Abstract

A wireless system for monitoring and control of the temperature of a product in transport includes a controller system wirelessly connected to a temperature system and a valve control system. The temperature system measures the current temperature of the product and wirelessly transmits the temperature information to the controller system. The valve control system controls the position of a valve allowing heated fluid to move through the product, heating the product. The controller system allows an operator to input a high temperature limit and low temperature limit and alarm, and using the current temperature of the product, wirelessly signals the valve control system to open or close the valve in order to keep the temperature of the product between the high temperature limit and low temperature limit. The controller system monitors and records the product temperature, high and low temperature limits and alarms, and provides a report of the data.
