For years, temperature monitoring has been treated as a compliance formality. Take a reading, store the data, tick the box. But in pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and cold chain logistics, that mentality is no longer good enough. The risks are too high, the expectations too strict, and the cost of failure too great.
At Sematics®, we’ve rebuilt the concept of temperature monitoring from the ground up. It’s no longer just about measuring - it’s about acting faster, proving compliance, and reducing risk, without adding operational drag. From the hardware to the backend, everything is engineered for real-world resilience and regulatory readiness.
Precision Sensors, Designed for the Real World
Our Node+ sensors are built for high-accuracy temperature monitoring across the full range of critical storage environments - from –80°C ultra-low freezers to +60°C incubators. Each sensor is designed to deliver long-term stability in harsh or high-dependency settings.
They’re calibrated to ISO 17025 standards through UKAS-accredited processes and equipped with firmware that resists drift over time. The housing is rugged and IP-rated for protection, and the batteries are designed to last for years - not months. Whether you're monitoring hospital fridges, blood plasma storage, or pharmaceutical depots, the data is reliable, accurate, and defensible.
Data Integrity, Even When the Network Fails
Legacy systems often assume the network is always available. But in reality, connectivity drops. Sites go offline. Vehicles enter dead zones. When that happens, most systems either lose data or stop recording entirely.
Sematics® solves this at the source. Each Node+ sensor buffers readings internally and tracks whether a message has been acknowledged by the platform. If it isn’t, the data is stored locally and resent later - in order and without duplication. That means no blackouts, no gaps, and a provable audit trail that reflects what actually happened, not what the network saw.
This level of end-to-end integrity - from the sensor, through the gateway, to the cloud - means you’ll never have to explain a missing data point to an auditor again.
Event-Driven Monitoring and Intelligent Escalations
Sematics® doesn’t just passively collect readings. It acts the moment something matters.
Threshold breaches instantly trigger response workflows tailored to your operation - whether it’s escalating in-hours to local staff, or sending after-hours alerts via SMS, voice call, or push notification. The escalation logic is configurable by site, time of day, product type, and severity.
Every incident is automatically logged, with built-in Root Cause Analysis, Corrective and Preventative Action (CAPA), and follow-up tracking. The result is not just monitoring, but structured, auditable incident management - built into the platform, not layered on top.
Built-In Compliance: Logs, Reviews, and Sign-Offs
Meeting compliance requirements doesn’t need to mean chasing paperwork. With Sematics®, every compliance action - from daily checks to regulatory sign-offs - is handled directly in the platform.
Users are notified when action is required. Once completed, sign-offs are timestamped and locked. Change logs track who did what, when, and why - including edits to thresholds, responses to alerts, and user comments. Role-based access ensures only authorised personnel can complete regulated actions, and digital approval workflows mirror the structure required by GDP, GxP, MHRA, and internal SOPs.
You get full audit readiness - without the usual friction.
Architecture That Doesn’t Break Under Scale
Sematics® is built on a cloud-native architecture optimised for performance at scale. Unlike polling systems that request data periodically, we use real-time telemetry streaming and event-driven backend processing. This means the platform responds instantly - with alerts firing, dashboards updating, and workflows triggering as soon as data arrives.
Our database layer is designed around time-series data, allowing fast, efficient queries across long time spans - ideal for analytics, audit trails, and historical performance review. Whether you're managing a single site or hundreds of mobile assets, the system adapts without lag or degradation.
Why It Matters
Temperature excursions aren’t just operational failures - they’re regulatory breaches, potential product losses, and reputational risks. You need more than alerts. You need a monitoring system that prevents failure, documents everything, and holds up under scrutiny.
Sematics® is that system. It doesn’t just collect temperature data - it builds trust in the process.
Sematics® isn’t just about temperature - it’s about trust. Every part of the platform is designed to help you act faster, prove compliance, and reduce risk without adding complexity.
