Software Overview

Corrective Actions

The handheld device offers Corrective Options when the measured temperature of an item is Out of Range (i.e. outside the expected safe zone). These options are defined in the Corrective Options tab (shown in the figure below).

Common default options are already provided. New options can be added and revisions made at any time.

Create Custom Checklists - Yes/No & Surveys

The Temp-Taker™ handheld can be set up to answer yes/no questions. Some common HACCP questions are already provided (see figure below). New questions can be added and revisions made at any time. Note that questions must be assigned to one or more ‘Checklists’. Each Checklist is essentially a group (or list) of questions.

Take Temps - In-Range

The Temp-Taker™ uses a proprietary temperature-stability detection algorithm to determine when the temperature of the probe’s tip has sufficiently stabilized before producing the temperature reading. This contributes toward generating fast/accurate Temps.

The figure below shows how to take In-Range Temps. If the measured temperature is within the established safe zone, an In-Range event is generated and the event details are saved into non-volatile memory (i.e. memory that requires no battery power to preserve data). At this point the device is ready to Temp another item

Take Temps - Out-of-Range

Appropriate Corrective Options are provided according to the product being measured and the circumstances in which the product was measured (e.g. if it’s an initial Temp or if the Temp was taken after corrective action had been performed).

The figure below shows what happens when a Temp is Out of Range. Here the QUICK CHILL option was selected. This initiated a 30-minute Corrective Session (customizable in Corrective Options tab) in which the user must follow through on the corrective action and then re-take the product’s Temp under the Main Menu icon ‘Corrective Sessions’.

Report Generation

Enter appropriate page title/subtitle fields and select the default page layout in the Settings ? Printing tab (see figure below).

Export Data

To help you find the data you need quickly, Temp-Taker™ provides Day, Week, Month, and Custom view-scope options (see figure below). It also has a data filter and a text search feature on the bottom left corner of the print preview window.

The default fiscal week setting is Sunday through Saturday. If your fiscal week is different, make sure to change it in the Settings ? View tab. The Week scope is governed by this setting.

Remote Monitoring Option (with Temp Cloud add-on)

The Temp Cloud Remote Monitoring HACCP Solution is the simplest remote monitoring solution on the market. Now you can wirelessly sense, collect, record and alert critical data points related to your business, including temperature and humidity, 24/7.
