Sensor Dashboard

1. Overview

The Temperature Sensor Dashboard provides real-time visibility into the status and readings of connected refrigeration units across different operational zones. This guide covers the layout, interaction methods, sensor data interpretation, and auxiliary features available through the dashboard interface.

2. Dashboard Layout

Tabs Across the Top

The dashboard includes multiple navigation tabs:

• Devices (default tab): Displays a grid of temperature sensor blocks.

• Corrective Actions: Shows any recorded actions taken in response to out-of-spec temperatures.

• Calibration: Provides access to historical calibration data for each sensor.

• Compliance: Displays compliance records related to temperature monitoring.

These tabs are consistent across all operational dashboards, allowing users to switch views while staying within the context of a particular site, level, or kitchen zone.

3. Sensor Display

Each temperature sensor is displayed as an individual block containing:

1. Sensor & Unit Identification

• Unit Name: Shown in bold at the top (e.g. FG2-HOR-F1 (162)).

• Sensor ID: A unique identifier string directly below the name (e.g. A8404151545ACAF1).

✅ Interactive: Clicking on the unit name opens a modal with detailed readings and historical data.

4. Visualization

Each sensor block features one or two vertical bars representing real-time temperature values.

Bar Types:

• Ambient Temperature: Blue (normal), represents environmental/display temperature.

• Probe Temperature: Green (normal) or Red (if out of range), represents internal/product temperature (e.g., in a vial of water or oil).

❗ Red bars indicate the temperature has breached the defined tolerance threshold (too high or too low).

Bar Details:

• Live Temperature Reading: Value is shown within each bar (e.g. -18.44).

• Y-Axis: Adjusts to suit temperature range (e.g., -20 to 15°C).

• Average Temperature: Shown below each bar (e.g., avg 2.8).

---

5. Status & Timing

At the bottom of each sensor block:

• Last Update: Indicates when the most recent telemetry value was received (e.g., last update 3 minutes ago).

• Maintenance Mode: If a sensor is under maintenance, a message will be shown, but it remains clickable for review.

6. Temperature Types

Type	Color	Description
Ambient	Blue	Air/display temp of the unit's environment
Probe	Green	Product-equivalent temp inside a vial (oil/water), simulates core temperature

---

7. Operational Groupings

Sensor dashboards are grouped by logical operational zones, such as:

• Kitchen areas

• Refrigeration banks

• Floors or departments

This allows easy navigation across all monitored devices in a facility or building.

8. User Interactions

Action	Result
Click unit title	Opens latest sensor chart and historical modal
Hover over title	Highlights it's clickable
Red bar	Indicates temperature is out of tolerance
Blue/Green bar	Indicates normal temperature within limits
"Under Maintenance" label	Sensor still accessible but flagged for review

---

9. Example Use Case

If a unit like FG2-HOR-F1 (162) is showing:

• Ambient: -19.85°C (avg -20.3)

• Probe: -14.92°C (avg -15.9)

And both bars are not red, the system is functioning within frozen storage expectations. If one were to turn red, a corrective action would be needed.
