When a school closes for weekends, public holidays or term breaks, a canteen fridge or freezer can lose temperature without anyone noticing. By the time staff return, food may be unsafe and hundreds or thousands of dollars of stock can be lost.
VEXIAN keeps monitoring while the school is empty.
See how it works Build a school systemThe canteen may be closed. The fridges should still be watched.
Continuous monitoring can keep running through weekends, school holidays and overnight.A fridge door may not seal properly. A power interruption can occur. A freezer can slowly warm up. A staff member can leave a door open before the school closes.
If nobody checks until the next day — or the next term — the problem may have already become a stock-loss and food-safety issue.
VEXIAN gives nominated staff visibility without requiring someone to physically stand in front of the appliance.
Sensors can monitor fridge and freezer temperatures and notify nominated users if readings move outside configured limits. That gives the school a chance to investigate sooner.
Temperature readings continue in the background, including after hours and during school closures.
If conditions move outside your configured limits, nominated users can receive an alert.
Staff can investigate before a small refrigeration problem becomes a full canteen stock loss.
A school can connect up to 10 compatible sensors to a single VEXIAN Hub and use them across the canteen, storeroom and surrounding areas. Sensors can typically communicate within approximately 15–30 metres of the Hub, depending on walls, shelving, building materials and local signal conditions.
That means you are not limited to monitoring only the inside of a fridge.
Build the mix that suits your school — temperature, temperature and humidity, and door sensors around the canteen, storerooms and food-storage areas. For a relatively small monitoring investment, one Hub can help protect thousands of dollars of refrigerated and stored food.
School canteens can hold thousands of dollars worth of refrigerated, frozen and dry food. A single unnoticed fridge failure over a weekend or school holiday can quickly turn into a major stock loss.
VEXIAN gives staff another layer of visibility by continuously monitoring key storage conditions and alerting nominated users when something moves outside configured limits.
That helps schools protect stock and supports food-safety procedures by giving staff better information about how food has been stored before it is served to students.
Use different sensors in different locations so staff have one place to see what is happening across the canteen.
Every school will be different, but a single Hub could be configured to monitor a wide range of critical points around a canteen and surrounding school facilities.
2 × fridge temperature sensors
1 × freezer temperature sensor
2 × temperature + humidity sensors
2 × door sensors
2 × door sensors on key entry points
1 × sensor position available for another fridge, room or door.
This is where remote monitoring becomes especially useful.
During long weekends and term breaks, food can remain in fridges and freezers even though the canteen is unattended. VEXIAN can continue monitoring those appliances and alert nominated staff if something changes.
Instead of discovering a failed fridge when the school reopens, you have the opportunity to know while the issue is happening.
Start with the VEXIAN Hub and choose up to 10 sensors based on the areas your school wants to monitor.
Install VEXIAN in your canteen and use it in the environment it is designed for. If it is not right for your school, return it within 30 days in accordance with our returns policy.
Request a quoteYes. A school can connect multiple temperature sensors to the same Hub, allowing several refrigeration points to be monitored from one system.
Yes. Nominated users can receive remote alerts when monitored conditions move outside configured limits, provided the Hub remains connected.
Yes. The same Hub can support a mix of compatible sensors, including temperature, temperature/humidity and door sensors.
Up to 10 compatible sensors can be connected to a VEXIAN Hub.
Typical range is approximately 15–30 metres, but actual range depends on walls, shelving, building materials, interference and local signal conditions. Schools with larger or more difficult sites may require more than one Hub.
No. VEXIAN is a monitoring and alerting system. It helps staff identify changes in monitored conditions sooner, but schools remain responsible for their food-safety procedures, equipment maintenance and decisions about whether food is safe to use.
Monitor fridges, freezers, humidity and doors from one Hub, help protect thousands of dollars worth of food, and give staff better information to support safe food-storage decisions.
