Meraki MT11 Temperature sensor

The Cisco Meraki MT11 is a wireless temperature sensor designed to provide real-time monitoring and data collection of critical temperature conditions, particularly in cold chain and refrigeration environments. Part of the Meraki MT sensor family, the MT11 helps businesses ensure compliance, prevent spoilage, and avoid costly equipment failures by continuously tracking temperature levels.

The MT11 is ideal for industries such as retail, healthcare, and food services, where maintaining optimal refrigeration conditions is critical. The sensor connects seamlessly via Bluetooth to Meraki MR access points and MV smart cameras, eliminating the need for a separate gateway, and can be managed through the Meraki Dashboard for centralized control. Its ability to monitor temperature conditions in real time and provide customizable alerts allows businesses to mitigate risks quickly, reducing downtime and product loss.

The MT11 offers multiple temperature probe options, including bare metal and glycol-encased probes, which provide flexibility in deployment for different use cases. With cloud-based management, it ensures continuous data logging, even in the event of a network outage, and can be configured to send alerts via email, SMS, or push notifications. The long battery life, up to five years, and secure Bluetooth communication make it an efficient and reliable tool for businesses that need to monitor temperature-sensitive environments.

Benefits to Your Business

The Cisco Meraki MT11 temperature sensor provides businesses with comprehensive insight into their environmental conditions, allowing them to maintain equipment integrity and ensure compliance with industry regulations. By providing continuous real-time temperature monitoring, the MT11 helps businesses prevent costly downtime and product loss due to equipment failure or refrigeration malfunctions. For industries such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and food storage, maintaining precise temperature ranges is critical, and the MT11 delivers the accuracy needed to keep operations running smoothly.

Through the Meraki Dashboard, businesses can easily manage multiple MT11 sensors across various locations, providing a single-pane-of-glass visibility over their entire network. The wireless design reduces installation costs, while the customizable alerts ensure timely responses to temperature fluctuations. This cloud-managed solution also eliminates the need for on-site servers, offering significant savings in operational and infrastructure costs.

The MT11 also enhances regulatory compliance by keeping accurate logs of environmental data and making it easier for businesses to demonstrate compliance with cold chain regulations. With its flexible installation options, the MT11 is scalable, making it suitable for both small businesses and large enterprises with distributed sites.
