Research, Design & Manufacture
From the research process up to the time of sale, the pharmaceutical community spends countless hours, even years, researching, designing and manufacturing innovative medications. The efforts put forth to develop new drugs and bring them to testing and approval costs more than just the time and energy put into this process. It takes the patience and dedication of those involved, working to protect the integrity of the medication and their workplace.
This requires monitoring of various areas throughout the facility where the medication is being produced, stored and transferred. Typically, this involves an employee stepping away from their integral research to manually record temperatures and conditions for records and documentation. To maintain compliance and meet regulatory standards, these records must be kept consistently and accurately. Proper documentation ensures the safety and integrity of the manufactured products, and missing an outage or incorrectly documenting data could mean the difference between a safe product and product loss.
Safe products are handled and stored properly throughout the entire process, from the time of research up to the time they are placed on pharmacy shelves for members of our communities. To protect the integrity of these products and preserve the time and effort companies and personnel put into them, measures should be taken to ensure proper handling and storage in pharmaceutical facilities.
A Partnership in Efficiency
Immediate. Flexible. Complete.
To maintain efficiency, we begin with a 24/7 continuous monitoring system complete with immediate alert notification via e-mail, text or phone. This means a member of the team gets notified the moment a system enters into alarm, granting them time to properly address the situation, and react in a manner that saves the product involved. No more manual checks for temperature readings or the possibility of missing an outage. The automated system will continually monitor this information for you and alert you in real-time through the software located on your computer system.
Whether you have a few refrigerators or hundreds, no two facilities are identical, and customization is the key to ensuring your continuous monitoring system is where you need it, when you need it. For this reason, alerting can be varied by department, piece of equipment, time of day, day of the week, condition parameters, delivery method and escalation protocols.
The flexibility and scalability of the system means that it can monitor any location, from cold storage to incubators, in any size facility. From a small, single facility, up to a complex, multi-location facility, your continuous monitoring system can adapt and grow as you do. With the option to function as a standalone system or a fully networked environment that can simultaneously monitor hundreds of appliances, you do not need to worry when it comes time to add refrigerators, freezers, or other appliances in your facility. The system has unlimited capacity, making it easy to adjust to where you are and what you need.
The pharmaceutical community, companies and personnel dedicate years of time and effort to the research and manufacturing of medications. Let a continuous monitoring system look after the products for you, driving efficiency in your facility at every stage.

Customer Testimonials
“Just wanted to let you know that things went very smoothly with the install. All of the equipment arrived on time. Staff arrive on time and were well prepared/knowledgeable. I know it was not an easy task to make that happen with the last minute issues, but I wanted to thank you all for your work in coordinating and supporting us. It certainly helped make opening a new facility quite a bit easier”
Solutions for Maintaining Compliance with the New CDC Vaccine Requirements
Vaccines are critical tools in maintaining the health of our communities. The logistics of delivering vaccines and verifying that they consistently maintain their recommended temperature has always been a difficult task. At times, vaccines were found being stored outside of the manufacturer’s recommended range. Prolonged temperature excursions can result in the vaccines becoming…
