Temperature control is a critical factor in many industries. Whether it’s preserving food quality, ensuring safety in pharmaceutical transport, or maintaining efficient industrial processes, accurate temperature monitoring protects products, equipment, and operations. ProSense offers a wide range of temperature sensing solutions tailored to meet the specific demands of Australian industries and environments. This post explores how ProSense supports various sectors with reliable temperature measurement tools designed for real-world challenges.
Cold Chain Transport and Storage
Maintaining strict temperature limits during transport and storage is vital for perishable goods and pharmaceuticals. Even slight temperature deviations can spoil food or reduce vaccine effectiveness. ProSense provides wireless temperature loggers and sensors using 4G and LoRaWAN technology, enabling real-time monitoring in refrigerated trucks, freezers, and warehouses.
Multi-point temperature mapping solutions help identify cold spots or fluctuations within storage units. This data supports compliance with food safety standards and pharmaceutical regulations, reducing waste and protecting public health. For example, a logistics company transporting vaccines can track temperature data remotely, receiving alerts if conditions fall outside safe ranges.
Food and Beverage Production
Temperature control plays a key role in food safety and quality during cooking, chilling, fermentation, and storage. ProSense offers PT100 and RTD probes that deliver precise temperature readings essential for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) programs. Hygienic thermocouples designed for food environments ensure contamination risks are minimized.
Continuous monitoring systems allow producers to maintain consistent temperatures throughout production lines. This helps avoid spoilage, supports quality assurance processes, and meets regulatory requirements. For instance, a dairy processing plant can use ProSense sensors to monitor pasteurisation temperatures continuously, ensuring product safety.
Industrial Automation and Process Control
Industrial processes such as boilers, ovens, reactors, and furnaces require exact temperature measurement to function safely and efficiently. ProSense supplies thermocouples and high-temperature RTDs that withstand harsh conditions while providing accurate data.
Panel meters and PLC-integrated solutions enable operators to monitor and adjust temperatures in real time. This precision helps prevent equipment damage, improves energy efficiency, and maintains product consistency. A manufacturing facility using ProSense sensors can automate temperature control in a furnace, reducing downtime and improving output quality.
Agriculture and Greenhouses
Temperature affects soil health, livestock comfort, and plant growth. ProSense offers soil temperature probes and ambient sensors designed for outdoor and remote environments. Wireless IoT temperature nodes provide farmers with easy access to real-time data, even in large or isolated fields.
Monitoring greenhouse climates helps optimise conditions for plant growth, improving yields and reducing energy costs. Livestock sheds benefit from temperature sensors that ensure animals remain within comfortable ranges, supporting welfare and productivity. For example, a greenhouse operator can use ProSense sensors to automate ventilation systems based on temperature readings.
HVAC and Building Automation
Efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning depend on accurate temperature sensing. ProSense supplies duct sensors, room sensors, and immersion probes that integrate seamlessly with building management systems (BMS), PLCs, and energy management platforms.
These sensors help maintain comfortable indoor environments while reducing energy consumption. For instance, a commercial building can use ProSense HVAC-grade sensors to monitor air temperature in different zones, adjusting heating or cooling to match occupancy and weather conditions.
Water Treatment and Environmental Systems
Temperature influences chemical reactions and the accuracy of pH and ORP measurements in water treatment. ProSense provides waterproof PT100 and RTD sensors that withstand wet and corrosive environments.
Integrated monitoring kits allow operators to track temperature alongside other water quality parameters, ensuring dosing and treatment processes run smoothly. A municipal water treatment plant can rely on ProSense sensors to maintain optimal conditions for chemical dosing, improving water safety and compliance.
Medical, Laboratory, and Pharmaceutical Applications
High-accuracy temperature measurement is essential for vaccines, biological samples, and cold storage in medical and laboratory settings. ProSense offers calibrated sensors that meet stringent accuracy requirements.
These solutions support cold chain integrity and laboratory quality control, helping prevent sample degradation and ensuring reliable test results. For example, a hospital pharmacy can use ProSense temperature loggers to monitor vaccine refrigerators continuously, ensuring doses remain effective.
Mining, Energy & Harsh Environments
Motors, transformers and mining equipment need rugged temperature sensing. ProSense supplies industrial thermocouples, IR sensors and condition-monitoring solutions built for tough sites.
Across all these sectors, ProSense delivers complete temperature sensing solutions-hardware, cloud monitoring, installation support and integration with ProSight or third-party platforms- ensuring accuracy, compliance and reliability in every application.
