PHILADELPHIA — March 7, 2023—MachineQ, a Comcast Company, and FusionPrep are teaming up to provide multi-unit restaurants with an IoT-backed temperature and humidity monitoring solution. This alliance allows FusionPrep to offer their customers access to temperature data to help them with food safety.
“MachineQ helps us bring tremendous value to our customers as more and more restaurants lean into IoT for back-of-house operations,” said Shawn Berg, Chief Technology Officer at FusionPrep. “We needed a reliable, ready-to-use sensor, and MachineQ’s enterprise grade hardware met those requirements. Plus, the added value is that they offer a full-stack solution, which made our decision to partner much easier. With the addition of their temperature and humidity monitoring solution, we can help our restauranteurs with their digital food temperature control efforts using IoT.”
MachineQ’s device-to-cloud offering includes the MQflex multi-sensor device, Area 8c indoor gateway, LoRaWAN® network, and API integration into FusionPrep’s training and food safety platform.
Steve Salata, vice president and general manager of MachineQ, adds, “FusionPrep is an exciting addition to the growing list of enterprise solution providers. Together, we can extend our reach to customers with multi-unit restaurants needing IoT.”
