Episcript builds temperature monitoring systems in Singapore that turn IoT temperature and humidity readings into live dashboards, SMS and email alarms, excursion records and audit-ready reports. AI can spot a freezer drifting warmer.
Built for cold stores, food distributors, central kitchens, pharmacies, clinics and laboratories in Singapore that must keep temperatures in range and prove it.
From sensor to audit
Each fridge, freezer or cold room keeps its readings, alarms, responses and reports in one record.
Each sensor sends its temperature, and humidity where measured, at the interval you set, say every five minutes.
Each reading is checked against that unit's limits, allowing a brief rise during loading or defrost.
A reading outside limits beyond your set delay sends an SMS and email alarm to the person on duty.
Staff acknowledge the alarm from their phone and record what they did, such as moving stock to a back-up freezer.
The excursion is logged with start, end, peak and duration, beside the corrective action and stock decision.
Logs, excursions and corrective actions for any unit and period come out as one audit report.
Live monitoring
Every chiller, freezer, cold room and medicine fridge across your sites, with its reading and status.
Each outlet, warehouse or clinic is set up with its rooms, units and sensors, so a central kitchen and its outlets share one screen.
Every unit shows its latest reading, limits and status, with units in alarm at the top, and a curve for the last day, week or month.
A blast freezer, display chiller and vaccine fridge each carry their own limits, warning level and alarm delay, and a unit off for cleaning can be paused.
Where a sensor measures humidity, a dry store or pharmacy store gets humidity limits and alarms, sharing one curve, excursion record and report.
A sensor that stops reporting raises its own alarm, and low battery and weak signal warnings show where the sensor reports them.
Managers check units, acknowledge alarms and add notes from their phone, seeing only the sites and units they are responsible for.
Alarms and escalation
Each alarm goes to the right person for that site and unit, day or night, and moves up the chain until acknowledged. Every alarm and response is time-stamped, opening the excursion record.
Alarms go to whoever is on duty for that site and shift, from a roster your managers keep.
If nobody acknowledges within your set time, say fifteen minutes, the alarm moves to the next person, then the manager.
Alarms go by SMS, email and WhatsApp where your team uses it, naming the unit, reading and broken limit.
One tap on the link in the message acknowledges the alarm, opens the unit's curve and stops the next escalation.
Alarm delays, warning levels and paused units stop a door held open for a delivery waking the manager at home.
A daily summary lists overnight alarms, units still out of limits and silent sensors before the first shift.
Excursion records
The system opens an excursion record when a unit leaves its limits and closes it on return. Batches in our inventory management system can go on hold until a pharmacist or quality lead releases or discards them, so agree what your team does after a temperature excursion first.
Reports and audits
A paper log filled in at shift end proves only that someone filled it in.
A continuous temperature monitoring system records every reading automatically. Each edit logs user and time, records kept per your retention policy, and reports support your HACCP plan, food safety audits and pharmacy or clinic checks.
Where it is used
The core stays the same; units, limits, alarm rules and reports follow what you store and who checks it.
Walk-in chillers, freezer rooms and cold stores are monitored by zone, with delays suited to frequent loading and readings beside the pallets in our warehouse management system.
Chillers, freezers, blast chillers and hot-holding units are monitored continuously, with cooking, cooling and reheating probe checks on a tablet for your HACCP plan.
Sensors in refrigerated vans report on the road over a mobile connection, and each run's record stays with the delivery in our delivery management software.
Medicine and vaccine fridges get tight limits, short delays and a full excursion record, shown beside the drug inventory in our clinic management system.
Sample fridges, reagent freezers and incubators share the same alarms and excursion records, and each lab room can carry its own temperature and humidity limits.
Temperature and humidity monitoring covers rooms where damp is the real risk, such as dry stores, pharmacy stores and archives.
AI capability
Each is built in its own phase on your temperature records and checked by your team.
AI flags a freezer slower each week to recover after loading, or a chiller warmer than its neighbours, while both are within limits.
AI projects each unit's temperature trend over the coming weeks, so you can book a service before a busy festive period.
Managers ask in plain English which units had the most excursions last quarter, and get the answer with the readings behind it.
AI drafts the excursion summary and corrective action note from readings and staff entries, for a manager to check.
An AI agent gives staff the current reading in a cold room or fridge on WhatsApp or email, only for the sites each may see.
AI reads calibration certificates and service reports, filling in dates and findings on the unit's record for staff to confirm.
Sensors and connectivity
Episcript builds the software; which sensors it reads, and how they are supplied and installed, is agreed at scoping, including ones you already have. Readings arrive through a gateway, cloud service or your network, and the system copes when a connection drops.
Buying decision

One site goes live first, and others follow with the Singapore team that built it.
Common questions
A temperature monitoring system collects readings from fridges, freezers, cold rooms and vehicles, raises alarms when a unit goes out of range and keeps the records. In Singapore, buyers include cold stores, food distributors, central kitchens, pharmacies, clinics and laboratories.
The cost depends on scope: sites and units, sensors to connect, alarm and escalation rules, records and reports, integrations and any AI features. We quote the software against an agreed specification, with one site live first.
Our solutions are eligible for government grants. Replacing paper fridge logs with continuous readings, alarms and audit reports is the kind of project the schemes support, and we talk it through as part of scoping.
The system reads IoT temperature and humidity sensors with a data feed, whether wireless through a gateway, Wi-Fi, cellular or wired, including ones you own. Episcript builds the software; sensor supply, installation and calibration are agreed at scoping.
Each unit has its own limits, warning level and alarm delay, so opening a door for loading does not trigger one. Past the delay, the alarm goes by SMS and email to the person on duty, then escalates until acknowledged.
A sensor that stops reporting raises its own alarm after the time you set, and the gap shows in the unit's log. Readings a sensor holds during an outage are filled in when the connection returns.
The system's temperature logs, excursion records, corrective actions and stock decisions support a HACCP plan, food safety audit or pharmacy or clinic check. Edits are logged, and meeting each standard still depends on your own procedures.
The system can pass readings and excursions to your warehouse, inventory, delivery or clinic software by API or scheduled file exchange, for example to hold affected batches. Alerts and reports can go to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace mailboxes.
AI features work with your own readings and records: anomaly checks on units drifting warmer, trend forecasts, plain-English questions, drafted excursion summaries, WhatsApp and email agents and reading calibration certificates. Each is built in its own phase.
Starting with one site is the usual approach, and timing depends on scope, sensors and integrations. Live readings and alarms go in first, then excursion records and reports, and further sites join once the first runs well.
It is an online, web-based temperature monitoring system: managers use it in the browser and on their phones, and alarms reach them wherever they are. Hosting is by Episcript or in your own environment.
Sensor readings are stored as they arrive and are not edited, while changes to excursion notes are logged with user and time. Role-based permissions decide who sees which sites, acknowledges alarms or exports reports.
