17 Claims

1. A temperature control system comprising:

temperature control hardware configured to control a temperature within a container; and

one or more processors coupled to a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

determine an operating parameter of a temperature control device based on historical data of an operating variable, the operating parameter comprising an upper time limit variable, the historical data of the operating variable comprising historical data of the temperature, and the current operating variable comprising the current temperature within the container, the operating parameter determined by:

accessing the historical data of the temperature;

determining a duration of a peak temperature cycle within the historical data of the temperature;

determining a selected time value based on the duration of the peak temperature cycle; and

updating an upper time limit variable with the selected time value;

monitor a current operating variable of the temperature; and

transmit a notification in response to detecting an abnormal event based on the current operating variable and the operating parameter.

13. A method of operating a temperature control system, the method comprising:

determining, via processing circuitry of the temperature control system, an operating parameter of a temperature control device based on historical data of an operating variable;

monitoring, via the processing circuitry, a current operating variable of the temperature control system; and

transmitting, via the processing circuitry, a notification in response to detecting an abnormal event based on the current operating variable and the operating parameters.
