About AmbaSense
Founded in 2017, AmbaSense is a Yorkshire based start-up that offers next generation tempera-ture and humidity monitors for fridges and freezers. AmbaSense helps businesses save time and money through the use of its ‘Tiaki’ temperature and humidity monitor.
At present, temperature and humidity monitoring systems are expensive and prohibitive for many small and medium sized food businesses and as such valuable hours are spent by businesses to manually measure and record critical temperatures on an ongoing basis.
AmbaSense seek to take away this problem for enterprises in the food industry through the use of its Tiaki monitor, a wireless and Wi Fi enabled monitor that sits discretely in fridges and freez-ers of any size. The device is innovative in its simplicity, consisting of a small portable temperature and humidity sensor and is battery operated through the use of four AA batteries which last about 1 year in normal use. The Tiaki product requires no additional user software or devices to be installed and only needs a Wi Fi connection to work.
With the Tiaki product, brands within the food and drink industry can monitor critical tempera-ture events, alerting key personnel via SMS and email – anywhere in the world. Offering 24-hour support, the Tiaki device sits inside the appliance and records temperature and humidity reading every minute –there are no wires, no additional software and no need to keep paper records. The Tiaki device automatically uploads the data to a personalised online dashboard which is based on the Safer Food Better Business (SFBB) HACCP format. This allows customers to document, rec-ord and be automatically reminded about any food safety checks bespoke to their business.
There are currently over 500,000 businesses belonging to the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme and the UK Government will soon stipulate that these businesses display their food hygiene rating – a regulation AmbaSense aim to be at the forefront of, rolling out its technology to even more busi-nesses who can benefit from it.
Upon launch of the Tiaki product, AmbaSense will initially be focussing on the UK’s food market, targeting businesses in the food, drink and hospitality sectors who are required by law to record and maintain temperatures in their fridges and freezers. Following this, AmbaSense will look to ex-pand to other sectors which require accurate and reliable temperature and humidity monitoring services such as the pharmaceutical, agricultural, horticultural, care home and transportation mar-kets.
Managed by a team of directors – including Martin Platt, Daniel Hopwood, and Marcel Houtveen – the company is based in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, and provides the solution to businesses looking to work smarter.
