From reading to a project decision
- Who this helps
- Owners, developers and procurement teams considering Temperature Monitoring & Compliance — HACCP, GDP, 21 CFR Part 11 & IoT.
- Decision supported
- Define product duty, site constraints and comparable scope before selecting equipment or requesting proposals.
- Review status
- A dated technical review is not recorded for every legacy guide. Confirm current product specifications and local requirements with the responsible specialists; no fresh review is implied.
- Free access
- Read, calculate and use checklists without an account, payment or lead submission. Requesting procurement support is optional.
Sizing, temperature and energy checklist
- Record product, packaging, incoming/target temperatures, humidity and permitted excursions from your product specification.
- Record peak stock, daily intake, dwell time, loading schedule and seasonal peaks from your own operating records.
- Confirm grid connection, usable site area, ambient conditions, water and transport interfaces.
- Use declared operating hours, load, tariff and system efficiency; preserve assumptions when comparing scenarios.
- Have the refrigeration engineer and responsible food/pharma quality lead verify the scope before equipment selection.
Destination, season & logistics checklist
A project evidence checklist, not a seasonal forecast. Complete it for each destination using dated operating records, product specifications and responsible local specialists.
- Destination & handoffs
- Record origin, destination, transport mode, loading/unloading points, planned transit and expected waiting time. Identify who monitors temperature and handles excursions at each handoff.
- Season & peak capacity
- Record actual peak months, daily intake, dispatch, dwell time and highest stock from dated records. Label forecasts separately; do not turn an annual national trade indicator into a monthly demand estimate.
- Temperature & energy duty
- Use the product's approved temperature range, incoming temperature, packaging and loading schedule. Record site ambient assumptions, door-opening frequency, power availability and tariff period for capacity and energy comparisons.
- Site & unresolved risks
- Confirm grid, water where required, vehicle access and dock interfaces. Record the evidence owner, source date and unresolved constraint; leave unknown inputs blank rather than presenting them as verified.

Sensor placement
GDP: mapping study defines worst-case points (typically door zone, return-air, top-of-rack) — permanent sensors placed at ≥2 worst-case points per zone. HACCP food: at each CCP (receive, storage, blast, cutting, dispatch). Never rely on the refrigeration control sensor for compliance — install independent monitoring sensors.
Calibration & metrology
NIST or UKAS traceable, 12-month cycle, single-point verification every 3 months against a certified thermometer. Keep calibration certificates on file for regulator inspection. Digital loggers self-calibrating over time is a myth — physical calibration is non-negotiable.
21 CFR Part 11 & audit trail
Time-stamped audit trail on every setpoint change, calibration event, user action. Electronic signatures with unique user credentials. Role-based access. Backup + retention 5+ years. Server-side data storage, not just gateway. Validated software (vendor's IQ/OQ/PQ package).
IoT gateways & connectivity
Dual connectivity (LAN + cellular fallback). Store-and-forward for outages. Edge-buffered 30+ days. Cybersecurity: TLS 1.3 minimum, no default passwords, segmented VLAN. Cloud vs on-prem: cloud for multi-site chains, on-prem for GDP single-site with slow validation cycles.
Alarm escalation design
Tiered: warning (5-min delay before dispatch), high (immediate), critical (immediate + escalate). Multi-channel: SMS + call + email + BMS. Escalation ladder with 15-min ack window, then next-on-call. Log every alarm and every acknowledgment for audit.
Questions fréquentes
Do wireless sensors meet GDP?
Yes — most modern GDP warehouses use 868 MHz or LoRaWAN wireless loggers. Requirement is calibration traceability and secure audit trail, not the transport medium. Wired is only mandatory in specific pharma jurisdictions (some CN provinces).
How often should mapping be re-run?
GDP: annually + after any layout / racking / refrigeration change. Full seasonal (summer + winter) mapping every 3 years. HACCP food: no fixed cadence but re-verify after any process change.
