Method and system to monitor container conditions

A refrigerator system, comprising:

• one or more containers housed within a refrigerator environment;
• each container having a top, a bottom opposite the top, a sidewall in between the top and the bottom, the container configured to hold a content in a volume under a pressure;
• a first sensor coupled to the container, the first sensor tracks a temperature of the container;
• a second sensor located within the refrigerator environment, the sensor tracks a temperature of the refrigerator environment;
• a first gateway device that is located within the refrigerator environment and hardwired to a second gateway device that is located outside the refrigerator environment, the first gateway device receives data from at least one of the first sensor or the second sensor in response to an electronic instruction, the at least one of the first sensor or the second sensor communicates a first data package that includes at least one of the temperature of the container or the temperature of the refrigerator environment;
• the first gateway device communicates the first data package to the second gateway device via the hardwired connection;
• the second gateway device creates a second data package that includes a time stamp of when the first data package was communicated, an identification of the gateway device, and the first data package;
• and
• a track component that is configured to:
• communicate the electronic instruction to the first gateway device via the second gateway device;
• communicate data to the sensor via the second gateway device and the first gateway device;
• receive the second data package;
• evaluate of the time stamp from the second gateway device and the identification of the gateway device;
• identify of a geographic location of the second gateway device and the sensor coupled to the container based upon comparing the identification of the gateway device to a collection of geographic locations having gateway devices each with a respective identification;
• monitor the temperature of the container and the temperature of the refrigerator environment at the geographic location;
• and
• communicate a notification if at least one of the temperature of the container or the temperature of the refrigerator environment is outside a predefined range or threshold.

A system, comprising:

• a container having a top, a bottom opposite the top, a sidewall in between the top and the bottom, the container configured to hold a volume under a pressure;
• a delivery line coupled to an opening in the container that conveys the volume to a tap for dispensing of the volume;
• a glycol unit that refrigerates a portion of the delivery line;
• a sensor coupled to the container, the sensor tracks a temperature of the container, an amount of force taken by the container, and a light exposure to the container;
• a first sensing component configured to detect a first glycol temperature within a reservoir of the glycol unit;
• a second sensing component configured to detect a second glycol temperature at a location where the glycol exits the reservoir;
• a third sensing component to detect a third glycol temperature at a location where the glycol returns to the reservoir;
• a gateway device that wirelessly receives data from the sensor based on the sensor coming within a predefined distance of the gateway device, upon coming within the predefined distance, the sensor communicates a first data package that includes the temperature, the amount of impact, the light exposure and an identification of the sensor;
• the gateway device creates a second data package that includes a time stamp of when the first data package was communicated, an identification of the gateway device, and the first data package;
• a track component that receives the second data package and identifies a geographic location of the container and the temperature, the amount of force, the first glycol temperature, the second glycol temperature, the third glycol temperature, and the light exposure for at least one container;
• a device that is configured to communicate directly with at least one of the sensor or the gateway device to receive the first data package or the second data package respectively based upon the device communicating an authentication code that is verified by the track component;
• and
• the track component communicate a notification based on contents of the second data package and reference to a predefined threshold related to at least one of a temperature, an amount of force, a first glycol temperature, a second glycol temperature, a third glycol temperature, and a light exposure for the container.
