DALLAS, Dec. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- At a time when food
safety is in the spotlight, operators are looking for smart
solutions to help ensure customer safety and protect their brand.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
about one in six, or 48 million, people each year get sick from
contaminated food in the United
States alone1. VeriSolutions is teaming with
AT&T* to automate and help simplify compliance with food safety
guidelines.
VeriSolutions' platform features a temperature monitoring
solution that uses AT&T IoT technology to gain insight into
equipment. The VeriSolutions platform consists of:
- Sensors with an embedded AT&T Global SIM that collect
temperature and humidity data.
- A data analytics hub that collects and aggregates sensor
information.
- A user interface, powered by AT&T Control Center, that
monitors the sensors, provides near real-time diagnostics and
provisioning, and sends alerts, notifications and reports on their
activity.
With the connected restaurant solution, employees can:
- Take immediate action on unusual sensor activity – saving time,
money and, most importantly, helping prevent food
contamination.
- Be alerted to problems, like malfunctioning refrigeration and
food spoilage.
- Benefit from automated compliance of the traditionally manual
process for the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)
System, which is designed to address end-to-end food safety.
- Spend time on customer experience, not logging
temperatures.
Milton, Georgia-based White
Columns Country Club is one of VeriSolutions' customers. It's part
of ClubCorp, the largest owner and operator of private golf and
country clubs in the U.S. The technology lets them improve
operations and enhance customer safety.
"VeriSolutions has simplified temperature logging and
reporting," said Josh Carden,
executive chef at White Columns. "I show the health inspector daily
reports with readings in regular intervals. She thinks it is
spectacular. I love that it saves me several hours per week in
logging."
Everyone knows good, fresh food is key to a restaurant's
success. Most don't know the measures restaurant managers must take
to ensure customers have the best quality.
"One of the worst things for a restaurant owner is arriving that
day to find their walk-in refrigerator has malfunctioned," said Mat
Barnwell, VP of Sales at VeriSolutions. "With our connected
solution, they are notified when the cooler temperature is out of
threshold range – helping prevent a loss of thousands of
dollars worth of inventory."
