Before managing a seafood cold chain, you must first understand what defines a seafood cold chain. A cold chain keeps the fish cold from when it is caught at 0°C. Keeping the fish cold is essential in keeping the fish fresh while reducing the potential for spoilage. Any time the temperature rises above 1°C, the cold chain is considered broken, increasing the amount of loss experienced. Extreme temperatures, in general, should be avoided.
The simplest cold chain possible is a fishery that transports directly to a retailer. With fewer steps in the cold chain, there is less room for error. The more complex cold chains are fisheries that transport to collectors or auctions, which then transport to wholesalers and retailers. It requires much more collaboration in a complex cold chain to ensure the supply chain doesn't break down. In some cases, there may be multiple transport points, and it is not always a simple transfer of seafood from the fishery to the end customer. As far as the transport company is concerned, they keep the cold chain alive while loading, storing, transporting, and unloading the product. These steps are critically essential in the process of transporting without disruption.
Temperature monitors are used continuously to maintain the cold chain. Working and accurate temperature monitors are crucial to any operation while adhering to proper protocols and procedures. Fresh Tag 10 T is a single use temperature data logger. This data logger is designed for recording and monitoring the temperature changes of sensitive products during their transportation and storage. They can be widely used in each stage of cold chains, such as refrigerated containers, refrigerated trucks, cooler bags, cooling cabinets, medical cabinets, freezers, and laboratories. This series of data loggers feature a large LCD screen for intuitive display. They can work for up to 120 days. Parameters can be configured on our free configuration software. After the trip is finished, connecting this logger to the computer, then PDF/CSV/PDF&CSV reports will be generated automatically without using the software.
