Our NSnappy-connected wireless self-measuring devices have been designed to endure subzero temperatures, impact, splashes and boiling hot food, for example. Read this article to learn more about our smart measuring devices that ensures reliable and easy self-monitoring of professional kitchens.

The many benefits of the NSnappy self-monitoring service are based on the wireless measuring devices connected to the service. Both the NSnappy cloud service and the measuring devices have been designed and manufactured in Finland. The needs and standards of today’s professional kitchens have been carefully taken into account in the design of all devices. We have been providing professional kitchens with high-quality and reliable measuring devices for over twenty years.

Storage measuring device monitors the temperature automatically

NSnappy Kide is a wireless measuring device designed to monitor the temperature of refrigeration equipment, including freezers, cold stores, display cabinets and drawers. The device measures the temperature of a piece of equipment constantly and generates real-time temperature data on NSnappy. Thanks to the smart wall mount, the device is easy to calibrate and, if necessary, replace. The collected measurement data remain on the wall mount, even if the measuring device is replaced. The sturdy case does not break easily.

Cooling measuring device monitors the food cooling process

The wireless NSnappy Cool cooling measuring device monitors the food cooling process by measuring the cooling temperature and time. The device can be used with all types of cooling cabinets and does not require separate installation. NSnappy Cool ensures that the quality, safety and shelf life of foodstuff are not compromised. The faster the cooling process, the longer the product’s shelf life. NSnappy Cool provides this data automatically.

NSnappy Cool comes with a holder that allows quick and easy fastening to the edge of the cooling dish. The probe is put in the food to measure the temperature. The device is switched on automatically when it is fastened and the probe is in the food. The measuring results are automatically sent to the NSnappy service.

Dishwashing measuring device monitors the temperature throughout the dishwashing process

The wireless NSnappy Wash was designed for the measurement of the temperature profiles of dishwashers. The device is extremely quick and easy to use, and it does not require separate installation. The device is placed inside the dishwasher basket and the basket is put in the dishwasher as usual. The device measures the water temperature accurately during the pre-wash, wash and rinse. The temperature data is sent automatically to the NSnappy service.

The wireless NSnappy Wash is designed for the measurement of the temperature profiles of dishwashers.
With a useful life of over five years, NSnappy Wash is waterproof (IP68) and resistant to strong chemicals.

Probe thermometer for quick measuring of internal food temperatures

NSnappy Sense is a quick and easy way to verify the internal temperature of foodstuff. The device is ideal for measuring e.g., serving, preparation and reception temperatures. The measuring device is fully integrated with the NSnappy service, which displays the measuring results in real time. The measuring results are easy and quick to save immediately. NSnappy Sense does not use Bluetooth technology, eliminating any mobile connection problems.

Surface hygiene meter provides measuring results in seconds

NSnappy Hygi is a wireless measuring device for surface hygiene measuring. It takes less than a minute to get the measuring results, allowing the user to react to below-standard hygiene results immediately. A surface hygiene sample is taken with an UltraSnap test swab. The test swab is then analyzed by NSnappy Hygi.

The device uses ATP (bioluminescence of adenosine triphosphate) identification technology to analyze the sample. ATP is present in all animal and plant materials. The results are very precise and accurate, and the UltraSnap test swabs collect even the smallest micro-organisms from the surface.

The saved results are sent automatically to the NSnappy service, in which the user can view them. The measuring results can be used to generate various reports and trend graphs.

Infrared thermometer is a quick delivery inspection tool

NSnappy Sense IR is an easy way to verify the temperature of products. The device is ideal for measuring the temperature of frozen goods upon delivery.

The infrared thermometer gives the result immediately. The device can also be used for recording the temperature of cold stores, if there is no automatic temperature monitoring system (NSnappy Kide). The device is fully integrated with the NSnappy service, which displays the measuring results in real time. The measuring results are easy and quick to save immediately. The device does not use Bluetooth technology, eliminating any mobile connection problems.

What is a base station and why is it necessary?

NSnappy Hub is a LoraWan base station that ensures that measuring data is sent to the NSnappy cloud service. The base station is necessary when using wireless measuring devices. Usually, one base station per location is enough. Our technicians ensure that the base station works and that there is enough reception.

All measuring devices are compatible with the NSnappy cloud service

NSnappy is the most comprehensive self-monitoring service for professional kitchens on the market, helping you monitor the level of food safety in the kitchen from load arrival to waste.

NSnappy digitalizes the self-monitoring and cleaning plan and related routine tasks. The service ensures that scheduled routine tasks are handled according to plan.

NSnappy digital service

In the NSnappy cloud service, users can view and analyze their data in real time. The service can also be used to generate various reports and user-specific views according to one’s user role.

The scalable service adapts to the self-monitoring needs of each business, so it is well suited to the needs of businesses of all sizes, from small cafés to chain restaurants.

Interfaces supporting integration with other systems

NSnappy is designed to support integration with different systems. Thanks to the REST API programming interface, the service can be integrated with other systems. In addition, NSnappy supports various different device interfaces and the collection of data directly from devices to the cloud service. Nokeval’s devices have been integrated with the service.

Any ordered devices are automatically moved to the customer’s device register, from where they can be retrieved and installed easily. The service is being constantly developed and it will enable SSO in the future.

High level of data security

NSnappy was built using Amazon AWS cloud services. Their continuous development and updates ensure high data security. The data saved in our service is always stored in the EU. Data is transferred using encrypted connections, ensuring the security of the data transferred between the user and the cloud service.
