How T & D’ s RTR500B Series Enhances Cold Chain Monitoring in Food Production

In food processing, temperature control is more than compliance- it’ s essential to quality, safety, and brand integrity. This is particularly true in ice cream production, where even minor fluctuations can compromise texture, taste, or shelf life.
T & D Corporation’ s RTR500B Series offers a robust, wireless data logging solution designed to monitor every stage of the cold chain- from production to storage and retail. With cloud integration, real-time alerts, and long-range wireless transmission, these devices ensure complete visibility across temperature-sensitive environments.
From Factory Floor to Freezer
The same applies to cold storage and transport. The RTR500B Series supports wide temperature ranges and offers reliable performance even in remote locations without fixed power – ideal for mobile or transitional environments.
Protecting Quality at Retail Level
Retail freezers are often the weakest link in the cold chain. Fluctuations due to faulty equipment or user error can ruin entire batches. RTR500B loggers discreetly monitor salesroom units and upload data automatically to T & D’ s free WebStorage Service. This provides central oversight and easy access for audits or inspections – streamlining HACCP compliance.
Whether for ice cream, dairy or ready meals, the RTR500B Series gives producers and distributors a reliable, real-time solution for maintaining cold chain integrity from start to sale.

A standout example is MDI, a Japanese manufacturer supplying convenience stores with frozen desserts. At every stage – from pasteurisation to hardening – MDI uses RTR500B loggers to track critical temperatures. Data is automatically sent to a central system via RTR500BW base station( Wired LAN or WLAN, max 50 remote units per RTR500BW can be connected), where staff are alerted instantly if readings move outside safe limits. This allows swift intervention, helping avoid spoilage or compliance breaches.
