Any deviation from ideal conditions accelerates the deterioration of products, leading to increased waste and inconsistent quality. This recording device logs time, air temperature and location, then data is transmitted in near-real time to a platform, and you can see the conditions to which the product is exposed and how long it has spent in each leg of the chain (www.escavox.com).
