Temperature indicator

A temperature indicator, comprising:

• a housing having a support member containing a non-conductive malleable substance;
• a communication module;
• and
• switch circuitry including a switch element having at least a portion thereof disposed within the malleable substance and maintained in a biased position spaced apart from a conductive element by the malleable substance, and wherein responsive to the temperature indicator being subjected to a temperature exceeding a threshold, the portion overcomes the biasing of the malleable substance and contacts with the conductive element, and wherein the communication module is configured to indicate an activated state of the temperature indicator in response to the portion contacting the conductive element.

A temperature indicator, comprising:

• a housing having a temperature detection assembly including a malleable substance;
• an arming element configured to maintain the temperature detection assembly in an unarmed state;
• switch circuitry including a switch element at least partially disposed within the malleable substance and maintained in a biased position by the malleable substance;
• and
• a communication module coupled to the switch circuitry;
• and
• wherein removal of the arming element from the temperature indicator places the temperature detection assembly in an armed state, and where responsive to the temperature detection assembly being subjected to a temperature exceeding a threshold after being in the armed state, the switch element overcomes the biasing from the malleable substance and moves relative to a conductive element that causes a change in a value output by the communication module when activated based on the switch element either contacting the conductive element or disengaging from the conductive element.
