AutoSense — Touchless Core Temperature Sensing for QFM

Patented · QFM Accessory

AutoSense

Touchless internal-case core temperature sensing. AutoSense knows when your pallets are done — and tells you, automatically.

Stop Guessing. Start Measuring.

For decades, blast-cell operators have over-cycled to be safe. AutoSense changes the math.

Touchless

No probes. No contact.

AutoSense reads the internal core temperature of your case product without ever touching it. No insertion, no withdrawal, no sanitation hassle, no broken probes.

Automatic

Knows when it’s done.

When the core hits target, AutoSense tells the QFM dashboard. Your team gets the alert. The cycle ends. The next pallet starts. No more clock-watching.

Productive

Maximizes turns.

Stop running cycles longer than they need to be. AutoSense lets every QFM unit work to its actual capacity — more pallets, same equipment, same shift.

How AutoSense Pays for Itself

More pallets per shift

If you’re running cycles 30 minutes long for safety, AutoSense reclaims that time on every cycle, every unit, every day.

Lower energy per pallet

Shorter cycles mean less fan run-time and less compressor load.

Better product quality

Hitting the target temperature precisely — not over-shooting it — protects case integrity and product appearance.

Documented compliance

Every cycle’s core temperature is logged to the QFM dashboard. Audit trail built in.

Freezing applications today. AutoSense is currently designed for blast freezing cycles — tempering and warming support is not yet available. Talk to engineering about your application.

Bring AutoSense to Your Facility

AutoSense retrofits onto existing QFM units and ships standard on new installs. Talk to engineering about adding it to your operation.

Common Questions About AutoSense

Touchless core-temperature sensing for QFM — answered.

How does AutoSense measure internal pallet temperature without touching the product?
AutoSense is a patented touchless sensing system that determines when the internal case core temperature has been achieved. There are no probes inserted into product, no sanitation steps between cycles, and no broken probes to replace.
Does AutoSense work with all product types?
AutoSense is designed for cased palletized product typical in cold-storage and food-processing operations. Talk to QuickFreeze engineering about your specific product mix.
Can I retrofit AutoSense to existing QFM units?
Yes. AutoSense retrofits to existing QFM installations and ships standard on new orders.
How does AutoSense affect cycle time?
Most operators run cycles longer than necessary to be safe. AutoSense ends each cycle at the moment core temperature is achieved, reclaiming that buffer on every cycle, on every unit, every day. The result is more pallets per shift at the same equipment count.
Where is the AutoSense data logged?
Every cycle’s core-temperature data is logged to the QFM Dashboard, providing a built-in audit trail for food-safety compliance and customer reporting.
