DALLAS, TX - Coborn’s recently rolled out Logile’s Thermal Intelligence™ solution across its banners to further its commitment to food safety and labor solutions.
“We have improved productivity and gained approximately two hours a day in redirection of labor by eliminating the manual temperature taking and recording process with Logile Thermal Intelligence,” remarked Kim Kockler, Director of Food Safety at Coborn’s. "We can now accurately monitor and manage hot food temperatures in addition to cold foods, and can reliably keep our holding cases at the optimal temperatures for both food safety and food quality.”
Coborn's worked closely with Logile to fine-tune its new Thermal Intelligence solution. The retailer wanted to improve its food safety capabilities and address existing temperature monitoring system limitations and challenges, a press release outlined, including air-based temperature monitoring, cold-food-only monitoring, and frequent false alarms.
“By avoiding overheating our hot cases and holding both hot and cold cases at the right temperatures, we have less spoilage, reduced shrink, and improved products to offer our customers,” Kockler continued. “We now have the confidence that temperatures are always monitored with Logile’s 24/7 solution and that we are accurately measuring actual food temperatures and not just air discharge temperature. We also anticipate reducing energy consumption and lowering our energy costs as approximately every one degree off the correct temperature costs us 3 to 4.5 percent additional energy usage, which adds up across the enterprise. Logile has been a great partner and gone above and beyond to meet our unique requirements.”
As the release went on to explain, Logile’s complete platform solution automates temperature taking and recording with wireless temperature sensors encapsulated in a thermal engineered fluid that imitates actual food temperatures and records them every 10 minutes, for both cold and hot foods.
