Temperature Monitoring Device for Workflow Monitoring System

A device for monitoring a temperature of a target, comprising:

• a housing having a host interface adapted for wireless communication with a host;
• a microcontroller positioned within said housing;
• an infrared temperature sensor interconnected to said microcontroller;
• a radiofrequency identification transceiver to said microcontroller;
• a temperature probe attached to said housing and interconnected to said microcontroller;
• wherein said microcontroller is programmed to operate:
• said infrared temperature sensor based on at least one temperature monitoring task form a first set of temperature monitoring tasks;
• said radiofrequency identification transceiver based on at least one temperature monitoring task form a second set of temperature monitoring tasks;
• and
• said temperature probe based on at least one temperature monitoring task form a third set of temperature monitoring tasks.
