How MWI Transforms B2B Operations with an IoT-Based Temperature Monitoring Solution

A frequently encountered issue for many companies is the need to adhere to regulations. Most businesses must comply with standards set by regulatory bodies, which often include temperature monitoring. The reliance on manual temperature logging with pen and paper is becoming outdated, as companies increasingly turn to technology.

Another prevalent issue is the lack of alerts when equipment malfunctions. Companies that have experienced asset damage or loss due to equipment failure often seek a monitoring system from us that can remotely send alert notifications in the event of such failures.

To address these concerns, MWI required an IoT solution capable of providing real-time temperature monitoring and remote alert notifications to users.

MWI chose LoRaWAN for its IoT solution after thorough research and testing several technologies, including BLE and 433 MHz. LoRaWAN demonstrated superior performance and compatibility with the devices intended for use in the solution.

The RAK7268V2 LoRaWAN gateway is employed by MWI as the IoT gateway. The solution schematic shown above was chosen for its versatility and ease of deployment. It can support various industries with minor hardware adjustments. Key beneficiaries of this solution include the healthcare, hospitality, and food service industries.

This system is designed to monitor temperature in a range of applications, such as cold rooms, freezers, refrigerators, and other temperature-sensitive environments across various sectors. The temperature monitoring system includes wireless sensors for area-specific monitoring, a central unit for data reception and analysis, and a visualization platform. It can send alerts if temperatures deviate from a pre-set range, enabling swift action to protect sensitive products.

While primarily aimed at helping companies meet compliance requirements, such as government regulations, the product can also enhance operational productivity, thus boosting profits.

MWI provides comprehensive service, from on-site deployment and personalized dashboard provision to ongoing maintenance service.

MWI has deployed the LoRaWAN-based temperature monitoring system across multiple clients in different sectors, including healthcare, hospitality, and food services. This system delivers real-time temperature monitoring and alert notifications, assisting businesses in meeting compliance standards and preventing equipment failure. The competitive pricing, easy deployment, and technical support offered by WisGate Edge have helped MWI expand its customer base and services. The project has been successfully launched in Singapore, with numerous potential clients lined up.
