Cutting Food Waste with Smarter Temperature Control at a Leading Liverpool Fruit Importer
Cutting food waste is a major priority for companies operating in the food industry. Maintaining the correct temperature during production and storage is vital to ensure product quality, prevent spoilage and meet compliance standards. When these conditions are not carefully monitored, the risk of bacterial growth and product loss increases significantly.
This was the challenge facing Peter Gilding Company Limited, a fruit importer based in Liverpool. To address it, they implemented 16 EasyLog EL-WiFi-T data loggers. The result is a fully automated monitoring system that protects product quality while reducing manual work.
Quick and Simple Implementation
Nick Dalfen, Director at Peter Gilding, found Lascar Electronics while searching online for a reliable, easy-to-use temperature monitoring solution. The EL-WiFi-T ticked all the boxes.
Simple as 1,2, 3… does what it says on the tin.
Each logger was ready to use within five minutes of charging, and configuration using the EasyLog software was straightforward. The user interface is clear and intuitive, requiring no specialist training or technical expertise.
The app is easy to use and understand—nice and clear layout.
This allowed the team to implement the system quickly and without disruption to their operations.
Continuous Monitoring for Peace of Mind
With real-time data always available, Peter Gilding has complete confidence that their storage conditions meet industry requirements, helping them in cutting food waste effectively. Automated alerts notify the team if temperatures go outside pre-set thresholds, allowing swift action before any product is affected.
The loggers’ compact design, built-in display and simple mounting options made them a practical fit throughout the facility.
From Manual Checks to a Modern Solution
Before introducing EasyLog, Peter Gilding Company Limited had no formal system in place for monitoring temperature. Now, they benefit from automated data logging, full traceability and access to historical records without relying on manual checks. The system has strengthened their quality control processes and supported their goal of cutting food waste.
