MySentinel Coolstore Watch

Your whole season,in one cold room.

When a chiller fails, nothing looks wrong — until the stock is already gone. MySentinel Coolstore Watch keeps an eye on the temperature and the power, and rings your phone the moment either one slips. So the room can fail; the season doesn't.

§ 01

How a coolstore fails.

It's almost never dramatic. The room keeps its doors shut and its light on while the stock quietly warms. There are four common ways it happens — and Coolstore Watch sees all four.

01

The plant breaks

A compressor or fan fails. We see the temperature start to climb — and read the plant fault directly — long before the produce is at risk.

02

Refrigerant escapes

Gas leaks and cooling fades. The slow rise shows on the dashboard and trips the alarm before the room is warm.

03

The power drops

Mains fails or the supply is cut. We monitor power itself — so you hear about it the instant it happens, not hours later.

04

No one's there

It's 2am, or a long weekend, and no one's walking the shed. The voice-call waterfall reaches a real person anyway.

§ 02

A genuine drop-in.

Coolstore Watch isn't a new gadget — it's the same monitoring that's watched NZ farms since 2020, pointed at your chiller. It wires straight onto the refrigeration plant you already run.

01

Connect

Probes in each chamber, power sensed at the board, and a link to your refrigeration controller.

02

Monitor

Temperature, power and plant status on one dashboard — updating through outages.

03

Alert

Anything slips — heat, power or plant fault — and we call, then call the next person, until someone answers.

04

Prove

Every reading logged indefinitely — a clean record for HACCP, export QA and your insurer.

§ 03

It calls a human.

Most fridge monitors fire a text into the void. Ours rings your phone, then the next number, then the next — until a real person presses 1 to acknowledge.

For a spoilage window measured in hours, the only thing that matters is whether someone actually wakes up and acts. That's the part MySentinel has spent six years getting right.

"Coolstore 1 — power failure detected. Temperature 0.6°C and holding. Calling now. Press 1 to acknowledge, 2 to pass on. Backup feed advised."
— and it keeps calling until someone answers
§ 04

Who it's for.

Packhouses & orchards

Kiwifruit, apples, cherries, avocados — a whole season's value behind one chiller door.

Seed & arable

High-value seed lines where a temperature excursion quietly destroys germination.

Dairy & meat

On-farm and small-processor cold storage that can't afford an unnoticed failure.

Genetics

Semen and embryo storage — irreplaceable stock, tiny sensor count, total peace of mind.

"Something both managed and dependable."
