tempoguided
Tempoguided is a term used to describe an approach in which decisions or actions are guided by the combination of temperature measurements and timing information. In practice, tempoguided systems track the thermal history of a process and use that history to determine when to adjust operating conditions, verifying that a target temperature–time profile is met. The concept is applied in fields where the duration and degree of heating or cooling influence outcomes, such as food processing, medical therapy, and manufacturing.
Implementation relies on sensors and data processing. Temperature sensors (thermocouples, RTDs, infrared devices) collect data that
Applications include pasteurization and sterilization in food safety, where microbial kill depends on time–temperature history; thermal
Limitations include sensor placement and lag between measurement and action, calibration requirements, and integration costs. The
