Temperature Monitoring Software
Healthcare facilities, research labs, and cold warehouses all have something in common, the need to consistently keep their supplies and critical assets at the right temperature.
In fact, maintaining the correct temperature is fundamental to some of the most important supplies these facilities produce, use, and store.
Without an accurate temperature monitor, critical supplies such as vaccines, plasma, and perishable products can spoil and need to be thrown out.
This can result in not only the loss of thousands of dollars but the potential that customers and patients will not be able to get what they need.
An effective temperature monitoring device and system in place can save these essential facilities from these dangers.
While a temperature monitor device is a critical piece of hardware, it should be used in conjunction with software and processes for the most comprehensive benefits.
This way, a temperature monitor can track the temperature of the room or warehouse, then communicate with the temperature monitoring software to automatically upload temperature information into the Cloud.
To avoid losing supplies due to temperature-control failures, it is vital to have a consistent and constant temperature report so that you can catch problems early on.
This kind of software can keep you notified of temperatures during a power outage so you can take the appropriate steps to prevent loss.
Temperature can be a difficult thing to control, but with comprehensive temperature monitoring software, you can always be sure that you know what is going on in your temperature-controlled room, piece of equipment, or warehouse.
Sonicu’s Wireless Temperature Monitoring software is an automated tool that can help with ensuring your supplies are kept at a consistent temperature.
With automatic reporting, constant data capture, and flexible transmission, the best temperature monitoring software can ensure the temperature is right for your needs.
Room Temperature Monitor
A primary tool for temperature monitoring that is used by nearly every business, consumer, and healthcare provider is a room thermometer. Nowhere is this tool more important than in temperature-controlled rooms for healthcare, science, labs, and food supplies.
These tools are essential when storing supplies that require a certain temperature, but they are not the same as a room temperature monitor. With a thermometer, you can read the temperature and manually record it, but it cannot alert you when the temperature changes.
A room temperature monitoring system, however, can fix the problem of manual temperature records.
With the combination of a wireless meter and Cloud-based software, a monitoring system can automate the temperature monitoring process as well as send alerts whenever the temperature fluctuates.
This means that the temperature in a room can be tracked remotely and you never have to worry about power outages or other issues affecting the supplies.
The wireless temperature monitoring software from Sonicu is an example of a room temperature monitor that enhances an ordinary thermometer by combining it with automated technology.

Wi-Fi Temperature Sensor
One of the simple tools that can be used for temperature monitoring is a Wi-Fi temperature sensor.
This tool is a Wi-Fi-enhanced room thermometer that can track the temperature in a room and send an alert to a device. As with other Wi-Fi-enabled devices that are labeled as smart, this kind of device is sometimes called a smart temperature sensor.
These simple tools are available online and are a simple way to track the temperature of a room.
However, these devices require Wi-Fi to work properly. This means that they are ineffective if the Wi-Fi is disabled or if a power outage occurs.
Most of the time, these tools would work for temperature monitoring, but in an emergency such as a power outage, they would be useless.
The time when temperature monitoring matters most is when something happens to affect the temperature and the supplies. If a temperature sensor does not work then, it is not an effective tool, which is why it should have several transmission signals.
These tools also often have the capability to sense the humidity in a room.
A Wi-Fi temperature and humidity sensor might be a useful tool for homes, but for healthcare facilities, food warehouses, and scientific research labs, it is vital to have a more reliable system for monitoring the temperature.
Sonicu’s temperature monitoring system has the ability to use several transmission signals even when the Wi-Fi goes out. These include cellular and via Ethernet.
This multiple layers of connectivity is part of Sonicu’s commitment to redundancy across our platform, which also includes battery backup for power and DataSync that continues to capture data even during power or connectivity interruptions.
Remote Temperature Monitoring System
Often, it will be necessary for the temperature in a room to be monitored remotely. There may be times when an employee will not be present on-site and cannot manually monitor the temperature in the room or warehouse.
In this case, it is important to have a reliable remote temperature monitoring system. Knowing how to check room temperature remotely begins with understanding that there is no single method for remote monitoring.
Remote temperature monitoring systems can work in a variety of ways.
The most common transmission method for remote temperature monitoring is Wi-Fi. This method is popular but is not the best choice for rural areas or places prone to power outages.
Some systems will use radio frequency or cellular networks instead.
The issue with these single-transmission systems is that if the transmission method fails due to a power outage or weather conditions, then the entire system fails and there is no way to monitor the temperature of the room or of a cold/frozen storage unit.
The best remote temperature monitoring system will use a combination of all of these transmission methods so that if one fails, another can be used.
Sonicu’s remote temperature monitoring system can use 4G cellular, radio, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet so that the temperature can be monitored remotely and reliably.
Temperature Monitoring System
If you have supplies that require temperature-controlled storage, the best way to monitor the temperature of that room is with a temperature monitoring system.
Unlike a tool or device, a system is a group of devices and programs that work together for a specific purpose.
In the case of temperature monitoring, a system usually consists of a room thermometer, software, and an application.
A temperature monitoring app like SoniCloud will be able to connect to the thermometer wirelessly so that you can monitor the temperature with a mobile device such as a smartphone.
Instead of having to purchase a thermometer and software separately, a temperature monitoring software system provides these tools in one.
Additionally, since a system’s devices and software were made to work together, this makes them secure, reliable, and easy to implement. A temperature monitoring system will also make it easy to monitor several rooms with one software.
With an automated monitoring system, healthcare facilities, pharmacies, university laboratories, and food warehouses can easily track temperatures, keep reports, and receive alerts so that they can stay compliant with regulations.
The temperature monitoring system from Sonicu also provides detailed reports of system operations so that you can know that it is working correctly.

Wireless Temperature Monitoring System
A wireless temperature monitoring system can monitor the temperatures in multiple rooms without having to wire each sensor to an instrument panel.
Years ago, any device connected to another had to be connected through wiring. This is why there used to be entire rooms full of miscellaneous wires.
Now, with advances in technology, there are ways to eliminate those wires and connect devices in a clean and easy way.
Wi-Fi is one way to connect a system together, and a Wi-Fi temperature monitor can be a great way to monitor the temperature in multiple rooms and/or locations, with just one software or app.
Another way to connect a temperature monitoring system wirelessly is through Bluetooth technology. Unlike Wi-Fi, Bluetooth is not affected by power outages or weather conditions. This means that it is a reliable connection method and it is easy to connect several sensors to one app or software.
Best Remote Temperature Monitor
It is easy to find a list of remote temperature monitors and providers, but it may be difficult to determine which is the best.
Some monitors might be affordable and simple to use, like a Wi-Fi-only device, but they may not be reliable. Others might be expensive and overly complex for your needs.
The best remote temperature monitor is one that is easy to implement, reliable in any situation, and uses automation technology for reports and compliance.
Being able to monitor the records of temperatures in a room or warehouse over time is important. A temperature monitoring device with a digital data logger automates the temperature reporting process and stores the data in the Cloud so that you can access it easily.
Keeping track of these temperatures is essential when it comes to staying compliant with USP-NF and WHO guidelines.
Sonicu’s wireless temperature monitoring system uses Bluetooth for ease of setup, several transmission signals for maximum reliability, and DataSync capture for consistent temperature reports.
With the right temperature monitoring software, it can be easy to know supplies are maintained at the right temperature.
