Thankfully, the Blulog system notified the personnel of this issue, and they were able to respond quickly and efficiently. No food or products were damaged or wasted! Had they not upgraded to Blulog from their previous temperature monitoring system, they would not have been notified. The end result would have been costly.
School districts with both small and large campuses could greatly benefit from an efficient temperature monitoring system. Students’ safety and well being is a main priority. With a system like Blulog, faculty and staff are able to focus on what matters most.
