From the situation of all kinds of sales ratio, fresh food merchandise sales accounted for a larger increase, up 7.1% from 2020, convenience store enterprises have been the consensus on the importance of fresh food category, for the management of the store, convenience stores for the store goods temperature and humidity control is particularly important.

Challenge

The convenience store food safety chain covers production, distribution, and stores. Problems in any of these three areas can affect food quality, threaten consumer health and safety, and have a significant impact on their own operations. Secondly, according to the requirements of food safety, convenience stores need to have records of food temperature. Traditional mini-markets and convenience stores mostly use manual registration, which is random and has a low reliability based on traceability. The lack of effective monitoring may lead to loss of goods due to the failure of refrigeration equipment, especially ice cream goods, more serious is the loss of temperature leading to food deterioration may lead to consumer discomfort, for consumers and practitioners are great food safety risks.

Solution

Humpback whale dart series of products from the distribution and store link with the user to solve the temperature concerns, portable cold chain version of the product can set AI automatic start, the whole process to grasp the temperature situation in the transport chain, the operator can view the location of transport vehicles in real time through the platform, temperature and humidity change curve, when the temperature exceeds the set range or cold chain break will automatically issue a warning. Whale Dart's in-store control solution helps users to carry out a complete temperature management system, and cooperates with users to refine the temperature partitioning, and to set up a finer temperature monitoring system for ice cream cabinets, ice cream sub cabinets, single freezer cabinets, rice cabinets, open beverage cabinets, closed beverage cabinets, FF refrigerated cabinets, and kanto-cookers respectively. At the same time, the convenience store traffic is relatively large, the air is very easy to turbid, in order to ensure that the air is fresh usually, must have good ventilation system, in addition to the temperature of the air conditioning should be quasi-seeking comfort principle, the winter should be warm and not cause irritation, the summer should be cool and not suddenly cold, the store air conditioning to maintain a comfortable temperature and moderate is essential for the store of all types of cold machines and air conditioning are set a scientific and reasonable temperature threshold For the various types of coolers and air conditioners in the store, scientific and reasonable temperature thresholds are set, and real-time alarm is provided for exceeding the thresholds. The Humpback Whale PaaS platform provides a good statistical and management perspective for a customer with over 3000 stores. The products provided to the user in this case include portable cold chain version, LoRa gateway, temperature and humidity probe, body sensor, and high temperature probe (boiling point).
