Environmental monitoring alerts (temperature, humidity for sensitive products)

Purpose

1.1. Ensure storage conditions (temperature, humidity) for agrochemicals meet safety and efficacy standards.
1.2. Automatically alert responsible staff before thresholds are exceeded to prevent spoilage or legal violations.
1.3. Integrate real-time environmental data with supply chain oversight for granular asset protection.
1.4. Maintain full regulatory compliance and reduce manual monitoring labor by continuous digital surveillance.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Sensor detects temperature or humidity value outside user-defined safe range.
2.2. Scheduled interval checks compare environmental logs against allowed parameters.
2.3. System receives sudden sensor loss or malfunction status update.
