E-Control Systems Presents IntelliCart Monitoring Food Carts and Food Trucks System

    /24-7PressRelease/ - CHATSWORTH, CA, November 08, 2007 - E-Control Systems, Inc., a trusted leader of HACCP and remote temperature monitoring hardware and software products for Food Services, presents its IntelliCart wireless temperature monitoring system for food carts, portable stations, and other equipment used for transporting food between various locations, including refrigerated and non-refrigerated trucks, at the New York International Hotel/Motel and Restaurant Show, Javits Convention Center, New York City, 11-13 November 2007, in conjunction with BSE Marketing, Booth 1833.

IntelliCart is a battery-operated, wireless temperature monitoring system capable of monitoring up to two temperatures per cart/truck. IntelliCart is secured onto the cart/truck in a weatherproof enclosure to protect it from external conditions. Operators switch the IntelliCart "GO" button at the point of origin and the "ARRIVE" button at the destination. IntelliCart sends the temperature data to the reporting system, identifying the segment during which the cart was transported or during the trip of the truck. Even if the operator forgets to activate the buttons, temperature data is collected continuously (24/7). In this case, the time-stamp for the readings can be used to identify the segment in which the food was transported. Ultimately, food temperatures are available every step of the way!

IntelliCart works in conjunction with E-Control Systems' IntelliSense family of products. Wherever there is an IntelliSense system deployed, including an IntelliGate at base and satellite locations, IntelliCart can be used to continuously (24/7) monitor temperatures in food carts, portable stations, trucks (refrigerated and non-refrigerated), and other equipment used for transporting food.

IntelliCart allows real-time temperature monitoring of transported food with GPS-like indicators. Alarms can be set to flag any food temperature readings that are outside of acceptable parameters throughout the delivery cycle.

IntelliCart operates on the same platform as all other solutions and services offered by E-Control Systems, including:
• IntelliSense - Wireless temperature, humidity and pressure sensors
• IntelliCheck - Web-based, handheld PDA and wireless IntelliProbe system for HACCP and food temperature monitoring during preparation and service. PDAs can be monitored from a central location, enabling real-time management intervention for unresolved and site-specific corrective actions.
• IntelliTrack - Temperature data loggers - Information captured wirelessly through the IntelliCheck system
• IntelliQuip - Monitoring Blast Chillers, Combi Ovens and other foodservice equipment with smart controllers
• IntelliMonitor - Wireless food temperature monitoring
• IntelliControl - Web-based solution for monitoring and control of multiple Scotsman Ice Machine units and locations with a Prodigy remote-access module.
