Plug-n-Play Monitoring System

The Plug-n-Play system provides oversight of climate controlled environment/equipment for less cost than traditional monitoring systems. The devices are shipped with informational software that walks you through the installation process. All installation hardware, a calibration certificate from Coldchain Technology Services, a user's guide, and self assessment forms are included.

Custom Monitoring System

The Custom Monitoring System would encompass a 21 CFR part 11 compliant environmental monitoring system as well as an enterprise wide alarm and control package. These systems typically include data storage, system management, and alarm notification via phone or pager. Additional options that could be offered are building layouts, validation, inventory management, web based monitoring and process control. Each of the features are offered to meet your individual requirements. 

Some of our sensor options include:

Environmental Assessment

Coldchain Technology Services recognizes that most facilities/businesses operate on strict budgets while striving to meet industry standards and regulations. CTS offers assessment services to help you decide whether you need to invest in new equipment and whether it's time to institute an electronic monitoring capability. Depending on your needs, we can assess a single refrigerated unit or provide extensive on-site evaluations to include protocols, equipment, SOPs, process improvements, etc.
