Two temperature alarms expand Timestrip neo
Timestrip has expanded its neo family with the Freeze Alarm and the Room Temp indicator. The Freeze Alarm is designed for products that are sensitive to freezing, and provides a visible alert if the ambient temperature drops below 0 degrees C for 30 minutes and shows a further alert at 60 minutes. The Room Temp indicator monitors the range 15 to 25 degrees C, and alerts at one hour.
The Fridge Alarm reacts at three temperatures and at five time intervals. All the products check temperatures around two times a minute.
Target applications are healthcare including vaccines and pharmaceuticals, as well as foodstuffs, paint, adhesives and chemicals. Serial numbers on every product provide for traceability in quality control systems.
Timestrip neo is a range of single-use temperature and time indicators that are inexpensive. They are more accurate than liquid indicators, the electronic indicators have been specially developed to combine ease of use with a very small and light form factor. All Timestrip neo indicators are suitable for pack level monitoring with both time and multiple temperature settings.
“The Timestrip neo platform technology can cover a very wide range of user needs”, said Gabriel McGlynn, chairman of Timestrip. The Freeze Alarm and Room Temperature indicators join the existing Fridge Alarm and all are held in stock for rapid despatch.
Other configurations of time and temperature are available to order for quantities as low as 20,000 units.
Timestrip designs and manufactures time and temperature indicators. The company works in partnership with global brands, leading OEMs and product designers. Timestrip Enabled products drive changes in supply chain standard operating procedures and consumer behaviour, which in turn leads to greater product safety, product authenticity, regulatory compliance and reduced wastage.
Timestrip indicators are capable of monitoring time from one hour to two years, and temperatures from -20 to 53 degrees C. In addition to a core product range, a research and development team develops new products for bespoke applications, replacing the need for expensive and unstable electronic components.
The products are low cost, making them suitable for a wide range of monitoring applications in many sectors including food, pharmaceutical and healthcare.
Timestrip’s customers include 3M, Tesco, Parker Hannifin, Siemens and Febreze. It won a UK NHS Innovations Award and was identified in the ‘Top 10 Emerging Technologies of 2019’ by Scientific American magazine.
