Food Manufacturer Compliance Monitoring

Your auditor asked for corrective action records. Your quality team spent two days pulling them together.

Geigyr installs wireless temperature sensors across your cold storage, frozen storage, and receiving areas. When a threshold is breached, the system alerts your team, captures the corrective action, routes it to your PCQI for review, and generates the compliance report your auditor expects. We install and manage the monitoring and the documentation chain as a service.

What you actually see

Your facility, on your phone. Compliance documentation that builds itself.

Every sensor reading is logged. When something drifts out of range, the alert tells your team which zone, what the reading is, and how long it has been off. The corrective action form is linked directly in the notification. Your PCQI reviews and signs off from their own device.

The problems your quality team already knows about

These show up in every audit. The question is whether the documentation is ready.

The overnight excursion nobody documented

Cold storage drifts above 41°F at 2 a.m. The compressor recovers by morning. Your data logger recorded it, but nobody saw it, nobody evaluated the product, and there is no corrective action on file. The excursion shows up in your records with no response attached.

The corrective action that lives on paper

An operator catches a freezer alarm, moves product, and writes it up on a paper form. The form goes in a binder. Three months later, your auditor asks for it. Maybe it is there. Maybe the handwriting is legible. Maybe the product disposition is documented. Maybe not.

The PCQI review backlog

Your PCQI is supposed to review monitoring and corrective action records within seven working days. They are also managing supplier approvals, environmental monitoring, and the next customer audit. The review backlog grows. During an FDA inspection, the investigator asks to see timely review records. The gap is visible.

The audit preparation scramble

An SQF or BRC audit is scheduled. Your quality team spends a week pulling temperature logs from data loggers, cross-referencing excursion events with corrective action binders, and formatting everything into a presentable package. The data exists, but assembling it into audit-ready documentation is manual work that happens every time.

The system you outgrew

You bought standalone data loggers five years ago. They record temperatures. Nobody downloads the data regularly. When someone does, it is a CSV with no context. No excursion events flagged, no corrective actions linked, no PCQI sign-off. The monitoring exists but the documentation chain does not.

The gap between monitoring and compliance

You have sensors. You have temperature data. What you do not have is an automated path from "threshold breached" to "corrective action documented" to "PCQI reviewed" to "audit-ready report generated." That path is manual, and every manual step is a place where documentation falls through.

How it works

Sensors, alerts, corrective actions, and compliance records. One system, fully managed.

We install the hardware

Wireless temperature sensors go in your cold storage, frozen storage, receiving dock, and processing areas. A cellular gateway connects them to the platform. No dependency on your facility network. One site visit for installation.

Your monitoring is live

Every zone reports continuous temperature readings. Your quality team sees real-time status and historical trends from any phone, tablet, or computer. Each reading is logged and retained.

Excursions are detected automatically

When a temperature crosses your defined threshold, the system creates a timestamped excursion record: which zone, what temperature, when it started. When the zone recovers, the record is updated with end time, duration, and peak temperature.

Corrective actions are captured at the point of response

The person who responds receives a link to a corrective action form. The form captures the four elements required by 21 CFR 117.150: problem identification, immediate correction, steps to reduce recurrence, and a food safety evaluation with product disposition.

PCQI review is routed and tracked

After a corrective action is submitted, your PCQI receives a notification with a link to review the record. The review is timestamped. Your seven-working-day review window per 21 CFR 117.165(a)(4) is tracked per record.

Compliance reports generate on demand

One button produces a report covering any date range you specify. Monitoring data per zone, excursion events, corrective action records, PCQI review status, and a compliance summary. Formatted for FSPCA preventive controls worksheet conventions.

The records your auditor expects

The compliance report.

The report covers a date range you choose and includes everything an FDA investigator or third-party auditor asks for in a preventive controls inspection: continuous monitoring data per zone, excursion events with start and end timestamps, corrective action records meeting 21 CFR 117.150 requirements, PCQI review status per 21 CFR 117.165, and a compliance summary.

Records are retained for a minimum of two years per 21 CFR 117.315 and are retrievable within 24 hours. Electronic records accessed from your facility satisfy the "onsite" requirement under 117.315(c).

What is behind it

The automation behind your compliance reports. We build and maintain it. You never touch it.

The corrective action workflow, the PCQI notification routing, the excursion record linkage, and the compliance report generation are all managed automation. When a threshold is breached, the system creates the excursion record, sends the alert, captures the corrective action, notifies the PCQI, and makes the data available for reporting.

This is what we operate as a service. You see the dashboard and the compliance reports. We maintain everything behind them.

What we monitor

Starts with cold storage. Covers every zone your food safety plan requires.

Same gateway, same platform. Sensor types are added as your monitoring scope expands.

Cold storage and frozen storage

Continuous temperature readings. Alerts when cold storage exceeds 41°F (5°C) or frozen storage exceeds 0°F (-18°C). Thresholds are configured to match the critical limits in your food safety plan.

Receiving dock

Temperature monitoring during receiving. Catches product accepted above safe holding temperatures. Configurable thresholds per your receiving SOP.

Door state monitoring

Alerts when cold storage or freezer doors are left open beyond a defined duration. Correlates with temperature excursions to distinguish equipment failures from operational causes.

Processing and holding areas

Temperature and humidity monitoring for processing environments, hot holding, and cold holding areas. Zone definitions and thresholds match your HACCP plan.

Expandable

The platform supports additional sensor types as your monitoring requirements grow: humidity, differential pressure, CO2, equipment power draw, leak detection. Same gateway, same dashboard, same compliance reporting.

Already have monitoring hardware in place? If your existing sensors support modern integration protocols, we can work with your current infrastructure and add the compliance documentation layer on top.

Why Geigyr

Why Geigyr.

A service, not a project.

You get continuous monitoring, automated compliance documentation, and ongoing support. Not a one-time installation and an invoice.

Industrial hardware, cellular backhaul.

LoRaWAN sensors and a cellular gateway. Does not depend on your facility WiFi or IT network. Survives network outages.

Built for your auditor, not your IT department.

The system produces the documentation your quality team needs for FDA inspections, SQF audits, and BRC audits. The output is structured for people trained on FSPCA preventive controls worksheets.

Local to central New Jersey.

We serve NJ, NY, and CT. We install on site. We answer the phone. The person who installs your system is the person who supports it.

Your records, always accessible.

All monitoring data, excursion records, corrective actions, and compliance reports are stored electronically and accessible from your facility. Records are retained for a minimum of two years per 21 CFR 117.315 and retrievable within 24 hours for official review.

Your people make the food safety decisions.

The system captures corrective actions, routes PCQI reviews, and generates compliance reports. It does not evaluate product safety, determine disposition, or make food safety judgments. Those decisions belong to your trained personnel. The documentation chain runs on rule-based workflows. No interpretive models, no generated content in your compliance records.
