The ZS300 Sensor is a Bluetooth-enabled wireless device designed to monitor temperature-sensitive products during shipping and storage. With its small footprint, the ZS300 fits conveniently inside many types of product packaging, containers, and equipment where it tracks temperature according to parameters that you can define for your specific needs.
The ZS300 Sensor records ambient temperature at regular intervals and stores the information in its memory. The ZS300 is designed to be a reusable device over the duration of its 12-month battery operated life, but can also apply to single-use applications as well. The battery in the sensor is not replaceable. By using the sensor with specially designed companion products, users can benefit from a flexible temperature monitoring solution that adapts to many usage scenarios, from low volume to very high volume needs. With this solution, you can keep track of critical temperature information wirelessly without having to open any containers.
The sensor works in conjunction with the ZB200 Bridge, which is typically placed at a central location in a storage or shipping facility. The bridge automatically collects data via Bluetooth when it detects sensors within wireless range. Data is then pushed to the Zebra Savanna Cloud where it can be accessed and analyzed online; for example temperature, location, and other key events.
Additionally, by implementing the Sensor Discovery Service for Android (ZSFinder), a mobile device can act as a mobile bridge to upload the data to the Zebra Savanna Cloud. In either case of upload via bridge or mobile device, the solution will be able to provide near real-time alerts for any temperature excursion.
The core behind the ZS300 solution is the software ecosystem. Software vendors working with Zebra have developed software platforms to maximize the visibility to conditions and alarms within shipping and storage processes. Through the use of the Zebra Developer Tools which utilize a set of APIs, and the Android Sensor Discovery Service, their software solutions allow the ZS300 to seamlessly integrate into your workflow, processes and systems of record. This is all supported by the Zebra Savanna Cloud which provides the data storage for all the data generated by the sensors.
