Note: All notifications for actions on alarms must be documented in e-mail
between the supplier, QSCC, Wendy’s QA and Distribution Center.
The device will begin recording information in SensiWatch Tracks immediately upon
activation and will stop recording when the GEO tracker detects both a light spike and
destination ping for 30 minutes. In addition, if a monitor remains at the DC (geographic
final destination) for 48 hours and does not register light, it will automatically arrive the
shipment.

perature abuse signs and non -destructive temperatures to determine if there are any
concerns:

Concerns are present - advance to step 3.
Step 3 – Confirm: Take destructive temperatures of the product at 6 different loca-
tions of the trailer to include front, middle and back locations.
Take photos of the thermometer in product while taking the temperatures.
If the internal (destructive) temperatures are with-in the acceptable tem-
perature range and/or the product or packaging shows no signs of
temperature abuse – accept the load
