Abstract
A cloud-based system for monitoring food storage/processing comprising at least one fixed sensor to collect fixed location environment data; at least one handheld sensor to collect mobile location environment data; and a remote monitoring and reporting system to collect the fixed and remote location environment data and to audit the collected data. A portable device comprises a processor configured to: receive the mobile location environment data; and transmit an auditable version of the received mobile location environment data to the remote system. A hub device comprising a processor configured to: receive the fixed location environment data; and transmit an auditable version of the fixed location environment data. The monitoring and reporting system is configured to determine whether the version of the environment data indicates that the monitored environment is operating within the bounds of a model defining correct operation of a food process and to output an alert if necessary.
