Do you work in a sector that requires the handling and storage of temperature-sensitive products and samples? Then you will likely be in the market for a temperature monitoring system. Picking the right monitoring system for your organisation can be a struggle if you aren't sure what your options are, especially if you have industry regulations to consider. As a laboratory monitoring solutions provider, we understand this struggle so we have written this article to help you find the right monitoring solution for you.
What is a temperature monitoring system?
A temperature monitoring system is a solution (made up of sensors, data loggers and user interfaces) that can monitor the temperature inside product and sample storage areas or equipment. This system helps keep storage areas and equipment at the right temperature to protect your products and samples from damage. While temperature monitoring can be carried out manually, an automated system is the preferred solution for organisations that store temperature-sensitive products and samples, thanks to their efficiency and reliability.
Why do you need a temperature monitoring system?
Working with temperature-sensitive products and samples can be stressful, given how quickly a product can be compromised or damaged due to being stored outside its set parameters. Installing an automated temperature monitoring system is the best way to ensure they remain safeguarded against temperature excursions.
As far as temperature monitoring systems go, there are 3 types: wired, wireless and hybrid. At Contronics, our temperature monitoring solution, ProLog Enterprise can come in all these formats. Let's dive into what benefits each system can bring to the table.
Contronics ProLog Enterprise Systems
All our systems are designed with reliability and system resilience in mind. Our wired, wireless, and hybrid systems are all backed up with uninterruptible power sources (UPS) to ensure continuous monitoring in the event of a loss of connectivity.
The Wired ProLog Enterprise Temperature Monitoring System could be the best monitoring system for your organisation if you need your system to stay in one particular place or if your laboratory or storage area has sufficient infrastructure to support a wired setup.
The Wireless ProLog Enterprise Temperature Monitoring System is perfect for setups where flexibility is needed. It’s a cheaper and more flexible alternative to the wired system, making it a practical choice for many organisations who are on a budget or may need to relocate the system.
The Hybrid ProLog Enterprise Temperature Monitoring System combines the benefits of both wired and wireless systems. This ensures your monitoring system remains reliable and flexible, providing constant monitoring for your products and samples.
With these three options to choose from, finding the right monitoring system for your organisation has never been simpler. However, we appreciate that these kinds of decisions are best made well-thought so feel free to get in touch with a member of our team who will walk you through which system is best for you.
