M.O.L.E.® EV6 Delivers Handheld Thermal Profiling Control, Freeing Bakery Operators from Time-consuming, Offline PC Downloads.

March 1, 2023 – Previewed to a select audience at last year’s International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE), ECD’s M.O.L.E.® EV6 touchscreen thermal profiler is now commercially available, the company announced today. The market’s first traveling thermal profiler with operation via a capacitive touchscreen, M.O.L.E. EV6 offers a user-friendly, intuitive design engineered to save baking professionals time, simplify data viewing and analysis, and improve productivity. Thermal profiling as a routine practice helps bakers ensure consistent quality and high product yields. With M.O.L.E. EV6, the already simple — but critical — thermal profiling process becomes even more straightforward and less time-constrained.

“Touchscreen control for instrumentation tools is now expected,” says ECD Baking Product Manager, Ray Pearce. “However, it is not ubiquitous. ECD is among the first to break this barrier, helping baking professionals improve processes with instantaneous access to data that enables on-the-fly decision-making for process and product optimization. It’s a game-changer.”

With conventional thermal profiler designs, users must program, download data, and interpret results via a PC interface. In addition, the control buttons on some thermal profilers can be ambiguous and confusing, leading to errors, erased profiles, and other efficiency-killing events if operators are poorly-trained. M.O.L.E. EV6 helps prevent these situations, allowing viewing and interaction with process calculation templates, profile viewing, and pass/fail analysis on the device.

“Productivity and repeatable quality output are the keys to bakery profitability,” says Pearce. “M.O.L.E. EV6 saves time on the line, reduces required training resources, and enables analysis on the production floor for instantaneous product quality and system performance oversight. Prioritizing cost-efficiency, ECD has designed M.O.L.E. EV6 to be practical and affordable with features like an off-the-shelf lithium-polymer battery, wireless Bluetooth operation, and built-in maintenance reminders.

The new thermal profiler integrates with popular ECD baking equipment verification tools and baked goods sensors, CakeOMETER™, BreadOMETER®, VaporWATCH® and OvenBALANCER™. Shipments begin April 1st.

ECD BakeWATCH® to Showcase New Cake and Bread Sensor Designs, Preview Radically Different Profiling Technology at IBIE 2022

Show Delegates to get a First-hand look at CakeOMETER™ for Cake-Baking Precision, BreadOMETER’s® Enhanced Durability Design and Pre-Launch Version of Reimagined Baking Profiler and Software

August 8, 2022–ECD BakeWATCH® will highlight a suite of new products from booth #5723 at the upcoming International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE), held from September 18 to 22 in Las Vegas, Nevada. With a broad portfolio of baking tools to accurately establish, measure and verify oven and product thermal parameters, ECD BakeWATCH’s platform approach delivers a scalable solution for baked goods perfection and consistency.

The company’s recently launched CakeOMETER™, a first-of-its-kind cake-baking measurement device, enables accurate temperature sensor placement and stability within cake batter. The unique design allows cake bakeries to generate reliable in-oven temperature data for high-quality, repeatable cake production. IBIE will mark the North American debut of CakeOMETER, enabling event visitors to see the tool and its versatility in person.

Also on show is ECD BakeWATCH’s standard-setting S-Curve-management BreadOMETER® sensor, which measures temperature at five dough depths for maximum baking optimization. The system has recently been redesigned for improved durability and precision: An advanced ambient sensor for more realistic oven temperature measurements, more substantial stainless-steel construction and a reinforced cable combine to make the new BreadOMETER more reliable, robust and accurate.

Finally, at the heart of ECD BakeWATCH’s offer is the M.O.L.E.® thermal profiler and its accompanying software, which have undergone recent redesigns. The high-performance M.O.L.E. data logger, which seamlessly integrates with CakeOMETER and BreadOMETER, ensures the establishment of optimal oven temperatures, records baked goods’ thermal transformation and provides ongoing confirmation of in-specification oven performance to ensure high-yield outcomes. On a first-come, first-served basis, ECD BakeWATCH booth visitors can preview a new M.O.L.E. design in combination with baking-specific software updates, both of which will be commercially available later this year.
