Cymdicator® The One Look Time Temperature Indicator
Cymmetrik developed its Cymdicator® time temperature indicator to effectively assist in monitoring cold chain efficacy throughout the storage, transportation, and selling processes. Cymdicator® is able to accurately record instances of food exposure at above-par temperatures—that result in irreversible quality change—and present the record in a way that’s accurate, intuitive, and easy-to-read. Through such real-time recording, food can be monitored for management even when passing through intermediate terminals, allowing for a comprehensive, integrated cold-chain transportation system that can provide easy tracking over the whole process.
- Visual tracking with easy source tracing, from start to end.
- Real-time tracking of exposure periods to guarantee product quality
- Complete monitoring of storage and transportation process can revealing possible weak links in the transportation chain.

Food Safety & Quality Management
With ever more high-quality farm and fish products entering the world market, we see a general reduction in shelf-life, making transportation temperature management ever more important. It is essential that the entire logistics process is quality assured and temperature controlled, so during cold-chain transport the temperature is often kept at 7℃ or below to inhibit bacteria growth and maintain freshness. We must avoid bacteria reproduction in food products, as they lead to toxic secretions, rotting, and food safety incidents.

Quality and safety are the 2 critical elements in food industry supply chains. And in a cold-chain food transportation system, temperature control is all-the-more important—it is the key that directly determines any cold-chain's efficacy. For fresh farm goods and food products alike, the entire transportation, handover, and storage process must take place in a cold-chain environment to ensure food safety, freshness, and nutrition. Cymdicator®, the One Look Time Temperature Solution, is the essential tool in maintaining food safety, from bulk packaging to the retail shelf. It effectively reduces food waste and plays its part, however quietly, in mitigating climate change.
