Temperature and humidity are checked too late
Periodic inspection can miss a temperature or humidity change between visits.
Smart Cold Storage
Independent Single-Room Control, Cloud Management for Multiple Rooms
Y951 smart remote-control cabinets connect in-room monitoring points and refrigeration-support equipment while preserving local manual operation. Data, alarms and operating records from multiple cold rooms are brought together in the cloud.

Common Cold Storage Monitoring and Control Gaps
Cold rooms need visible conditions, controlled circuits and a clear response path when equipment or communication fails.
Each room runs as a separate island
Distributed cold rooms make it difficult to compare status, alarms and operating history from one place.
Manual switching leaves limited records
Without circuit status and operation history, teams cannot review what changed during an incident.
Network loss needs an explicit boundary
Cloud commands require a connection; local manual control and the recovery process must be defined for the site.
A Site-and-Cloud Architecture for Cold Rooms
Field sensors and equipment circuits connect to a Y951 control cabinet. Depending on the site, the cabinet can use 4G, Wi-Fi or RJ45 to send readings and receive approved commands through YenGear IoT Cloud.
One cabinet can operate a single cold room, while multiple cabinets can report to the same platform. Monitoring points, circuit count, control authority and offline behavior remain project decisions.
Deploy the System Around the Cold-Room Layout
Start with the room layout and equipment list, then verify control, communications and alarm behavior before expanding the deployment.
Map rooms and equipment
List cold rooms, temperature and humidity points, refrigeration equipment, fans, defrost circuits, lighting and auxiliary loads.
Confirm the control boundary
Define which circuits support local manual control, remote operation, schedules or rules, and which protections remain local.
Choose the connection method
Assess 4G, Wi-Fi or RJ45 against the room layout, cabinet location, power and network coverage.
Test alarms and recovery
Verify normal operation, threshold alarms, cabinet offline behavior, manual takeover and restoration before copying the configuration.
Cold Storage Monitoring, Control and Alarm Functions
Condition monitoring
View configured temperature, humidity, equipment and cabinet online status from the platform.
Circuit control
Operate compatible refrigeration, fan, defrost, lighting and auxiliary circuits after the electrical scope is confirmed.
Alarm handling
Send configured alerts for temperature limits, power events or cabinet offline status, with the response path agreed in the project.
Records and review
Use trends, alarm history and operation records to review room status and incident handling.
Products Used in This Architecture
Y951 provides the local circuit-control node. IoT Cloud provides the shared monitoring, alarm and record layer for connected rooms.

Cold Storage Deployment Questions
Confirm the room layout, loads, network and response requirements before selecting the control scope.
Can multiple cold rooms share one platform?
Yes. Each room can use its own connected control cabinet and report to the same YenGear IoT Cloud account. The final topology depends on room distribution, circuit count, network and power conditions.
What happens if the network connection drops?
The cabinet retains local manual operation. New cloud commands cannot arrive while the connection is down; any local automation, output state and recovery behavior must be designed and tested for the project.
Which circuits can the system control?
Compatible refrigeration, fan, defrost, lighting and auxiliary circuits can be evaluated. Confirm voltage, load, starting method, protection, feedback and manual-control requirements before selection.
Can the system send temperature and offline alarms?
It can send configured alarms for monitored conditions and cabinet status when the required sensors, connection and notification settings are available. Thresholds, recipients and acknowledgement rules are project settings.
What information should we provide for an assessment?
Provide the number and layout of rooms, monitoring points, equipment and circuit list, cabinet locations, power and network conditions, existing controls and the required alarm and response process.
