Maximize Safety & Efficiency with Kewaunee's Lab Equipment Monitoring Solutions

In a precision lab environment, being without the right equipment or working in conditions for which the equipment wasn't intended can lead to expensive downtime, poor data generation, and even potentially hazardous situations. Hence, lab equipment monitoring is no longer a choice; it is a requirement. Kewaunee's innovative monitoring solutions will provide you with real-time visibility, automation, and predictive insights, while ensuring optimal performance and your complete satisfaction.

From a pharmaceutical cleanroom, a university lab, or a biotech manufacturing environment, our smart-monitoring ecosystem will guide you in maintaining compliance, being proactive, and staying in control of your equipment and environmental conditions.

Why Lab Equipment Monitoring Matters

Laboratories today rely on a diverse array of instruments—from incubators and freezers to centrifuges, biosafety cabinets, HVAC systems, and fume hoods. These sophisticated devices play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of experiments and ensuring a safe working environment. However, without continuous oversight, even minor fluctuations in temperature, humidity, pressure, or airflow can lead to major consequences: sample degradation, compromised data, equipment failure, safety breaches, or regulatory violations.

Kewaunee's Lab Equipment Monitoring System helps mitigate these risks by:

Providing 24/7 real-time data on critical lab parameters
Alerting lab personnel to anomalies or system failures
Ensuring optimal performance of every device, every time
Supporting compliance with global regulatory standards (GMP, GLP, ISO, NABL)
Automating data logging and reporting for audits and inspections
Improving response times and reducing human error with proactive alerts

By integrating IoT-enabled monitoring and advanced analytics, Kewaunee empowers labs to operate with greater confidence, consistency, and control, ensuring both productivity and compliance are never compromised.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Lab Equipment Monitoring?

Lab equipment monitoring involves real-time tracking of laboratory instruments and environmental conditions to ensure operational efficiency, safety, and compliance. It uses sensors, cloud dashboards, and alerts to prevent issues before they escalate.

How does Kewaunee's Lab Equipment Monitoring system work?

Our system uses IoT-based sensors connected to key lab equipment. Data is transmitted to a centralised platform, which triggers alerts when conditions exceed defined thresholds and maintains detailed records for audits.

Can I monitor equipment across multiple labs or sites?

Yes! Kewaunee's solution is fully scalable and supports the remote monitoring of multiple labs or buildings through a single, unified platform—perfect for institutions or global organizations.

Is the monitoring system compliant with regulatory requirements?

Absolutely. Our solution supports audit trails, data logging, and validation features that align with GMP, GLP, ISO 17025, and NABL compliance standards.

What types of equipment can be connected to Lab Equipment Monitoring?

Any device that has measurable parameters — including refrigerators, incubators, HVAC systems, fume hoods, and biosafety cabinets — can be monitored. Custom sensor integrations are also available to meet your specific needs.
