Troubleshooting missing and outdated temperature readings in the Food Retail app
If temperatures are not updating or appear outdated in the Food Retail app, it usually indicates a disruption somewhere between the sensor and the platform.
The issue may involve the sensor, gateway, network connection, or power supply.
1. Check the sensor - Potential sensor issues include:
-
-
Low battery
-
Communication problems
-
Configuration issues
-
Physical installation problems
-
If the sensor appears offline, investigate the sensor first before troubleshooting downstream systems.
2. Check the gateway - Verify that:
-
-
Gateway is powered on.
-
Network connectivity is available.
-
Gateway can communicate with nearby sensors.
-
If the gateway is offline, sensor data cannot be forwarded to the platform.
3. Check for site issues - Operational conditions at the site can also affect temperature monitoring.
For example, equipment power interruptions or network outages may prevent data from being recorded or transmitted correctly.
