# Food Core Sensors
Food industry specific sensors for cold & frozen product temperatures, in real-time
### Overview
The Senzemo Temperature Sensors are high-performance, European-manufactured devices designed for precise and reliable temperature monitoring across a wide range of storage environments — from ambient storage to chillers, under-bench fridges, and frozen storage.
Built with integrated ambient and food product simulant integrated into the same housing, these sensors combine robust design, LoRaWAN connectivity, and smart onboard data logging to deliver dependable performance in even the harshest conditions.
Purchase
> $250 AUS per unit
Simplest, most water-proof design for the food industry conditions.
#### Dual Temperature Sensor
Combines:
* Ambient temperature measurement, and
* Product simulant temperature, engineered with integrated glass beads that mimic real food product thermal behavior.
Unlike traditional sensors that rely on external vials or cabled probes, the Senzemo Dual Temperature Sensor features an integrated product simulant within the sensor body itself.
This design:
* Eliminates cables and external components,
* Reduces breakage and maintenance,
* Provides more accurate food temperature representation, and
* Ensures maximum durability in humid or high-moisture environments.
This makes it the only sensor on the market designed specifically for food safety applications in hotels, kitchens, and hospitality facilities — engineered from the ground up for this purpose.

### Key Features
#### 1. European Engineering and Quality
Manufactured in the European Union, Senzemo sensors meet the highest standards of quality, consistency, and reliability. Each unit is constructed using premium materials and tested for long-term durability under demanding conditions.
***
#### 2. LoRaWAN Connectivity
Using the LoRaWAN protocol, the sensors transmit temperature readings every 20 minutes in real time.
This ensures low power consumption, long-range connectivity, and compatibility with most LoRaWAN network infrastructures.
***
#### 3. Onboard Data Logging
In the event of a network outage, Senzemo sensors continue to record temperature readings locally on the device.
Once connectivity is restored, the stored data is automatically synchronized — ensuring no data loss and continuous compliance monitoring.
***
#### 4. Long Battery Life
Powered by a cold temperature optimised lithium 1.5V battery, each sensor achieves a battery life of up to two years, reducing maintenance requirements and minimizing total cost of ownership.
***
#### 5. Compact, Hygienic Design
The small, lightweight form factor makes installation easy, even in tight spaces.
The IP67 waterproof rating allows direct washdown and hose cleaning, ideal for food storage environments requiring strict hygiene.
The smooth housing leaves no entry points for water or debris — ensuring long-term reliability in humid or wet conditions, such as hotels, kitchens, and Southeast Asian climates.
***
#### 6. Easy Installation and Maintenance
Each unit includes a clip-in mounting bracket, allowing quick installation and simple removal for calibration or maintenance.
This streamlined process reduces downtime and ensures compliance checks can be carried out efficiently.
***
### Applications
* Cold rooms and freezers
* Chillers and under-bench fridges
* Food storage and preparation areas
* Hotel and hospitality kitchens
* Compliance monitoring for HACCP and food safety systems

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.didge.io/home/pricing/sensors-and-probes-pricing/food-core-sensors.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
