Smart temperature logger and cloud platform for automating temperature logging

A cloud platform for automating temperature logging of food in food containers, comprising:

• a cloud server that performs a method comprising:
• receiving logging requirements and a container mapping from a corporate entity;
• generating instructions based on the logging requirements, wherein the instructions include thresholds based on rates of change of temperature measurements associated with specific food items;
• sending the instructions and the mapping to a temperature logger;
• receiving measurement data from the temperature logger;
• comparing the received measurement data to the logging requirements;
• and
• generating a notification to the corporate entity.

A temperature logger comprising:

• a temperature probe;
• a display configured to provide a graphical user interface;
• a memory storage housing a plurality of thresholds associated with a plurality of food items and a mapping of the plurality of food items;
• and
• a hardware-based processor,
• wherein the temperature logger is configured to:
• confirm on the display that a first temperature measurement meets a first of the plurality of thresholds;
• automatically prompt a user to obtain a second temperature measurement;
• and
• transmit an electronic file to a server, the electronic file including data associated with the first and second temperature measurements.
