OneTemp worked with the team to put together a solution around its exact response scenario. The team now holds the system in reserve, ready to deploy the moment it&#8217;s needed, without waiting on lead times for sensors.<\/p>\n<h3>The challenge<\/h3>\n<p>In an avian influenza response, on-farm composting is one of the disposal methods AUSVETPLAN sets out. It only works if each pile reaches and holds specific internal temperatures for long enough to inactivate the virus, and the response team needs evidence that it did.<\/p>\n<p>The team was building that capability before it was needed.

The outer layers lose heat to the air and can run much cooler than the core, so a reading near the surface won&#8217;t show whether the material inside has reached the right temperature.<\/p>\n<p>Remote monitoring was part of the brief from the start. All the data from every pile comes into one cloud dashboard, so the team can check temperatures without travelling to the property. If they add more sites later, those appear in the same dashboard too. When mobile coverage drops out, the sensors keep logging and the station holds the data, then sends it to the cloud once coverage returns.<\/p>\n<p>The same system is already used by other Australian organisations, including state agencies and major resource and organics waste companies.<\/p>\n<p>Use the link to the right to download\u00a0 the Project Snapshot<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How an Australian biosecurity team put compost monitoring in reserve, ready to deploy the moment it&#8217;s needed.<\/p>","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-47114","resource","type-resource","status-publish","hentry","resource-category-use-cases","manufacturer-resource-onetemp"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
