Kitchen working conditions monitoring
Monitor kitchen working conditions in real time. SmartKitchen AirTracker measures temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide levels in commercial kitchens. It helps identify deviations and improve staff working conditions based on reliable data.
Benefits:
- Continuous monitoring of temperature, humidity, and CO₂ levels
- Email and SMS alarms
- All measurement data in one service
- Easy deployment without depending on kitchen WiFi
Better visibility into kitchen working conditions
Conditions in a commercial kitchen can change considerably during the day. Equipment, food preparation processes, ventilation, and peak operating hours can all affect temperature and humidity levels. A single measurement does not necessarily show what happens during a busy lunch service or on a warm day.
Continuous monitoring helps identify recurring deviations and determine when corrective action may be needed. Measurement data supports practical improvements and makes it easier to evaluate their impact over time.
Workplace conditions are affected by several factors, not only air temperature. These include humidity, air movement, radiant heat, workload, and breaks. Kitchens are among the working environments where employees may be exposed to heat stress.
Identify deviations early
SmartKitchen AirTracker continuously monitors working conditions. If temperature, humidity, or CO₂ levels exceed or fall below the defined limits, selected recipients receive an alarm by email or SMS.
Alarm limits can be configured according to the monitored area and its intended use. This allows staff or facility management to respond to deviations promptly and target corrective measures effectively.
Improve conditions over time
Improving working conditions requires data from a longer period. A single measurement only shows the situation at one moment, while continuous monitoring helps identify how conditions change according to operating hours, seasons, and occupancy levels.
Measurement data is stored in the SmartKitchen service, where it can be reviewed afterwards and used to evaluate the impact of ventilation adjustments or other corrective measures.
Monitor the conditions that matter
Temperature
Track temperature changes throughout the day and identify situations that may increase the physical strain on kitchen staff.
Humidity
Monitor changes in humidity and identify whether deviations are linked to food preparation, washing processes, or ventilation.
Carbon dioxide levels
CO₂ levels provide a useful indication of how effectively a space is ventilated while it is in use. Continuous monitoring helps identify times and areas where ventilation may require closer attention.
CO₂ monitors are useful for assessing ventilation, but the results should be treated as a broad indicator rather than proof that indoor air is safe.
Easy to deploy
Battery-powered measurement devices are placed in the required locations. Data is automatically transferred to the SmartKitchen service through a mobile gateway with an integrated SIM card.
The solution does not depend on the kitchen’s own WiFi network or require a complex IT project. If the kitchen already uses SmartKitchen services and has a gateway, the same connection can also transfer working-condition data.
SmartKitchen AirTracker can be used as a standalone solution or alongside SmartKitchen digital HACCP and food waste tracking. The current page already describes this technical operating model.
Frequently asked questions
What does SmartKitchen AirTracker measure?
The solution monitors temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide levels.
Where can the measurement devices be used?
Devices can be placed in areas such as kitchens, dishwashing areas, staff spaces, or dining areas. The appropriate locations depend on which working conditions need to be monitored.
Does the solution replace an indoor air quality assessment?
No. The solution provides continuous data on temperature, humidity, and CO₂ levels. This helps identify deviations and supports further investigation, but it does not replace a professional indoor air quality or ventilation assessment when one is required.
Does deployment require WiFi?
No. Data is transferred to the SmartKitchen service through a mobile gateway with an integrated SIM card.
Can the solution be used without other SmartKitchen services?
Yes. SmartKitchen AirTracker can be used as a standalone solution or alongside other SmartKitchen solutions.
