UST develops IoT solution for retail grocer Mydin

Bengaluru, Sept 29: UST has developed and installed a Cold Truth temperature-tracking solution for Mydin to monitor interior temperature levels at one of their hypermarkets in Penang outlet’s refrigeration units.

UST is a leading digital transformation solutions company and Mydin is one of Malaysia’s leading halal grocery chains.

The solution has successfully helped Mydin reduce the risk of food spoilage to deliver more consistent quality to customers and has led to improvements in the completeness and simplicity of the grocer’s regulatory reporting and compliance.

UST Cold Truth solution is a state-of-the-art, cloud-based advanced temperature monitoring solution that intelligently detects temperature fluctuations and sends an alert for quick action.

It offers great savings on products for retailers that would otherwise be discarded due to temperature fluctuation or freezer failure.

“We chose to work with UST because they are experts in retail technology and business operations,” Mydin Northern Region Executive Director Azmin Bin Saduruddin said.

“As a global corporation, UST can provide Mydin with the service we need as a leading retailer in Malaysia,” he said.

The solution also records temperature readings of all refrigeration units throughout the day.

The data is retained in the cloud, ready to be retrieved and communicated on-demand to Malaysia’s governmental health inspectors and auditors.

“UST offers a variety of cutting-edge retail solutions to our clients across the world. We have products that are custom designed for multiple customers, and our enterprise products are gaining huge popularity.

Intel provided a great selection of hardware and software platforms, as well as engineering support during the development phase,” UST Emerging Digital Technology General Manager Subhodip Bandyopadhyay said.

Since the company launched UST Cold Truth, its inclusion as an Intel IoT Market Ready Solution has helped it to communicate the benefits of its product to a wider audience, he said.

UST plans to expand the solution beyond retail stores to any venue or industry where temperature monitoring is a business-critical aspect of the operation.
