Challenges

Before IOT-ezy, the team relied on manually reading the display temperatures on each fridge. This method was time-consuming and left gaps in data continuity, especially outside of working hours or during weekends.

This posed a considerable risk to patient samples and crucial consumables, many of which are highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Any deviation from the required temperature range could compromise the integrity, ultimately affecting the quality and reliability of the manufacturing process.

Recognizing the need for a more reliable and automated solution, the team implemented IOT-ezy Monitoring System. This system continuously monitors fridge temperatures and sends real-time alerts whenever readings fall outside of preset thresholds.

Solution

To address these challenges, Pathnova turned to the IOT-ezy Temperature Monitoring System, which quickly proved to be the reliable solution they needed. Unlike their previous system, IOT-ezy delivers accurate, real-time alerts without the frustration of false alarms. When a genuine issue arises, the system promptly notifies staff, ensuring immediate action can be taken to protect critical samples. With continuous monitoring, precise alerts, and detailed reporting, Pathnova regained confidence in their ability to safeguard valuable inventory around the clock.

Key Components of the Solution:

1. IOT Sensors

The IoT Sensors capture temperature data from the environment and transmits the data to the IoT Gateway.

2. IOT Gateway

The IoT Gateway collects data from sensors, processes it, and transmits it to a cloud platform for further analysis

3. IOTezy Dashboard

IOTezy Dashboard displays data collected and it provides an overview of temperature readings across various devices.

Benefits

1. Automated Reporting & Compliance:

IOT-ezy platform automatically records data and allows you to download the download. Pathnova is able to stay compliant with industry regulations without the burden of manual record keeping of multiple freezers. This simplifies audit process and improve documentation accuracy.

2. Easy Installation and Integration:

Easy installation minimizes downtime during setup. As a result, users can start collecting and acting on real-time data almost immediately, improving operational efficiency, responsiveness, and overall productivity. This enabled Pathnova to monitor critical assets more quickly, while the user-friendly platform made the process simple and efficient.

3. Real Time Alerts and Remote Monitoring:

IOT-ezy allowed Pathnova to stay continuously informed about the status of their critical assets, regardless of location. This capability enabled their team to respond immediately to any irregularities or potential issues, significantly reducing the risk of damage, downtime, or data loss. By eliminating the need for constant on-site checks, the system also improved operational efficiency and freed up valuable staff time for other priorities.

4. Cost Savings and Asset Protection:

IOT-ezy helps customers avoid financial losses by preventing damage to high-value assets such as medical samples, vaccines, or perishable goods. With real-time alerts and reliable monitoring, issues are detected early which reduces spoilage, minimize downtime, and protecting inventory, which translates into significant cost savings over time.

Outcome and Conclusion

With the implementation of IOT-ezy Monitoring System, Pathnova Laboratories has effectively addressed its previous monitoring challenges and enhanced operational efficiency. The solution comprises IoT temperature sensors, an IoT gateway, and the user-friendly IOT-ezy platform, allowing staff to receive timely alerts, monitor temperature trends in real time, and generate detailed compliance reports. Installation was quick and non-intrusive, thanks to wireless sensors that integrate seamlessly into existing lab equipment.

This automated monitoring system has freed up valuable time for Pathnova’s team to focus on core company functions, such as clinical diagnostics and manufacturing, while ensuring that temperature-sensitive samples and consumables remain continuously protected. The improved reliability and visibility have strengthened confidence in the lab’s processes, helping Pathnova maintain the highest standards of sample integrity, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance.
