On a delightful Saturday morning, the facilities director of West Fargo Public Schools received an alert on his phone regarding a freezer malfunction at one of their campuses. It was a notification from TempLink’s monitoring system. Reading the message, the director realized there was a bulk order of ground beef, along with other inventory, stored in the freezer that had been shipped on the previous day for the school district.

Upon checking, they found the freezer temperature was heating up due to an unknown failure and filled it with dry ice until the HVAC team arrived. The instant alarm activated by TempLink’s solution, composed of gateways, sensors, and a dashboard—saved all the food and inventory worth over $200,000. Sensors within the cooling unit detected the rise in temperature and communicated the issue to the dashboard via a gateway. Utilizing the reliability and scalability of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud, the system promptly sent an alert from the dashboard to the director’s phone, ensuring they were immediately informed.

TempLink integrates LoRaWAN technology into all its wireless sensors for better connectivity, eliminating common connectivity and range issues of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi-based systems. With its high-performance rating, LoRaWAN reduces power consumption, offers a longer range with less interference from other frequencies, and provides a more stable connection, scalability, and security.

“Leveraging over three decades of combined experience, we have built high-sensitivity devices that offer superior connectivity, reliable monitoring, and a cost-effective solution for our customers,” says Gary Tharaldson II, CEO.

The company offers a wide range of products, including LoRaWAN-based sensors—both waterproof and standard—along with food line probes, cook cycle probes, and leak detectors, enabling more efficient data transmission than traditional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth systems. Each TempLink system can support hundreds of sensors offering unmatched scalability, efficiency, and an impressive 300-yard range for reliable performance across large areas, making it ideal for diverse monitoring needs. Significantly, almost six years in the IoT sector, TempLink has never witnessed its batteries go below 50 percent, and its products remain functional and perform optimally for up to 10 to 15 years.

TempLink allows users to easily track the system's real-time performance and battery levels through custom-built dashboards. Designed by in-house software developers, these dashboards help users access automated temperature logs recorded by sensors while in operation. They can personalize the dashboard according to their preferences to update sensor names, locations, login credentials, and other account details. Regular notifications and emergency alerts are forwarded to phones, email, and applications on the logged devices. Users can quickly download temperature logs for any desired date range and format, with all data stored securely in their dashboard for easy access whenever an inspector arrives or when they need to review it.

What makes TempLink’s solution appealing is its user-friendliness and easy installation process. The intuitive setup of this standalone system allows clients to quickly deploy sensors in desired locations and plug the gateway into a standard power outlet and Ethernet connection. Users can view data and receive real-time alerts just by logging into their dashboards from any device— mobile, tablet, or desktop.

From food processing companies, healthcare centers, senior living communities and school cafeterias to grocery stores and restaurants, all rely on TempLink for the preservation, monitoring, logging, and alerting of their cold storage units and high-heat equipment. Whether medicine, cosmetics, or food in restaurants, the company provides scalable solutions with cold chain sensors and high-temperature probes. Notably, the automated services for temperature management reduce manual labor for repeated checks, help avoid regulatory fines for being in noncompliance, can reduce insurance premiums, and prevent inventory loss, saving both time and investment.

Dedicated to helping businesses sustain their product quality through constant monitoring, TempLink is committed to continuously evolving and enhancing its system, developing customized solutions and integrating new features to improve user access and support at every level of operation.
