Monitoring perishable items in humidity-controlled environments
An apparatus is described herein related to a humidity-controlled container for perishable items, configured to avoid spoilage by alerting a supervisor to hazardous conditions. Relevant changes in the container environment are detected through various sensors-based event detectors. A timer serves to trigger a plurality of distinct alert states, comprising pre-alerts and full alerts, following an event-initiated time threshold expiry. A data repository of generic merchandise data is accessed in order to derive suitable timer pre-sets in relation to time thresholds for alert states. An account configuration engine serves to customize the threshold presets to the specific items stored inside the container.

ZONE CONTROLLER AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING A ROOT CAUSE FAILURE
There is described a zone controller and method for identifying a root cause failure at a zone. The zone controller determines whether a temperature measurement deviates from a temperature setpoint of the temperature sensor, and generates a first repair code, a second repair code, and/or a third repair code. The first repair code replaces a temperature sensor in response to detecting that a reading of the temperature sensor has failed. The second repair code releases an operator override on the reading of the temperature sensor in response to detecting that the reading of the temperature sensor has been overridden. The third repair code releases an operator override on a setpoint of the temperature sensor in response to detecting that the setpoint of the temperature sensor is outside the predetermined setpoint range. One or more of these repair codes are provided to a remote device.
