Vaisala viewLinc Environmental Monitoring System

The Vaisala viewLinc Environmental Monitoring System has been redesigned to offer long-range wireless communication, ease of use and fast deployment. The system is suitable for monitoring high-value assets that are affected by environmental conditions, such as air temperature or humidity. It is used in pharmaceuticals, museums, galleries and IT server rooms.

The product provides trends, alarming and customisable reporting that ensure environmental information via a wide selection of Vaisala devices that monitor temperature, humidity, CO₂ and other variables. For GxP compliance, validation documents are available. The updated system leverages cutting-edge wireless communications capabilities in order to utilise logging devices that communicate even in obstructed environments.

Vaisala licensed a long-range wireless specification to create VaiNet, a wireless technology for viewLinc. The signal strength between network access points and data loggers can travel over 100 m indoors. It is not affected by walls, equipment, Wi-Fi networks or other usual signal impediments.

The company has simplified and automated various functions, eliminated or improved aspects of system deployment that were time-consuming or complex, and updated the software interface with embedded help to guide users through common tasks. The result is a monitoring system that can be installed in minutes, maintains compliance for years and eliminates issues related to wireless data logging.
