four zones · continuous monitoring.
Each zone of your branch has different risks. One platform covers all four. Your team operates everything from the web dashboard, the iOS and Android mobile app, or WhatsApp — whichever fits the role.
vaccine refrigerator
Dual measurement: ambient temperature sensor + product-representative temperature sensor (in glycol). Door-open sensor. Current meter on compressor. Leak sensor under the equipment.
medication freezer
At -20 °C: product temperature sensor + door-open sensor + current meter on compressor. Defrost/refreeze detection — unrecoverable for insulins and biologics.
general storage
Temperature + humidity sensor for NOM-072 compliance (>25 °C / >65 % RH are critical). In coastal zones (Veracruz, Cancún, Mérida), automatic dehumidifier activation.
energy + backup
Compressor baseline with current meter. Gateway with thirty-two-hour backup — the sensor network keeps reporting through a general area blackout.
Out of scope: POS · security cameras · inventory systems. AstreaIoT doesn't replace them; if your ERP needs the cold-chain data, we integrate it via Custom Integration.
what we protect · what we avoid.
- +More than two hundred thousand pesos saved per vaccine-refrigerator failure · the sensor costs a small fraction of the product it protects
- +NOM-059 PDF report in two clicks · 30 continuous days every 5 min for COFEPRIS audit
- +Gradual compressor degradation detected · 4-6 weeks before failure
- +Real-time informed decision during nighttime power outage: transfer product or wait
- +Automatic NOM-072 compliance in coastal zones (Veracruz · Cancún · Mérida)
- ✕Hundreds of thousands of pesos in biologics destroyed by one hour out of range
- ✕COFEPRIS fines + license suspension + sanction to the Responsable Sanitario's license card
- ✕Emergency compressor repair · several times the cost of preventive maintenance
- ✕Possible criminal investigation for nighttime-gap logbook
- ✕Test strips and powders lost to sustained coastal humidity
ten use cases · covered today.
three regulations · one platform covers all three.
If your branch is in a coastal zone, we automatically add dehumidifier activation when %RH crosses the NOM-072 threshold.
five phases · per branch.
branch site survey
1 dayTechnical visit + critical-equipment inventory + NOM-072 points identification + per-branch checklist.
physical install
2-3 daysSensors mounted on refrigerators + freezers + storage + backup gateway · minimal cabling.
configuration + calibration
1-2 daysNOM-072 + NOM-059 thresholds · calibrated probes verified · COFEPRIS report template ready.
team training
1 dayResponsable Sanitario + Branch Manager + Quality Director · each role trains on their flow.
30-day support + first audit
30 daysAstreaIoT specialist available · first NOM-059 monthly report delivered · escalation chain tuned to real operation.
For chain rollouts with hundreds or thousands of branches: after the first site, phases compact to 4-7 days per branch with weekly waves.
common questions · before the quote.
what happens if the branch's internet goes down?
The gateway has 32-hour backup and a local buffer. Sensors keep recording · everything syncs on reconnect. If the outage is prolonged, the cellular backup takes over automatically.
can it connect to old refrigerators?
Yes. The sensors are external and mount on any equipment · no need to replace the refrigerator. The glycol probe slides through the door seal without modification.
how long does a NOM-059 report take to assemble?
Two clicks. The system assembles it automatically with the selected 30 days, Responsable Sanitario's signature included. Print-ready or send-ready PDF in under a minute.
do I need my own internet connection?
Not required. The gateway uses the branch's WiFi when available (preferred for speed) · or the included cellular modem as backup. Works in branches without their own internet.
how are the sensors calibrated and how often?
At an accredited lab before deployment. Per-equipment vigency tracked in the dashboard. Recalibration every 12 months to meet NOM-164 · we run the calendar.
what happens if a branch closes or relocates?
We recover the equipment · no penalty, no de-installation fee. Sensors are designed to move · they can redeploy at the next branch with low friction.
does it integrate with the chain's ERP?
Yes · via Custom Integration. We connect to SAP, Microsip, Oracle, NetSuite, or a custom system. Operational costs and critical alerts arrive directly to your central system.
