A measuring system can consist of one measuring instrument. 4 Concepts 4.1 General The objective of the temperature recorder is to generate and to record at least the accurate temperature and time, and the accurate location if applicable. An additional concept is the time span that the recorded data has to be traceable (for example, minimum one year for deep frozen food.) The recorder can be a fully mechanical recorder, a mechanical and electronic recorder or a fully electronic recorder. This is why “relevant software” is not always present. Relevant measurement data can be exported for its exploitation by other systems, for example a fleet or warehouse management system. If the exporting mechanism cannot guarantee the traceability of the data, the exported data loses its “relevant” status. The instrument will normally include a set of parameters that affect relevant characteristics of the temperature recorder. For example, calibration parameters, time-date settings and installation location (such as truck ID or warehouse room ID). We will call these parameters “relevant parameters”. The combination of the relevant measurement data plus the relevant parameters forms the “relevant data”. The software that produces, stores, process or transmits relevant data are called reporting software. Relevant software can cohabit with non-relevant software. SIST EN 12830:2018

Figure 1 — Abstract view of the temperature recorder showing its main elements Temperature sensor type can be PT100, PT1000, NTC, Thermocouple, etc. Sensor can be internal, when they are located within the unit enclosure, or external, when not. External sensors can be changeable or fixed to the unit. Sensor intended to measure the temperature of air or the core temperature of the product (insertion sensor). External sensors can be packaged as digital probes when they include electronics to convert the temperature to a numeric value and to communicate with the recorder through a digital channel. Power supply can be external or internal. Internal supply types can be rechargeable and non-rechargeable. An output mechanism will provide output data. Common alternatives are display, printer, and communication port. Communication port can be wire connected or wireless, and can follow an approved standard or be of proprietary design. An input mechanism is used to give commands to the temperature recorder. Common alternatives are keyboard, touchscreen and communication port. The clock for electronic recorder is commonly based on a crystal oscillator that produces a very precise frequency. In order to maintain the correct time on power off, a backup power source is required to keep the clock running. Temperature recorder memory can be volatile or non-volatile. The non-volatile memory can be erasable or permanent. When the temperature recorder program is stored in permanent memory the unit is non-reprogrammable. When the measurements are stored in volatile memory a backup power source is required to ensure that relevant data are not lost on power off. 4.3 Temperature recorder architecture (or configuration) 4.3.1 General The temperature recorder can be built in a variety of architectures ranging from a monolithic instrument to a very complex distributed system. All the subunits of a distributed system that generates, encodes, transports, or stores relevant data will form part of the temperature recorder. In order to clarify the boundaries of the temperature recorders, a description of the possible alternatives and major design challenges will be given in 4.3.2 to 4.3.5. SIST EN 12830:2018

Figure 2 — Monolithic temperature recorder 4.3.3 Monolithic instrument with external relevant data As shown in Figure 3, in this alternative the relevant data can be kept in an external medium. Relevant data are exported to an external device and can be erased from the temperature recorder. In many cases the external device will be a computer that will store in its disk the exported relevant data. The exported relevant data are packaged in such a way as to prevent and/or detect its manipulation. The packaging could be performed internally by the instrument or externally by a computer. In the first case, the downloading to the external storage can be done by an off the shelf application. In the second case, the data leaves the instrument in clear (that is without packaging) and is externally packaged. Therefore, the downloading and packaging application is instrumental to the traceability of the data, and is considered a subunit of the temperature recorder. The connection between the instrument and the external storage can be by wired or wireless. Note that the user of the temperature recorder has the responsibility of maintaining the exported relevant data, for example, implementing a sound backup policy. SIST EN 12830:2018

Figure 3 — Monolithic instrument with external storage of relevant data In addition to the challenges defined for monolithic instruments, this architecture presents the following challenges: — Design a data packaging that prevents and/or detects its manipulation; — Design a packaging mechanism that guaranties authenticity; — Design a communication mechanism that avoids data loss. 4.3.4 Temperature recorder with digital probes A digital probe includes a temperature sensor as well as a signal conditioner which produces a numerical temperature value. As is depicted in Figure 4, the digital probes are connected to a base unit. The temperature recorder is a measurement system composed of the base station and the digital probes. Digital probes can be simple, responding with the current temperature to a base command. Alternatively, the digital probe could also include a clock and a memory to store relevant data, implementing a protocol to transmit the relevant data when appropriate. In this architecture the temperature recorder is a measurement system composed of two subunits: the base station and the digital probe.
Figure 4 — Temperature recorder with digital probes The connection of the digital probes with the base station can be made via a cable or via a wireless digital link. Wireless digital probes normally will include some storage capacity to avoid loss of data in case of link temporal failure. Physical probe sealing is limited to wire connected probes, whereas virtual or software seals will support both wire and wireless connections. Figure 5 shows that auxiliary communication components, such as routers, repeaters or switches, can be included to extend the range of the base stations both in distance and in number of probes. SIST EN 12830:2018

Figure 5 — Temperature recording system with wire and wireless connections 4.3.5 Temperature recorder on the cloud An extension of 4.3.2 consists of using the cloud as the external storage medium. In that case, as Figure 6 shows, the temperature recorder system includes the transmission, processing and storage of the relevant data in the cloud. If the data are packaged before it is sent to the cloud, transmission and storage of the encoded relevant data can be done with off the shelf applications. If that is not the case, the transmission and packaging application is instrumental to the traceability of the data, and is considered a subunit of the temperature recorder system. There are two fundamentally different design options for the cloud server. The first is an owner hosted system and the second is the Solution as a Service (SaaS) approach. a) Owner hosted system: The cloud server and database are stored, managed and maintained by the organization owner of the temperature recorders, which is also responsible for maintaining the cloud system and ensuring its correct performance. b) Solution as a Service (SaaS): The monitoring system hardware (sensors, recorders and base stations) is installed at the organization site, but the software, server and database are hosted by a service provider. The data are collected, stored and managed by the service provider whilst the organization owner of the recorders has access to the data through a secure web interface or other remote procedure. In this scenario, the service provider ensures the cloud system maintenance, correct performance and qualification. This solution includes all the challenges described on the previous sections. Additionally, this architecture presents the following challenge: Dimensioning, maintenance and operation of the cloud system. SIST EN 12830:2018
