Our Story
From Temperature Monitoring to Complete Cold Chain Visibility
Cold Watch was built around a simple idea: businesses should know what is happening to their temperature-sensitive products and environments in real time.
For more than a decade, Cold Watch has developed and supplied monitoring solutions that connect physical environments to real-time digital information. From a single medical refrigerator to multiple cold rooms, refrigerated vehicles, production facilities and remote sites, our technology gives businesses visibility over the conditions that matter most.
Our systems measure, record and transmit temperature and humidity data, allowing teams to monitor conditions remotely, receive alerts when parameters change and access historical information when they need it.
Today, Cold Watch provides monitoring solutions across a wide range of industries and environments, with professional installation, technical support, maintenance and temperature validation available as part of our service offering.
