Wellington Drive Technologies (Wellington) announced the launch of its latest product innovation, the Connect Monitor, an internet of things (IoT) device designed for easy retrofitting to existing cooler fleets. Wellington's Connect IoT product range remotely monitors and diagnoses cooler performance, alerts and faults, helping to efficiently manage customer service calls, minimise downtime and time spent on site. These benefits lead to improved beverage sales and increased equipment productivity. The battery-powered Connect Monitor is a multifunctional IoT sensor explicitly designed for refrigeration applications. Its extensive features include temperature measurement, compressor operation, sales performance, appliance movement detection, and asset location. It also features Bluetooth beacon technology for proximity marketing applications. The Connect Monitor's lithium battery offers five years of life under normal operating conditions, which include fast beacon advertising and low-temperature environments. Monitor is easy to install in the field and can be activated through the Connect Field App, linking it to the Wellington Connect Cloud. The inbuilt data-logger can store up to two months of data, and its patented door swing sensor allows for flexible and discreet mounting inside coolers, freezers, or cabinets.
