Collaboration produces nonobstrusive chill-measurement system
A five-year collaboration between a British food company and Scottish physics researchers has produced Celsius, an easy-to-use temperature-measurement device that can reduce packaging damage to finished goods.
More reliable than infrared and less destructive than thermocouple probes, Celsius applies technology developed for the medical field to accurately measure core temperatures of chilled foods. Hampshire, U.K.-based Loma Systems, a metal-detection firm with offices in Carol Stream, Ill., manufactures Celsius.
