– Background –

SkyLine Convenience is a popular Canadian convenience store known for providing daily essentials, snacks, and beverages to local customers. Owned by Brendon Obrigewitch, the store operates with the slogan, “Your daily stop for snacks and must-haves. The go-to for convenience and more!” SkyLine houses a wide range of perishable and non-perishable products, including meat, dairy, smoked sausages, and a delightful assortment of ice cream flavors. Maintaining optimal temperatures in their coolers and freezers is essential to preserve product quality and meet food safety regulations.

– Challenges –

  • SkyLine Convenience struggles with temperature monitoring for 15 coolers and freezers.
  • They risk spoilage of perishables like meat, dairy, and smoked sausages.
  • They experience complications in diverse product requirements and multi-level access, complicating optimal temperature control.
  • Manual temperature checks are labour-intensive and error-prone, especially in limited-access areas.
  • The setbacks leave SkyLine vulnerable to undetected off-hours temperature fluctuations.
  • Lack of automated monitoring risks significant product loss and financial setbacks.

– Solution –

SkyLine Convenience adopted MOCREO’s real-time temperature monitoring solution to address these challenges, which features:

  • 2 H1B IoT Hubs: This includes the central control units for connecting multiple sensors and relaying real-time data to a cloud platform where computing devices can access the data.
  • 21 ST5 Temperature Sensors: These were installed in coolers and freezers to monitor the temperature of perishable and non-perishable items in real-time.
  • 6 ST6 Temperature and Humidity Sensors: Placed in crawl spaces, storage rooms, and other non-critical areas to track environmental conditions in less frequented spaces.
  • SkyLine Convenience Store implemented advanced monitoring across all critical and non-critical refrigeration units, including public-facing coolers and employee-only storage areas.
  • Each cooler and freezer features tailored temperature alert settings; for example, Cooler 1 triggered notifications at 4°C and Cooler 2 at 6°C.
  • These settings allow granular control over diverse product requirements and optimize perishable goods preservation across the entire store.
  • SkyLine Convenience administrator monitors the temperatures remotely through MOCREO’s accessible computer and phone alerts.
  • The real-time temperature monitoring system provides 24/7 alerts, ensuring food safety and operational efficiency at SkyLine.
