Environmental Monitoring for Food & Beverage
Monitor production area humidity, storage conditions, and processing environments in real time. Prevent moisture-related spoilage and maintain food safety compliance records.
The Problem
Where Things Break Down
High humidity in a dry goods storage area causes mold and product loss
Dry storage areas need humidity below 60% to prevent mold growth. A malfunctioning HVAC unit or a loading dock door left open can push humidity above safe levels. Without monitoring, the problem is discovered when product is already damaged.
Production area conditions affect product consistency
Dough proofing rooms, chocolate tempering areas, and fermentation zones all depend on specific temperature and humidity conditions. Drift in either parameter changes the product. By the time QC catches it, the batch is already affected.
HACCP documentation requires environmental records that take days to compile
Food safety auditors expect environmental monitoring records for every critical control point. When those records are spread across paper logs, BMS exports, and data logger downloads, preparing for an audit becomes a multi-day project.
Our Approach
What Sandhed Does Differently
Sandhed connects to Shelly H&T sensors for temperature and humidity, and accepts additional environmental data from Kepware gateways and the REST Telemetry API for metrics like air pressure and particulate counts. Every reading is mapped to the sensor's physical location on your 3D floor plan. You see multi-sensor overlays showing temperature, humidity, and other parameters as color-coded zones. Thresholds are set per sensor and per metric, so each cleanroom class or controlled area has its own acceptable ranges. When conditions drift, alerts are created with automatic severity calculation and routed to the right team via email. All readings are stored in time-series format for compliance documentation.
Multi-Sensor Environmental Overlays
View temperature, humidity, and additional environmental parameters as layered color-coded overlays on your 3D floor plan. Switch between metrics to see which zones are in range and which need attention.
Zone-Specific Threshold Configuration
Set independent high and low thresholds for each sensor and each metric. A cleanroom can have humidity limits of 30-65% while an adjacent storage area has different requirements. Each zone enforces its own rules.
Severity-Based Alert Routing
Small drifts generate warnings sent to facilities teams. Readings 20% or more beyond a threshold trigger critical alerts routed to quality management. Each team member controls which severity levels they receive.
Continuous Compliance Records
Every environmental reading stored with a timestamp in time-series format. Alert lifecycle data, including creation, acknowledgment, and resolution, provides a complete audit trail. Pull records for any zone over any time period.

Temperature Monitoring
A 2-degree drift in a freezer or pasteurizer can destroy product, trigger recalls, and halt production. Sandhed maps live temperature data from Shelly sensors onto your 3D floor plan so you see every cold chain risk the moment it starts.
View SolutionCompliance & Audit Trails
Most facilities piece together audit documentation from spreadsheets, paper logs, and disconnected systems. Sandhed records every action, threshold breach, and maintenance event automatically, so your compliance evidence is ready before anyone asks for it.
