Keep Cold-Storage Teams Safe and Compliant

In freezers and chilled plants, worker safety and productivity have to coexist. SmartX HUB tracks who's inside, how long they've been exposed, and whether every certification and break requirement is met — automatically, with a full compliance trail.

Safety, Efficiency & Compliance

Transforming Workforce Management for Cold Storage Environments

In the food-processing and cold-storage industries, ensuring worker health and safety while maintaining productivity is critical — and regular breaks in warm areas are essential to prevent cold-related illness. Companies must comply with complex regulations like FSMA, NIOSH, ANSI, and Brazil's NR-36, yet traditional workforce-management methods are inefficient and error-prone.

SmartX HUB combines RFID and facial-recognition access control to deliver real-time tracking of worker activity — authenticating each person, monitoring entry and exit times, and managing schedules, certifications, and training so all personnel are qualified and compliant. A centralized dashboard on a smartphone app gives managers live data on attendance, productivity, and compliance, eliminating thousands of pages of manual paperwork. It integrates with environmental monitoring and builds on our access control platform.

Three Pillars of Cold-Storage Workforce Safety

Authenticate every worker, give managers a live view, and prove compliance automatically — the three capabilities that make a freezer a safe, efficient workplace.

RFID & Face-Recognition Access
Real-time tracking of worker movements with RFID and facial recognition. Strategically placed devices monitor entry and exit times, ensuring only authorized, qualified personnel access critical cold areas.
Integrated Management Dashboard
A dashboard on a smartphone app gives managers real-time data on attendance, productivity, and safety compliance. Built-in analytics and visualization turn the data into detailed reports and confident decisions.
Compliance & Productivity Monitoring
Detailed records ensure compliance with FSMA, NIOSH, ANSI, and NR-36. Automated, paperless timesheet management tracks productivity, surfaces inefficiencies, reduces errors, and cuts legal risk.
When speed and visibility are vital to your team's safety
Four components work together to protect workers the moment they step into the cold.
1
RFID-Enabled PPE
Workers wear PPE embedded with RFID tags for real-time tracking of movement and activity — optimizing deployment and enabling fast response.
2
Strategic Readers & Face Devices
RFID readers and facial-recognition devices in key locations ensure precise monitoring of entry and exit times across the plant.
3
Safety & Risk Management
Tracks individual and collective risk to prevent accidents and health issues, and manages schedules, certifications, and training.
4
Management Dashboard
A centralized dashboard on a smartphone app gives managers real-time attendance, productivity, and compliance data.

Prevent Cold-Related Illness
Track time-in-cold per worker and prompt warm-up breaks before exposure becomes a health risk — the core of a compliant cold-work program.
Eliminate Paper Timesheets
Paperless time-sheet management replaces thousands of pages of manual documentation — cutting admin, errors, and the cost of proving hours worked.
Qualified Personnel Only
Manage schedules, certifications, and training so only qualified, compliant workers enter critical cold areas — enforced automatically at the door.
Boost Productivity & Cut Risk
Track productivity to identify inefficiencies and optimize performance, while integration with HR systems mitigates legal risk across the operation.
The Technology

Rugged Tech Built for the Cold

Cold-storage tracking runs on technologies chosen to perform in sub-zero conditions — from RFID gateways at every door to wide-area coverage across the plant.

Choosing tech for a freezer environment has its own rules. Our RTLS technologies comparison weighs range, accuracy, and cost.
