IOT News

Regardless of whether it is in scientific research institutions, universities, or large enterprises, the construction scale and quantity of laboratories are continuously expanding, becoming increasingly important infrastructure for driving the development of new technologies and products.

 Laboratories typically house a variety of high-precision experimental equipment and materials. If these critical assets are not precisely and timely maintained and managed, it could impact experimental results. For instance, equipment failure downtime, material deterioration, fire hazards, etc., are all issues that laboratory management must strive to avoid. In response, WideIoT provides a laboratory IoT centralized monitoring and management system solution based on industrial intelligent gateways.

By integrating PLCs, instruments, sensors, and other devices through industrial intelligent gateways, the system achieves protocol conversion and data standardization processing.

 It facilitates seamless data exchange among applications such as laboratory environment monitoring, safety alerts, equipment management, and energy optimization, enabling comprehensive monitoring and centralized management of laboratories through a single platform. This enhances laboratory management levels and work efficiency while ensuring the safety and reliability of laboratory personnel and experimental quality.

Implemented Functions

1. Laboratory Environment Monitoring
   By integrating various environmental monitoring sensors, such as temperature and humidity sensors, light sensors, etc., the system continuously collects data on temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, VOCs, PM2.5/PM10, and special gases.

    It provides alerts via WeChat, SMS, email, and audible/visual signals, enabling rapid awareness of parameters in functional rooms, gas cylinder rooms, gas generation rooms, waste liquid collection rooms, and waste gas emission outlets.

2. Material Storage Monitoring
   Laboratory materials often have strict requirements for temperature, humidity, and light conditions.

    By integrating refrigeration equipment, the system monitors equipment operational status, process parameters, and runtime information in real-time. Automatic alerts are triggered in case of equipment failure, allowing timely measures to be taken to prevent material deterioration or damage.

3. Safety Monitoring and Management
   Experimental processes may involve high-pressure conditions, and any abnormalities can impact laboratory personnel and experimental quality.

    By integrating pressure gauges, smoke sensors, water immersion sensors, etc., the system monitors whether the laboratory is operating safely and automatically alerts in case of anomalies, enabling measures to be taken to prevent accidents from escalating.

4. Equipment Management and Energy Consumption Monitoring
   The system categorizes and manages monitored equipment, providing insights into the types, quantities, statuses, parameters, and energy consumption of equipment in various laboratories. It enables unified management, intelligent operation and maintenance, and data analysis, optimizing resource allocation, improving energy efficiency, and reducing laboratory operational costs.
