Simple temperature complianceBrand protection for your businessThe simple way to keep temperatures safeWhat are my food safety obligations?Monika’s paper free solutions are designed to simplify the temperature monitoring components of a HACCP(‘Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points’) plan. HACCP is a systematic approach to identifying andmanaging critical areas of risk in food production, storage, distribution and service. HACCP forms thebasis of recognised standards such as ISO 22000 and the BRC Global Food Standard. Accreditation tothese standards is respected and frequently required by many large food retailers, tour operators andgovernment agencies. HACCP is also the basis of compliance legislation and regulations in many areas ofthe world including the European Union. Applying the principles of HACCP diligently in accordance withthese regulations generally forms a robust ‘due diligence’ defence against prosecution by governmentagencies.Do my manual records really serve my needs?Do your manual temperature recording routines take up too much time and paper?

1wireless hand probingWireless Hand Reader & Docking CradleTemperature data is downloaded daily to Monika PC software via a specialMonika Recharge Docking Cradle.Monika Wireless Hand ProbingSaves food, time and money with handheld data collectionHow it worksWith the Monika Wireless Hand Probing Module you can probe your food at critical points such as goodsin, prime cooking, chilling, re-heating, serving and delivery. You use a Monika Wireless Hand Reader inconjunction with a Monika Wireless Spike Insertion Probe. You can also routinely check food samples orsimulant in fridges or freezers and coldrooms.Saving valuable timeData entry is minimal and limited to scrolling through a limited number of food items. Each team memberhas a user tag for logging on to the Hand Reader. Each probe is assigned to a specific location and hencespecific food items with set temperature limits. You save time and paper writing up charts by logging time,date, team member, location and food item as you log your temperature.Reliability and cleanlinessThe Monika Hand Reader and probe is fully robust and easy to clean. The Monika Docking Cradle rechargesthe unit whenever it is docked. Wireless technology avoids the use of unhygienic coiled cables withfault prone cable connections found on traditional logging thermometers.Protecting your brand and your reputationMonika’s Wireless Hand Probing Module integrates with the other Monika modules to form a singletemperature reporting system. Out of range probed temperatures are reported in the alert log. The alertlog becomes a focus for pro-active action. If you eliminate alerts through effective maintenance and stafftraining you will be guaranteed to have safe food. Monika reports are encrypted. Once generated theycannot be altered, and represent real evidence of due diligence.

2product simulation loggingMonika Product Simulation LoggingSaves food, time and money with handheld data collectionWireless Hand Reader & Docking CradleTemperature data is downloaded daily to Monika PC software via a specialMonika Recharge Docking Cradle.How it worksWith Monika Product Simulation Logging you collect data from your cold rooms, cabinets and appliancesrather than network them back to your PC. A Monika Product Simulation Logger is mounted in each oneand is ‘launched’ using a Monika Wireless Hand Reader. It will then log temperatures at pre-set intervals.You collect your data each day simply by pointing the Hand Reader at the Logger. When all data is collectedyou download it to your PC via a Monika Docking Cradle.When to use Monika Data LoggingMonika data logging is best where you have a small facility with a limited number of units and a limitedbudget. Loggers may also be used on larger sites for holding cabinets, cabinets used for low risk foods andremote cabinets not worth networking.Saving valuable timeLoggers avoid the need to manually record potentially misleading air temperatures shown by dials anddisplays at a single point of time. Visits to cabinets can be reduced to once a day and downloading datais quick and simple. While doing this you can complete your routine stock check of use by dates, correctstorage and cleanliness.Saving food costsAlerts are displayed locally on the logger. In a smaller facility where you can keep an eye on air temperaturedisplays you can quickly check your simulated product temperature on the logger and if necessary you canthen move the food to a safe location. Alerts are generated retrospectively on the PC for entry of correctiveaction, and repetitive alerts can soon be spotted.Protecting your brand and your reputationMonika’s Product Simulation Loggers give you fully encrypted temperature history and alert log reports.Once generated they cannot be altered, and represent real evidence of due diligence. Could you fully rely onyour manual records in a Court of Law?Product Simulation LoggerA Monika Product Simulation Logger is mountedinto each appliance and will log temperatures atpre-set intervals.

3continuous monitoringMonika Pathfinder RF Wireless Continuous MonitoringSaves time and money with automatic data collection while protecting your food with real time alertsNetwork Master UnitHot and cold storage units are linked by Monika’s WirelessPathfinder RF technology to your network master unit(NMU). Readings are stored in your NMU before beingsent to your PC. This ensures the security and reliability ofreadings during PC down-time.How it worksMonika Pathfinder RF Wireless Continuous Monitoring networks your cold rooms, refrigerators, hotcupboards and other food storage appliances. A wall mounted Product Simulation Sensor wired to a Monikaslave transmitter sends temperatures continuously to a Monika Network Master Unit (NMU) where theyare continuously logged and downloaded to your PC or server. For larger sites such as hotels and hospitalswith foodservice facilities acorss a numbers of floors, data is brought back from a wireless network in eacharea across the LAN network. A Monika LAN converter is mounted in each area to enable this, creatingone system building wide.Saving valuable timeManually recording air temperatures shown by dials and displays can be completely erroneous, particularlyif cabinets are overloaded. Best manual practice involves visiting each storage unit up to 3 times a day andhand probing a food sample or simulant gel. How much time does this take if done correctly?Saving food costsTemperature alerts are highlighted on your PC as they occur, and where these are critical they can berelayed by text message or email to nominated team members. Reacting promptly means food can be savedby moving it elsewhere or by using it immediately. What is the value of the food you are storing?Saving money with Monika diagnosticsYou can collect and graph additional data that helps you save money. For example you can monitorcompressor or valve activity. Identifying and fixing constantly running plant saves energy and possiblecostly breakdowns. Door monitoring also highlights wasted energy from doors left open, as well as out ofhours access, indicative of pilfering. Do you know what plant and staff problems are really costing you?Protecting your brand and your reputationMonika’s Pathfinder RF Module gives you fully encrypted temperature history and alert log reports.
