TempTRIP tracks temperature from harvest to store

TempTRIP LLC, Broomfield, Colo., offers customers time and temperature data from harvest to store.

The company is using cloud computing — accessing data or using a program on the Internet, without needing to possess it on a computer’s hard drive.

“We can now graph your product’s journey on a map — literally from harvest to store,” Phaedra Culjak, chief operations officer, said.

A smart card is put on a pallet or case, or in multiple locations for more detailed information, and it’s scanned, which starts the time and temperature monitoring. It’s optional to have it scanned at every stop, to give data specific to each segment of the trip.

The information is collected by a reader and uploaded to TempTRIP cellularly or through a USB drive. Or, like NetFlix, users can mail the card to TempTRIP, which will post the data online within 24 hours.

Data for a trip using one card costs $5, but additional cards cost less. If other companies down the distribution chain buy in, it’s cheaper for everyone.

“It can be $2 a pallet,” Culjak said.
