Temperature & Humidity Monitoring for Fresh Produce in Transit

Produce needs more than temperature

Fruit and vegetables respond to both heat and humidity. Too warm and ripening accelerates; too dry and weight and quality are lost. Monitoring only temperature misses half the picture — and that half decides whether your shipment arrives marketable.

The right monitors

• **TempChrome Elite TH** — multi-use temperature & humidity logger with a replaceable CR2450 battery, LCD display and up to 6 programmable alarms
• **TempTale® Ultra Humidity** — validated USB monitor combining temperature and relative humidity sensing with a NIST traceable certificate and automatic PDF report

What to monitor on a produce lane

• **Temperature** within the recommended storage band for the specific commodity
• **Relative humidity** — many fresh products need 85–95% RH to avoid shrivel and quality loss
• **Condensation and airflow** — poor packaging causes localized humidity spikes even when the average is fine
• **Transit duration** — longer lanes need multi-use, reconfigurable monitors or higher capacity single-use devices

Choosing for your operation

• Reusable fleet or returnable packaging → **TempChrome Elite TH** (battery replaceable, reusable)
• Validated reporting with automatic PDFs for destinations without software → **TempTale® Ultra Humidity**
• High-volume single-use lanes → **TempChrome E-10 / C1 / 5T** for temperature-only, or Elite TH where humidity matters
