Kellogg's®
How do you know if your waffles are really frozen? Kellogg's created an ingenious solution to monitor the cold chain process of their Eggo® frozen waffles. At the manufacturing site, a special model c\temp dsc (-40C) was placed into selected boxes of the waffles with a recording duration of 180 days. Each box that contained the c\temp had instructions on returning the unit back to Kellogg's for a cash rebate as well as coupons for other Kellogg's products. Upon receipt of the c\temps, temperature profiles were created that were analyzed to show the shipping temperatures from manufacturing site to warehouse to supermarket to customer. Return of the units average over 90%. Quality was assured.

Pepsi-Cola®
How do you know if your soft drink tastes the same in India? Pepsi-Cola has manufacturing plants in various countries around the world. In order to maintain consistency of color, flavor and taste, Pepsi ships a "gold" standard to each bottling facility in which the local product is compared to the U.S. product. In order to ensure the "gold" standard was not subjected to temperature fluctuations, Pepsi utilized the c\temp (-29C) to monitor the shipments. Quality was assured.

MKK Constructors
How do you know your $70 million dollar concrete pour is the correct temperature in 0 degree weather? MKK is an engineering and construction company formed by a joint venture between Washington Group International (formerly Morrison Knudsen Corporation), and Kiewit Western Company. Construction of the I-25 interchange is a combined project with the Northwest Parkway Authority of Colorado. When completed, the $1.3 billion E-470 toll road will run 47 miles along the eastern perimeter of the Denver area. During the winter of 2001, MKK began pouring the concrete for the I-25 interchange. MKK used multiple echo data loggers (-29C) with SP16 probes that were inserted within tubes in the concrete to monitor the temperature as it was poured. Quality was assured.
