What is temperature mapping?
Temperature mapping is a method to determine the hot and cold spots of an area so that sensors can be installed for permanent registration. It is a vital process for the verification of temperature controlled areas such as freezers and conditioned storage areas. Besides determining hot and cold spots, temperature mapping also makes clear whether or not the temperature is evenly distributed.
Why is temperature mapping important?
Temperature mapping is a requirement in context of the e-GDP / e-GMP regulations for each space intended for the storage and handling of products with a specific allocated storage temperature. This includes freezers, cold rooms, conditioned storage areas, quarantine areas and loading bays.

Temperature mapping by Introtech
A grid of multiple sensors is placed throughout a temperature controlled area. Each sensor measures the temperature and/or humidity at a different measurement point during a set period of time. All of the recorded data is directly transmitted to a mobile device via Bluetooth and is also safely stored in the cloud.
The raw data is accessible via a mobile app and website. The mobile application provides different kinds of reporting tools which can be used to gain different insights in realtime. With these insights it is possible to analyze and identify the hot and cold spots within an area. This information is used to determine the locations for permanent temperature monitoring.
Hardware
Based on years of experience, IntroTech has selected the best hardware to exercise a proper temperature mapping. The hardware used in this process are Kelsius dataloggers. Kelsius offers a wide range of different data logging products. The Kelsius datalogging products are completely wireless, small and easy to use.
Software
The hardware sends data via a Network Controller to the Cool Check software. Kelsius uses an FDA 21 CFR part 11 compliant cloud-platform. Through the CoolCheck application the data collected by the hardware is accessible.
