TRAXX Scan analyzes temperature data from your existing monitoring system to generate a TRAXX Health Score for each freezer. confirm your freezer is on our supported models list below, then export your temperature data as a CSV file in one of two accepted timestamp formats.

This guide walks you through the process step by step.

What Your Need

Temperature data from your monitoring system (at least one weekend of 1-minute readings per freezer)
Microsoft Excel, Google sheets, or any spreadsheet application
The exported file saved as a .csv (comma-separated values) file

Accepted Timestamp Formats

TRAXX Scan accepts CSV files with two columns — timestamp and temperature reading — one pair per row, with no header row. Temperature values should be numeric (float/decimal). Timestamps must be in one of these two formats:

Format	Example Row	What It Looks Like
ISO 8601	2026-01-23T20:07:05Z,-65.06	Year-Month-Day with time and timezone (Z = UTC)
Unix/POSIX	1769198825,-65.06	A large number (seconds since Jan 1, 1970)

OPTION A (RECOMMENDED)

Convert to ISO 8601

If your exported data has a date/time column in a standard format (e.g., 1/23/2026 8:07:05 PM or 2026-01-23 20:07:05), follow these steps to convert it to ISO 8601.

Using Microsoft Excel:

Step 1: Open your exported data file in Excel.

Step 2: Identify the columns. You should have a date/time column (e.g., Column A) and a temperature column (e.g., Column B). If your file has header rows or extra columns, delete them. The final CSV should contain only these two columns with no headers.

Step 3: In a new column (e.g., Column C), enter this formula to convert the date/time to ISO 8601:

=TEXT(A2,"yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss") & "Z"

This produces:

2026-01-23T20:07:05Z

Important: The "Z" at the end indicates UTC time. If your monitoring system exports in local time, you may need to adjust. Contact your system administrator or KLATU support if you are unsure.

Step 4: Copy Column C and Paste as Values (right-click → Paste Special → Values) to replace the formula with plain text.

Step 5 : Delete the original date/time column (Column A). You should now have two columns: the ISO 8601 timestamp and the temperature reading.

Step 6 : Save As → choose CSV (Comma delimited) (*.csv) as the file type. Click Yes if Excel warns about features not supported in CSV.

Step 7: Open the saved CSV in a text editor (e.g., Notepad) to verify it looks like this:

2026-01-23T20:07:05Z, -65.06
2026-01-23T20:08:05Z, -65.29
2026-01-23T20:09:05Z, -65.41

Using Google Sheets:

Follow the same steps as Excel above. The formula is identical:

=TEXT(A2,"yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss") & "Z"

To export: File → Download → Comma-separated values (.csv).

OPTION B

Convert to Unix/POSIX Timestamp

Unix timestamps represent the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 (UTC). This format is useful if your BMS system already exports numeric timestamps.

Using Microsoft Excel

Step 1: In a new column, enter this formula:

=INT((A2-DATE(1970,1,1))*86400)

This converts a standard Excel date/time to seconds since the Unix epoch.

Step 2: Copy the column and Paste as Values.

Step 3: Delete the original date/time column, leaving only the Unix timestamp and temperature columns.

Step 4: Save As CSV. Verify the result looks like:

1769198825,-65.06
1769198885,-65.29
1769198945,-65.41

Note: This formula assumes your Excel date/time values are in UTC. If they are in local time, subtract your UTC offset in hours.For example, for US Eastern (UTC−5):

=INT((A2-DATE(1970,1,1))*86400) - 5*3600

Exporting data

From Common Monitoring Systems

Below are general directions for exporting temperature data from monitoring systems commonly used with TRAXX Scan. Consult your system’s documentation or administrator for specific steps.

Reese Scientific

Log in to the Rees web portal or Centeron software.
Navigate to the sensor/probe for the target freezer.
Select the date range (at minimum, one full weekend: Friday evening through Monday morning).
Export the data as CSV. Rees typically exports with a date/time column and a reading column.
Open in Excel and follow Option A or B above to convert the timestamp format.

Thermo Fisher Smart-Vue

Open the Smart-Vue desktop or web application.
Select the sensor associated with the freezer.
Set the date range and choose a 1-minute data interval.
Export to CSV or Excel.
Open in Excel and convert timestamps using Option A or B above.

ELPRO

Open elproMONITOR or your ELPRO cloud dashboard.
Navigate to the measurement point for the target freezer.
Select the date range and export as CSV.
ELPRO may export in ISO-like formats. Verify the timestamp matches one of the two accepted formats, and adjust if needed using the Excel steps above.

Traceable (TraceableLIVE)

Log in to TraceableLIVE.
Select the probe/sensor for the freezer.
Export the data log for the desired date range as CSV.
Open in Excel, remove any header rows, and convert timestamps using Option A or B above.

OSIsoft PI (Pi DataLink / Pi Vision)

Use PI DataLink in Excel: Insert → PI DataLink → Compressed Data.
Enter the PI tag for the freezer’s temperature sensor.
Set the date range and a 1-minute interval.
The data will populate directly in Excel. Convert timestamps using Option A or B above and save as CSV.

TRAXX AI Models Are Designed for the Aging Global Cold-Storage Fleet

TRAXX Scan targets cold-storage systems older than five years, which account for 75% to 90% of failure risk and maintenance costs across a typical fleet. No additional hardware required. Just temperature data from your existing monitoring system.
