Temperature monitoring system LabWatch® IoT

pressurehumidityflow

Description
The Kaye LabWatch IoT cloud-based environmental and facility monitoring system provides continuous monitoring, alarm management and compliant data archiving for laboratories, warehouses, biobanks and production sites. The system connects sites via secure VPN, detects alarm conditions in real time, alerts personnel through configurable notification channels, and stores monitored values securely in the cloud for reporting and regulatory documentation. Web browser and mobile access with Multi‑Factor Authentication enable remote review of live sensor data, alarm status and historical records. The solution scales from single-site deployments to multi-site/global installations and integrates with Kaye Netpac II and Kaye RF ValProbe for wired and wireless data collection.
