Startup Stories - Abid Khan
Startup Stories - Thermalog
Join us for Startup Stories featuring Abid Khan, founder of Thermalog!
Abid Khan, University of Newcastle alumnus, is revolutionising temperature monitoring systems across Australia.
With constant threats of financial penalties, stock losses, and poor food handling practices looming over businesses, Abid created Thermalog's automated temperature monitoring system to help companies stay compliant with government regulations. His vision: to eliminate guesswork from temperature monitoring and provide businesses with reliable, real-time data.
Thermalog is more than just a product—it's a comprehensive solution that addresses the two-hour/four-hour rule, prevents stock losses through pre-spoilage alerts, and monitors estimated bacterial growth. Through ready-to-use, self-installable, and low-cost wireless sensors, Abid is helping businesses save time, money, and prevent potential losses with customisable alerts via text, email, or audio/visual alarms.
Learn about the unique challenges Abid faced, from hardware development hurdles to securing funding and building a strong team, and gain valuable insights into deeptech innovation and the focus on sustainability in today's startup landscape.
