Find out at 2:02 AM,
not at 9.

Wireless sensors watch every walk-in, freezer, and low-boy around the clock. A blip won't wake anyone. When a unit stays past its limit, the right person gets a text, a phone call, or an email while there's still time to save the stock.

Throw out the clipboard

Most kitchens still take temperatures by hand, unit by unit, onto a clipboard. It costs hours of somebody's day, and the record it produces was partly filled in at the end of the night from memory.

Blue Canary takes a reading every minute, including the hours nobody was there. What you hand an inspector is the record the machine wrote.

Great for one kitchen. Built for your tenth.

Start with one site and a handful of sensors. Add sites when you open them.

Quiet unless it matters

Set the range each unit should hold and how long outside it counts as trouble. A freezer on a defrost schedule gets a longer allowance than a walk-in that should never move. A door opening won't wake anyone. A door left open will, and keeps at you until it's acknowledged.

A health score for every unit

Once a unit has a week of history it gets scored every hour on how far it drifts and how hard it works to come back. One pulling away from its own normal rises to the top of the list, so you find it while the timing is still your choice.

A silent sensor is an alert

Every sensor and gateway is watched for silence from its first reading. If a gateway drops off the network or a sensor stops reporting, that raises an alert too. Batteries the same.

Every site on one screen

Every site at once, or one freezer's night on its own.

Everyone gets their own login

Invite your team rather than sharing one password around the pass.

The record the inspector asks for

A temperature record for every unit, written by a machine. When the inspector asks about last Tuesday, you can show them.

Your records stay yours

Download a unit's readings as a spreadsheet whenever you want them. No export request, no waiting on us.

The Blue Canary sensor list: walk-in cooler at 3.1 °C, chest freezer at minus 18.4 °C, prep low-boy at 6.2 °C with a red Alert badge, and bar fridge at 4.0 °C. Each row carries a 24-hour trace; the low-boy's climbs and stays high.

Nothing to wire between them

We ran the kitchens first

Blue Canary is built in Calgary by restaurateurs and engineers. The monitoring we wanted for our own sites either didn't exist or arrived as a quote we couldn't justify, with an installer's calendar and a contract attached. So we built the version we'd have bought.

Your own crew sets up a site in an afternoon

A box lands at each site. No electrician, no cabling to run between units, no installer appointment.

Plug the gateway in first

Connect a gateway to power and Wi-Fi. Larger locations? Add more gateways for full coverage. Get it listening before you place the sensors.

Add sensors one at a time

Put a sensor in a unit and name it while you're standing in front of it, so nothing ends up unlabelled.

Set the ranges, invite your team

Give each unit a range, then invite the people who need to see it.

Put a canary in your cold room.

Tell us what you're running and we'll get you set up.

Thanks, that's with us.

We'll come back to you at the address you gave, usually within a working day.

Your mail app should be open, with the details filled in.

Press send there and it reaches us. Nothing has been sent yet. If no mail app opened, write to sales@getbluecanary.com and we'll take it from there.
