Sonicu innovates to serve the commercial refrigeration and cold chain industries while expanding flexibility for highly regulated healthcare and life science customers

Sonicu is launching a new low-cost, battery-powered temperature and humidity sensor designed for simple deployment to better serve the commercial refrigeration and cold chain industries. 

Sonicu, which serves hundreds of customers across a diverse range of industries with its robust suite of temperature and environmental sensors coupled with its monitoring platform, is now selling the S-Series sensor via its direct sales team and channel partners.

Leveraging the industry-leading SoniCloud web-based monitoring platform and mobile application, the S-Series sensor delivers increased flexibility, scalability and affordability for professionals seeking superior asset protection and compliance automation. 

The new S-Series sensor features: 

  • Wireless temperature and humidity sensor 
  • Industry-leading transmission range and battery life
  • App-based implementation wizard for simple DIY installation and deployment
  • Receive personal alerts via app, email, text and phone calls
  • SoniCloud web-based dashboard allows for remote access anywhere
  • IP-67 Rated: ideal for cold storage environments
  • Available with NIST Certification for compliance readiness

Each S-Series sensor will connect wirelessly to a central hub without complex configuration needed by on-site installation technicians, including the ability to connect up to 500 sensors to a single hub. 

“Designed to be stocked by Sonic'us national network of channel partners and to be installed and configured in minutes, the S-Series sensor combines the best-in-class software Sonicu users rely on to protect their assets and automate compliance with the sort of hub and spoke wireless deployment that can make covering a warehouse, grocery store or sprawling university facility with affordable sensors simple,” said Joe Mundell, Chief Revenue Officer, Sonicu. 

“This sensor shares the same Sonicu DNA of every sensor we’ve deployed: rugged, reliable and hand-crafted to serve our exacting customers. We’re excited to help more customers in new industries enjoy the power of simple and affordable temperature and environmental monitoring.”

Based on the growing demand, Sonicu has developed this lower-cost sensor that can be deployed in minutes and is an ideal monitoring solution for the following industries: 

  • Retail food and grocery stores 
  • Warehouse and distribution facilities 
  • Data centers and server rooms 
  • K-12 Student Nutrition and cafeterias 
  • Law enforcement & evidence storage facilities 

“The S-Series is designed with channel partners in mind,” Mundell said. “With its simple installation and low-cost structure, channel partners will be able to stock and deploy these sensors and hubs to virtually any environment knowing they will be supported by Sonicu’s U.S.-based robust customer support.”

The sensor can be tailored to transmit conditions in variable intervals based on customer need. Sonicu offers three variable software tiers for satisfying varying levels of compliance requirements. 

The S-Series temperature and humidity sensor is the first in a series of new sensors from Sonicu that promises a new wave of growth and opportunity, including another S-Series sensor that will include CO2 monitoring under development. 

These follow the introduction of the incubator sensor designed for the rapidly growing life science sector as well as the SoniShield View in-room display deployed in scores of cleanrooms nationwide. 

“We’re committed to innovation that delivers value for our customers and helps them perform better in their demanding roles,” said Jason Young, Chief Technology Officer, Sonicu. 

 

These sensors add to a full suite of digital temperature and environmental sensors and probes that range from ULT and Cryo to high heat monitoring and include air pressure differential and humidity. 

They also add to the diverse suite of third-party sensors that leverage the SoniCloud monitoring application via a universal adapter, including refrigerant leak monitoring, light and occupancy detection, door close sensor and water (leak) detection. 

“We’re focused on building the most robust and flexible monitoring application available anywhere,” Young said. 

“Our continued rapid growth highlighted by new clients in diverse and demanding industries and being named a Schneider Technology Partner highlights our strength and continued growth opportunities.”
