Dickson is launching an affordable, all-inclusive temperature monitoring solution that brings together a data logger, a calibrated sensor and cloud software in a single package. Designed mostly for pharmacies, clinics, laboratories and food & beverage sectors, it makes automated cold chain monitoring accessible to every site, even the smallest, from the very first day.

Whether they handle medicines, samples or food, the people responsible for these sites share one obligation: keeping temperature-sensitive products stored correctly, day and night. Vaccines, insulin, biological samples, reagents, prepared foods and fresh ingredients: a single refrigerator can hold a valuable and costly share of a business's stock. Every dose dispensed, sample analyzed or meal served depends on a cold chain that stays intact, from delivery to use.

Thermometers and paper logs are no longer enough

Healthcare facilities and food businesses alike are responsible for maintaining the cold chain on their premises. Whether the check is a pharmacy inspection, a quality audit or a HACCP review, inspectors expect temperature records that are continuous, reliable and traceable.

In practice, many sites still rely on a min-max thermometer and a manual reading once or twice a day. This takes time and leaves blind spots: nights, weekends and public holidays. One door left ajar or one equipment failure, and an entire stock may have to be discarded and reordered.

During an inspection or audit, you need to show a complete, readable history. Loose sheets or an incomplete spreadsheet no longer meet quality expectations.

An all-inclusive pack, ready out of the box

To meet these requirements without adding to your teams' workload, Dickson, an environmental monitoring specialist for more than a century, has brought hardware and software together in one package:

• The Cobalt XS Wi-Fi data logger: it connects directly to Wi-Fi with no gateway required and sends readings automatically every five minutes. Its screen shows the temperature in real time.
• A calibrated sensor: supplied with a calibration certificate, it delivers reliable, traceable measurements.
• The DicksonOne cloud platform: accessible from a computer, a tablet or smartphone, it centralizes readings, triggers alerts and generates reports automatically, for one fridge or several facilities.

Setup takes less than five minutes and needs no IT department.

Built for every temperature-sensitive environment

• Pharmacies: maintain proper storage for vaccines, insulin and refrigerated medications, with automatic alerts and inspection-ready records.
• Clinics: oversee vaccine refrigerators, freezers and ambient medication rooms with a single connected solution.
• Laboratories: support proper storage and documentation for medications, blood products, biological samples and reagents.
• Food & beverage: demonstrate food safety and HACCP compliance for prepared foods and refrigerated ingredients, with continuous temperature records. Restaurants, central kitchens and food retailers can watch every fridge, freezer and cold room from one dashboard.

Three packs to match your environment

• Temperature Pack: temperature sensor from -30 °C to +60 °C, with a 27 cm, 1 m or 3.5 m cable. Ideal for a pharmacy, medical practice or food business with a few refrigerators or freezers.
• Ultra Low Temperature Pack: temperature sensor from -80 °C to +100 °C, with a 3.5 m cable. Designed for ultra-low temperature freezers and oven applications.
• Temperature + RH Pack: temperature and humidity sensor (0 to 95% RH), with a 1.5 m flat cable extension that keeps the door seal intact. Recommended for laboratories, ambient storage areas (25 °C) and medical centres.

What changes day to day

24/7 vigilance. If a temperature moves outside its set limits, the right people are alerted immediately by email, SMS or phone call. They can act before the excursion puts stock at risk, even when the site is closed. Users are unlimited.

Time given back to your team. Manual readings disappear. Pharmacy staff can focus on patients, lab technicians on their analyses, and kitchen teams on service, instead of keeping a logbook.

Inspections approached with confidence. Continuous, time-stamped, digitally signed records are archived and available at any time. Export an inspection-ready report in PDF or CSV in one click, whether for a health inspection, an ISO audit or a HACCP review.

An affordable, predictable budget. Each pack is all-inclusive over three years, with no hidden licence fees and automatic updates. Year 1 includes the hardware; Years 2 and 3 cover the licence and recalibration. Continuous monitoring becomes accessible to every site, including the smallest.
