The Holtronic neo® Multi is the first electronic temperature and time indicator you can reset and reuse — up to 90 times per unit. Purpose-built for return-to-base cold chains, it delivers the same precision breach monitoring as a single-use device, at a fraction of the long-term cost.
For return-to-base supply chains— food service on transport, pharmaceutical distribution loops, reusable packaging — replacing an indicator after every single use adds cost, complexity and unnecessary waste. The neo® Multi was designed to solve exactly that.
The neo® Multi combines Holtronic’s proven electronic temperature and time indicator platform with a patented, tamper-proof reset mechanism.
The neo® Multi activates instantly with a single button press. Once started, it begins monitoring temperature and recording time immediately. No pairing, no apps, no infrastructure. Attach it to your product, pallet or package and it travels with the goods throughout the entire journey.
Its compact, lightweight, durable form factor means it can be affixed to even small individual products, not just bulk containers or outer cartons. This gives true product-level temperature visibility across your supply chain.

Every resettable indicator use cycle saves 5-90 temperature indicators from waste. For high-volume operations, the aggregate environmental impact of switching from single-use to the neo ®Multi is significant and documentable.
The Neo Multi is not a replacement for all single-use indicators — it is the right choice for specific operational contexts. Here is how it compares.
| Reusable Indicators | Single Use Indicators | |
|---|---|---|
Uses per unit | ✓ Up to 90 | 1 |
Cost per monitoring cycle | ✓ Significantly lower | Full unit cost each time |
Electronic waste | ✓ Up to 80% less | 1 unit per cycle |
Temperature or time monitoring | ✓ Both | ✓ Both |
LED visual alerts | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes |
Best for | Return-to-base chains | One-way shipments |
A reusable temperature indicator is an electronic device that monitors and records temperature conditions throughout a product’s journey, and can be reset and reused after each monitoring cycle.
The Holtronic resettable indicators can be reset up to 90 times using a dedicated proprietary reset unit, making it significantly more cost-effective and sustainable than single-use alternatives for return-to-base supply chains.
No — and this is by design. The Holtronic neo® Multi can only be reset using the dedicated Holtronic-supplied reset unit, which clips around the indicator and requires a deliberate 3-second button hold to complete the reset.
This prevents accidental resets and ensures that no one in the supply chain can tamper with or reset the indicator in the field, protecting the integrity of every temperature record.
However, the neo® Multi indicators can be reset and then not started until they are needed. This is perfect for applications where the user is not at the same location as deployment.
Yes. Custom variants of the Holtronic neo® Multi can be specified to address specific temperature and time monitoring requirements.
Standard models include configurations for above-5°C monitoring (with instant and 15-minute alarms) and above-8°C monitoring for food-served-on-the-move applications. Contact the Holtronic team to discuss your specific requirements.
Request samples of the Holtronic reusable indicators and test it in your own return-to-base supply chain — no commitment required. Our UK-based team is ready to discuss your specific monitoring requirements.
