There are numerous benefits to embracing the digitisation of systems and the use of real-time data monitoring, often associated with the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industry 4.0 revolution, ranging from the possibility of automated problem notification, automation of manual processes to the mining of the resulting data.
Commercial and industrial customers are often keen to leverage these new technologies and have a general wish list of what they want to achieve but without having a clear vision of the solution or the potential challenges faced.
In this case study, Industrial Data Xchange (IDX) assisted a biological sample storage facility by building a wireless freezer monitoring, alarming, and reporting solution, using industrial-grade hardware-to-user interface IoT systems.
