DescriptionLabWatch® IoT is a cloud-native facility and environment monitoring platform that provides real-time visibility and control of critical stability, environmental and facility parameters. Secure site-to-cloud connections (VPN and encrypted storage) continuously collect sensor data, detect alarm conditions, and route alerts to designated personnel to replace paper logs and manual retrieval.
OverviewThe platform delivers current alarm status, historical readings and trend analytics through a responsive web dashboard and mobile access. Users sign in with corporate credentials and optional multi-factor authentication (MFA). Built-in reporting produces audit-ready records automatically or on demand to support investigations and inspections.
Integration & hardwareLabWatch IoT integrates with Kaye NetPac II wired field modules and Kaye ValProbe® RM wireless loggers. ValProbe RM supports multiple sensors per base; NetPac II aggregates numerous inputs for larger installations. Devices transmit primary environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, etc.) securely to the LabWatch Cloud for centralized analysis and long-term storage.
