Launch of wireless food hygiene monitor

Elektron Technology plc (AIM: EKT, "Elektron" or the "Group"), the global technology group, has launched Checkit, a wireless food safety monitoring device. 

Checkit is an affordable, simple to install device which helps restaurants and food outlets monitor food temperature, storage status and humidity. The smart wireless solution avoids the need for relying on manual checks.

Checkit dramatically speeds up the time-consuming and costly processes of monitoring and reporting. It offers a fully-audited, automated system with secure electronic data storage for continuous monitoring of temperature, humidity, door status and hygiene checks in food production, service and retail industries. Hand-held monitoring units collect food temperature and hygiene data at the press of a button, reducing the risk of human error. All data is time-stamped and downloaded to a centralised database, which automatically generates food safety compliance reports, and provides a full audit trail. 

The flexible, modular system is fully scalable for any type of food operation, from a single, local site through to demanding multi-site operations, using intuitive web-based software to configure, monitor and manage the complete network from one location. All food safety data is stored and archived centrally for trend analysis and food storage optimisation. 

John Wilson, CEO of Elektron Technology commented:

"With the recent heightened concern around food safety and hygiene, restaurants and food businesses simply cannot afford to take risks with food safety monitoring.  Our Checkit solution helps businesses analyse and manage these risks, providing them with real-time data collection, analysis, reporting and alerts.

"Checkit is the latest in our range of monitoring and control products and we continue to invest in developing innovative technologies that respond to market needs."
