While data centers have become quite expansive, many companies still house all or most of their IT infrastructure on-site. Some businesses choose to run and maintain their server rooms to keep in-house control over data, software and hardware, rather than handing it over to a commercial data center. Data center monitoring, therefore, is imperative to protect assets against unexpected events and fluctuating operating conditions.

Temperature monitoring is essential in the medical industry, which stores valuable vaccines, pharmaceuticals, and research samplescosting hundreds to thousands of dollars in refrigerators or freezers. Products maintained at inappropriate temperatures can deteriorate their potency, potentially causing serious issues such as rendering medications ineffective. NIST temperature sensors connected to remote monitoring systems provide the capability to track temperature changes in refrigerators and freezers to ensure product integrity.

Businesses across all sectors rely on consistent power to maintain operations. Unfortunately, power outages can occur unexpectedly, posing significant risks to critical assets, information and even lives.

Implementing a power failure alarm system can provide immediate alerts in the event of an outage, so you can take swift action to safeguard important inventory, data and property.

A well-thought-out maintenance strategy is essential for safeguarding a company's assets. As traditional reactive and preventive maintenance methods become outdated, predictive maintenance is gaining traction.

Environmental conditions can negatively affect the operations of different market sectors. Excessive humidity, for example, can create condensation that damages capital equipment while low humidity can generate electrostatic discharge that leads to system failures. Too high or low temperatures also can impact staff productivity and degrade machinery. A temperature and humidity sensor connected to a Sensaphone remote monitoring system can continuously monitor these and other critical conditions to avoid environmental threats.

Subzero cold fronts sweeping the nation necessitate vigilant management by greenhouse operators. This week alone, the National Weather Service reported storms and cold weather across much of the United States. When outside temperatures plunge, particularly after dusk, greenhouses risk becoming excessively cold. A rapid temperature drop can harm or even destroy plants within hours, adversely affecting yields. Employing a temp controlled greenhouse is crucial for achieving optimal plant and vegetable yield.Read on to learn more.

An RTD temperature sensor otherwise known as a resistive temperature detector probe often provides the most reliable temperature measurement when remotely monitoring extreme-temperature environments. Read on to learn more.

The Internet of Things (IoT) takes remote monitoring to the next level by allowing you to effortlessly oversee assets in real time using a computer, smartphone, or other Internet-connected device. So, what exactly is IoT remote monitoring?
