You can have the best ingredients, a perfectly developed recipe, and a well-trained team – but if your oven environment isn’t controlled, even your most reliable products can become inconsistent. That’s why real-time temperature and humidity monitoring for commercial bakery ovens in Toshima, Japan from Reading Thermal is such a game-changer.
We’ve developed tools like the SCORPION® 2 Data Logger and the SCORPION® 2 Digital Humidity Sensor to give commercial bakeries that real-time visibility they need to stay ahead. When you can measure what’s happening in the oven at every stage, you’re empowered to produce consistently excellent baked goods – batch after batch.
Catch Problems Before They Cost You
Real-time monitoring is like having eyes inside your oven. Instead of waiting until the bake is over to find out something went wrong, you can identify issues while your product is still in the oven. This can be a lifesaver if, for example, one zone in your tunnel oven is running too cool or the humidity spikes unexpectedly. Without monitoring, these problems might not show up until your product exits the oven underbaked, overbaked, or uneven.
By using the SCORPION® 2 system to track temperature and humidity in real time, you can prevent quality defects before they turn into product waste. And since you’re seeing the data live, you can react immediately – adjusting oven settings, airflow or bake time as needed.
Improve Product Consistency and Quality
In commercial baking, customers expect every loaf, cookie or cracker to look and taste just like the last one. That kind of consistency doesn’t happen by accident – it requires control over every part of the baking process. Real-time temperature and humidity monitoring ensures that you’re creating the same conditions every time.
With the SCORPION® 2 system, you get detailed thermal profiles that track temperature, heat flux, air velocity, and moisture throughout the bake. This allows you to maintain the ideal conditions for critical events like starch gelatinization, protein denaturation, and crust formation. When temperature and humidity stay in the target range, your products turn out just the way you planned—time after time.
Ensure Food Safety with Kill-Step Validation
In today’s regulatory environment, food safety is more important than ever. One of the critical benchmarks in baking is the kill-step – the point where harmful pathogens are destroyed by heat. To meet food safety standards, you must prove that your process consistently reaches the temperatures and dwell times necessary for microbial elimination.
Real-time monitoring provides the data you need to validate your kill-step reliably. The SCORPION® 2 system records internal product temperatures using Product Probes, while the Humidity Sensor tracks the oven’s moisture levels. Together, they give you everything you need to demonstrate that your baking process meets safety requirements – every time.
Optimize Energy Efficiency
Running a commercial oven is energy-intensive. But when you’re equipped with real-time monitoring, you can use your data to identify where you might be using more energy than necessary. For example, if a specific zone is consistently overheating, you may be able to dial it back without compromising product quality. Or, if humidity levels are too high and prolonging bake times, you can adjust ventilation to reduce overall energy consumption.
Over time, these small adjustments add up to significant savings. And since the SCORPION® 2 makes it easy to review historical data, you can track the impact of changes and fine-tune your oven performance for maximum efficiency.
