Temperature Sensor

Temperature is probably the most frequently measured environmental variable. Temperature sensors – devices used to measure the amount of heat energy that allows to detect a physical change in temperature – can be used in a wide range of applications. They have found their way into manufacturing processes, agriculture, room automation and healthcare, among other industries. The sensors can measure the temperature of solids or liquids and are available in different options, e.g. as a stand-alone device or a built-in element in a BLE beacon (for asset condition monitoring).

Use Cases for Condition Monitoring using Temperature Sensors

Sensing temperature can be a beneficial addition to indoor positioning systems. Here are some examples:

A temperature sensor is the ideal solution for monitoring applications in a cold chain context, because it allows to ensure that products are maintained in optimum condition when stored or transported.

Software solution used: Indoor Tracking, Geo-Based Processes
Sensors used: temperature sensor, Bluetooth Low Energy
Example of use: Temperature Monitoring of Food in a Warehouse


A real-time tracking and condition monitoring system makes it easy to maintain appropriate temperature conditions when storing pharmaceutical products.

Software solution used: Indoor Tracking, Geo-Based Processes
Sensors used: temperature sensor, Bluetooth Low Energy
Example of use: Monitoring of Environmental Conditions in Pharmaceutical Storage


In manufacturing processes, many machines require a specific environmental temperature, as well as device temperature. Using temperature sensors ensures that the production process runs optimally.
