Abstract: A method comprising obtaining a desired storage criterion for each of a plurality of products, the desired storage criteria including at least one condition, the at least one condition including a product temperature range; based on the product temperature range setting for each product at least one alert temperature range; calculating a current temperature of each of the plurality of products located in a compartment at a current time; calculating future temperatures of each of the plurality of products at a plurality of future times based on the current temperatures and expected changes between the current time and the plurality of future times; and for each of the plurality of products raising an alert if the current or calculated future temperature exceeds the product temperature range for that product.
