Vaisala presents the innovative environmental monitoring system viewLinc at ILMAC 2016

Vaisala is introducing a new wireless environmental monitoring system with extended radio range at this week's international trade fair for pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and biotechnology, ILMAC 2016, in Basel. The Vaisala viewLinc Monitoring System, which has been used for years in critical laboratory environments within the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, consists of the viewLinc Enterprise Server software and additional monitoring devices. The new environmental monitoring system not only offers long-range wireless connections but also impresses with high user-friendliness and quick implementation.

The viewLinc Monitoring System provides users with information on real-time trends based on appropriate environmental data. It also displays alarm notifications and customizable reports with reliable environmental data. The system integrates a wide range of Vaisala data loggers, measurement sensors, and connection options for monitoring temperature, relative humidity, dew point temperature, CO2, differential pressure, switch contacts, and much more. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for use in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries as well as for GxP-regulated applications.

VaiNet: Wireless technology with excellent range

The new viewLinc system operates with state-of-the-art wireless technology that enables reliable communication of wireless loggers in environments with many interference factors. VaiNet, the proprietary viewLinc wireless technology, features a high range. Interference-free transmission over long distances between network access points and data loggers allows communication over more than 100 meters within enclosed spaces. Walls, devices, WLAN networks, or other common interference factors do not affect this range.

The VaiNet wireless technology offers excellent connection quality and signal penetration depth compared to techniques used by other wireless monitoring systems. Repeaters or signal amplifiers are not required.

Redesigned user interface

“In collaboration with several long-standing customers, we created a wishlist of system functions that should be either simplified or automated. Time-consuming or complex steps during system installation have been eliminated or optimized; additionally, we integrated a help function into the new software interface to assist users with common tasks,” says Andreas Knop, Sales Director Europe, Vaisala Controlled Environment.

This now provides a monitoring system that can be installed in minutes, meets compliance requirements over years, and practically solves all issues related to wireless data logging.

The Vaisala viewLinc Monitoring System will be showcased this week at the international trade fair for pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and biotechnology, ILMAC 2016, in Basel, Hall 1.1 E256. Our experts will be happy to discuss with you there!
