How IoT Temperature And Humidity Monitoring System Works
IoT temperature and humidity monitoring system is fully automated - no manual labor is needed.
How To Set Up IoT Conditions Monitoring
You can implement IoT temperature and humidity monitoring in four easy steps:
1. Install IoT Sensors In Zones You Want To Monitor
Wireless IoT sensors measure temperature and humidity at pre-set time intervals, and send data to an IoT gateway.
2. Install IoT Gateways To Collect Data
One IoT gateway can collect data from multiple sensors.
A gateway filters sensor data based on pre-set rules, and sends data to the
back end cloud software or a local server.
3. Review Digital Logs Via A Cloud Software Web Interface
A cloud software processes data from an IoT gateway
and creates digital data logs that you can view and download remotely from anywhere.
4. Set And Receive Alerts
Receive instant alerts if conditions go outside of pre-set temperature and humidity range.
Combine Temperature And Humidity Monitoring With Inventory Management
IoT temperature and humidity monitoring system is a part of a
QR Inventory software. A QR Inventory system
tracks inventory and assets locations and movements, and links this data to the IoT sensors measurements.
In a stand alone temperature monitoring system, you know the temperature for each monitored zone, but not what was stored in this zone at any given time.
A QR Inventory system knows assets and inventory locations and movements history, and has temperature and humidity logs for each zone.
Combining this data, a QR Inventory software can provide temperature and humidity logs
for each asset or inventory batch, not just for the zone where an IoT sensor is installed.
Components Of The IoT Temperature And Humidity Monitoring System
Temperature and humidity monitoring system consists of three components.
Bluetooth Temperature And Humidity Sensor
A
BLE sensor is a wireless, easy to install
device which is operated on the battery.
It measures temperature and humidity at pre-set time intervals,
and sends data to the IoT gateway. The data can be sent either through an advertisement, or via a BLE connection link.
The values are also logged internally on the sensor. If a connection between the IoT gateway and the sensor is interrupted for any reason
the data are preserved and can be retrieved later.
When adding sensor
to the IoT monitoring system you can specify a temperature and humidity step at which data
should be logged. This allows you to reduce data load on the network and only send data when there is a
meaningful change. You can also set acceptable min and max values for each monitored zone,
and receive alerts if conditions go outside of pre-set values range.
You can find more information on the BLE temperature and humidity sensor for the IoT conditions monitoring
here.
Bluetooth IoT Gateway
A
Bluetooth IoT gateway
reads data from the connected temperature and humidity sensors. The gateway pre-processes, filters and batches data,
and sends data to the cloud software for the storage and reporting.
One IoT gateway can read data from multiple IoT sensors at the same time.
You can log into the gateway locally to set up the edge data processing rules.
If your local network allows it you can also set up IoT gateways remotely via the cloud software web dashboard.
An IoT gateway stores all values locally until the data are successfully sent to the cloud software. A break in the connection between the gateway and
remote cloud server does not cause loss of data. Locally stored data are sent to the cloud software as soon as connection is restored.
You can find more information on the Bluetooth IoT gateway
here.
Cloud Software
The data from the Bluetooth IoT gateways are sent to the back end cloud software for processing and reporting.
You can review the real time temperature and humidity logs at any time, from anywhere via the cloud software web dashboard. If you set up alerts,
you get logs on when and what type of alert was triggered, and when conditions were corrected.
You also get an instant e-mail notifying you of a problem.

cloud software dashboard or in the mobile app.
You can remotely monitor conditions at various sites through a single dashboard.
Centralized Cloud Platform
All team members can access real time data through a central cloud platform. You can review reports in a tabular and graphical format,
and download digital temperature and humidity logs.
Historic Data Logging
The IoT monitoring system allows you to store and archive historic data for trend analysis and compliance. You
can access digital temperature and humidity logs on demand for any time frame.
Edge Data Processing
An IoT monitoring system produces a lot of data, and part of them is redundant. An
edge IoT gateway
pre-processes data based on your pre-set rules. Only unique data are sent to the remote cloud software.
Edge data processing reduces load on the server and ensures that central database is not cluttered with unnecessary info.
Custom Alerts
You can set up custom alerts and get an email if temperature or humidity values falls outside of pre-set range.
Alerts can be set for the monitored zones, as well as for the assets and inventory groups.
A custom alerts system helps prevent damage, spoilage and waste.
IoT Monitoring System Linked To The Inventory Info
In the stand alone IoT monitoring systems you can get temperature and humidity data for the monitored zones.
A QR Inventory software goes a step further. In addition to the specific zones, you can monitor conditions and get alerts for
individual assets and inventory items based on their location and movement.
A Secure IoT System.
A QR Inventory software has security measures in place to prevent unauthorized access. You can set granular user privileges to make sure
that software users do not get an access to the info they are not supposed to see or edit.

A combo of IoT temperature and humidity monitoring system and inventory management software gives you precise data logs for
all assets and inventory, regardless of how you move assets between zones.
A QR Inventory software is a modern
smart inventory management system.
It automates your inventory management tasks and gives you the option to remotely monitor
assets and inventory conditions using BLE sensors and an IoT gateway.
Using a QR Inventory system, company employees can track assets and inventory in the warehouse and in the field, in real time, fast and error-free.
You have a variety of tagging and scanning options to choose from.
You can use barcodes, QR codes, NFC or BLE tags to label assets and inventory.
For the scanners you can use smartphones, Bluetooth barcode scanners, mobile computers, or automatically monitor assets with the BLE tags and a Bluetooth IoT gateway.
As a result, you always know where the assets are and how they have been used, inventory stock in all locations, inventory usage statistics and trends, and much more.
If you are dealing with the assets and inventory which are sensitive to the climate conditions, a QR Inventory software have you covered.
An IoT
temperature and humidity monitoring system that comes with the QR Inventory software allows you to remotely keep track of the
conditions using a network of IoT sensors and gateways.
Unlike stand alone monitoring systems, where you only get data for the zones, in
the QR Inventory software you get temperature and humidity conditions for each asset and inventory batch.
A QR Inventory system knows the conditions in each zone monitored by the IoT sensors. It also knows where assets and inventory are located and how they are moved.
A combo of this data gives you temperature and humidity logs for each asset and inventory item.
Different assets and inventory groups may have different temperature and humidity tolerance. In the QR Inventory system you know exactly if a specific
asset or inventory batch
is exposed to the conditions outside of the acceptable range.
In summary, a QR Inventory system gives you a full control of the assets and inventory at all times. You will be compliant with the traceability requirements,
have easily accessible digital documents and
be sure that assets and inventory are always stored at the optimal conditions.
