Hand-held LoRaWAN Probe – Wireless Spot & Continuous Temperature Monitoring for Food Safety Operations

$200 per unit (USD)

Overview

The Handheld LoRaWAN Probe is a versatile, wireless temperature monitoring tool designed for both spot checks and continuous temperature tracking. Built for real-time HACCP compliance, it combines portability with robust connectivity through existing LoRa infrastructure.

With an integrated display and action button for manual spot checks, the probe also supports automated send intervals (e.g., every 5 minutes), enabling it to operate as a continuous monitoring device in cook chill or hot holding processes.
