DTI research and development grant to investigate bi-directional communication with a view to development of a wire-free environmental monitoring and control system
Monitherm currently manufactures and sells a wireless temperature monitoring system aimed at monitoring laboratory equipment that is used for critical functions, ie, specimen storage, cell culture, blood storage.
This system can also monitor atmospheric oxygen levels, CO2, relative humidity and differential pressure. It gives fully traceable logs and will alarm both on and off site if levels go outside user-defined limits.
New software allows read only access to the database over a local area network allowing any PC on the network to view real time graphs and to print out max/min graphical reports, tabular reports or alarm generation reports for any time period.
It even allows VPN access from remote locations.
The grant will allow Monitherm to develop a product that will open up wireless technology and the benefits of flexibility, minimal disruption and installation costs to many other markets where monitoring and control is required.
