TPS and AppBlocks® for Restaurant Automation

Maintaining safe temperatures in refrigerators, freezers, and pantries is critical to preventing spoilage and complying with regulations. TPS is a modular solution that works with many different sensor types from Tibbo and other manufacturers, including 1-wire, Single-wire, I2C, or Modbus devices. Real-time temperature logs and automated notifications ensure any deviation is caught before it affects food safety. AppBlocks offers a straightforward graphical interface so operators can create and deploy these monitoring routines without a programming background.

Effective temperature management extends beyond just observation, especially in climate-controlled areas like wine cellars or preparation zones. Using discrete, analog, Modbus, or infrared connections, TPS devices can interface with HVAC systems and other cooling or heating equipment. This versatile approach lets you fine-tune various parameters for optimal energy use and comfort. With AppBlocks, even first-time users can build custom closed-loop control flows, eliminating the need for extensive software expertise.

High humidity levels can promote bacteria, mold, and fungus, leading to potential health risks and accelerated spoilage. Connecting Tibbo or third-party humidity sensors allows real-time alerts to be generated before minor moisture issues escalate. Restaurant managers can keep the environment safe and in compliance with local rules. AppBlocks simplifies building these alert mechanisms, enabling anyone to configure sensor-based events without writing a single line of code.

Proper air quality ensures a pleasant dining atmosphere and a safer workspace for staff. TPS supports straightforward integration with various CO2 sensors. When CO2 levels approach thresholds, TPS can automatically trigger ventilation systems. Thanks to AppBlocks' simple diagram-building approach, business owners can set up these automated responses quickly, with zero traditional programming required.

Leaks from old pipes or malfunctioning equipment can cause expensive damage if not detected promptly. TPS devices, equipped with water sensors or flood detectors (from Tibbo or third parties), allow for real-time alerts that can avert costly downtime and health hazards. AppBlocks makes creating a custom leak detection workflow easy by letting operators visually design how notifications and actions should occur, again avoiding any need for coding experience.

Keeping track of entry points for walk-in coolers, storage rooms, and other restricted areas is not just about security but also about preventing potential health code problems and monetary losses caused by doors being left open. Being able to track these entry points is often a prerequisite for insurers too. Managers can immediately see all ingress activities by linking door sensors to TPS hardware. Through AppBlocks' intuitive interface, operators can configure a wide range of alerts and schedules for these sensors, even if they are new to automation technologies and have never coded before.

Securing sensitive areas, such as offices and equipment rooms is crucial for operational stability and theft prevention. TPS can form a dependable access control system that tracks who enters and when. AppBlocks provides a user-friendly environment for creating the required authorization logic so owners can set up card-based security protocols without specialized software training. The platform can also accommodate unique and custom scenarios, like temporary access for outside maintenance crews or special rules for off-peak hours.
