Case Studies
Haw Par Healthcare
This case study highlights the implementation of our IoT temperature monitoring system at Haw Par Healthcare, a leading healthcare company specializing in development and manufacture of health and wellness products. The system was adopted to ensure precise and continuous monitoring of temperature-sensitive products in the lab where temperature stability is crucial for maintaining the integrity of samples.
Company Profile
Haw Par Corporation Limited is a Singapore-grown multinational group. With a diverse product portfolio including fever patches, mosquito repellents, and topical lotions, Haw Par Healthcare is committed to ensuring the highest standards of product quality.
Challenges
As part of Haw Par Healthcare’s ongoing commitment to product excellence, maintaining precise control over the temperature conditions of sensitive products is crucial.
Any deviation from the set temperature parameters, especially during non-working hours, can jeopardize the integrity of products, leading to significant financial loss and regulatory non-compliance.
The QC team recognized the need for a reliable, real-time solution to monitor critical samples with minimal manual intervention. This initiative aligns with the company’s broader commitment to innovation and continuous improvement in product quality and operational efficiency.
Solution
To address these challenges, Haw Par Healthcare turned to IOTezy’s IoT Temperature Monitoring System. The solution was designed to provide continuous temperature monitoring with immediate alerts for deviations, ensuring that any potential issues are detected and addressed promptly, whether staff is on-site or not.
Key Components of the Solution:
IoT Sensor
These sensors were placed in incubators, where temperature regulation is critical. The wireless sensors are capable of withstanding high temperatures, making them ideal.
IoT Gateway
The gateway plays a crucial role in facilitating continuous and seamless transmission of data to the cloud. This setup enables efficient and reliable real-time temperature monitoring.
Monitoring Dashboard
The cloud-based dashboard enables users to remotely view temperature trends, receive alerts when parameters are breached, and download detailed reports on temperature fluctuations.
Benefits
1. Real-Time Alerts and Remote Monitoring:
Haw Par Healthcare’s QC team can now monitor temperature data remotely through the IOTezy dashboard. Any deviation from the set parameters triggers an instant alert, allowing for a prompt response.
The real-time visibility of temperature data ensures that samples remain within the required range, preventing false positives/negatives or invalid test results.
2. Increased Operational Efficiency and Compliance:
The IoT monitoring system enhances compliance with regulatory standards, including GMP, by ensuring continuous monitoring and real-time logging of any temperature deviations.
With fewer manual checks, their QC staff can focus on more critical tasks, improving productivity and operational efficiency across the organization.
3. Cost Savings and Waste Prevention:
Early detection of temperature deviations allows for corrective actions before materials or test runs are compromised. This intervention reduces the risk of sample spoilage by enabling quicker responses.
Accurate monitoring and early alerts reduce the risk of significant damage, ensuring valuable samples are protected from potential harm.
4. Seamless Integration and Hassle-Free Installation
IOTezy’s solution is quick to install, requiring minimal disruption to ongoing operations. The wireless sensors are easy to place, and the system requires little on-site intervention.
Integration with the cloud ensures secure data storage, with easy remote access to temperature data, which enhances convenience for teams working in different locations.
Outcome and Conclusion
Since implementing the IOTezy Monitoring System in the QC lab, Haw Par Healthcare has experienced significant improvements in operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and product quality assurance. The system has provided added assurance that temperature-sensitive samples in the QC lab are constantly monitored and that any potential issues are addressed before they escalate into costly problems.
By leveraging IoT technology, Haw Par Healthcare has gained confidence in its ability to safeguard the integrity of its QC lab samples. This initiative reflects the company’s commitment to continuous innovation and operational excellence, ensuring that all products meet the highest standards of quality and compliance.
The IOTezy Temperature Monitoring System has proven to be a valuable tool for the QC lab, ensuring that they can maintain control over its critical temperature-sensitive samples. With continuous monitoring, real-time alerts, and automated reporting, the QC team is well-equipped to mitigate risks, enhance operational efficiency, and protect valuable samples from potential harm.
This innovative solution not only supports Haw Par’s quality control processes but also highlights the collaboration between Haw Par and IOTezy, driving both companies’ shared commitment to operational innovation and product safety, as we continue to explore IoT technology to enhance their QC operations.
