OCEASOFT announces Emerald, a smartphone-connected wireless temperature recorder for cold-chain monitoring

Montpellier, France - OCEASOFT, a leading designer and developer of temperature and environmental parameter monitoring solutions in the cold-chain, life science, and food safety fields, announces the release of OCEASOFT Emerald™, a wireless temperature tracker that connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth.

Slightly larger than a wristwatch, OCEASOFT Emerald monitors temperature-sensitive goods during transit and in storage. Emerald stores up to 4,000 temperature readings and does not require any dedicated computer equipment or complex installations. OCEASOFT’s free EmeraldView™ application for smartphone connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to program Emerald devices, view data, and optionally upload the information – including geolocation information provided by the smartphone – to the Cloud, where authorized parties can check the latest status in just a few seconds.

Laurent Rousseau, president of Oceasoft, says: “Emerald solves a long-standing temperature monitoring challenge for the cold-chain industry. With temperature-sensitive goods transported by many different means, notably in trucks, airplanes, and refrigerated containers of all kinds, it is difficult to track temperature conditions and have access to the information during transit. Emerald leverages today’s widespread use of smartphones to read temperature data and push it to the Cloud. This provides a point-by-point tracking solution similar to those offered by national and international shipping services, without any heavy infrastructure or dedicated equipment.”
OCEASOFT Emerald supports temperature ranges up to -40°C to +80°C and integrates Bluetooth Smart technology for low-power devices. The product will ship to customers in Q1 2014.
