<p>A method of tracking and monitoring the temperature of a food product from point of origin until it is removed from the display case. As a plurality of food products are delivered to a store and put into a storage facility, a sensor (100) is associated with a group of food products. The sensor (100) is adapted to simulate the temperatures of the associated products using 'learning algorithms'. As the food products are removed from storage to the preparation area, the sensor (100) is also moved to the preparation area. During preparation, the temperature data maybe added to the product label. Then, the product is loaded into a display fixture. The display fixture has a network interface (104) that activates a cooling system upon activation by the sensor (100). Depending upon the temperature readings of sensor (100), the thermal environment within the display fixture will be adjusted to the temperature so that the product temperature is within a preselected range.</p> |
