Improve equipment visibility and operational uptime

In modern laboratories, equipment reliability and performance directly impact productivity, cost control, and research timelines. Unexpected equipment failures, performance drift, or lack of visibility into system health can lead to downtime, delayed experiments, and increased service costs.

 

Remote monitoring helps support asset performance by providing centralized visibility into equipment telemetry, enabling proactive response and data-driven decision-making.


Why asset performance matters

Laboratory equipment fleets often include:

  • Ultra-low freezers
  • Incubators and environmental chambers
  • Analytical instruments
  • Mixed-vendor equipment environments

Without centralized monitoring, labs may face:

  • Reactive service events
  • Unexpected downtime
  • Unplanned capital purchases
  • Limited visibility into performance trends

Supporting asset performance requires more than alerts - it requires telemetry visibility and trend analysis.


How remote monitoring supports asset performance

Real-time equipment telemetry visibility

Monitor equipment parameters such as temperature, door status, current, and additional performance indicators (where supported), enabling centralized status awareness.

Trend analysis and performance visualization

Identify patterns and potential drift using performance analytics and graphical historical tools designed to support proactive maintenance strategies.

Multi-vendor instrument monitoring

Connect compatible Thermo Scientific and third-party equipment into a centralized monitoring environment to improve fleet visibility across mixed OEM environments.
 

Enhanced parameter access with Thermo equipment

When paired with onboarded Thermo Scientific instruments, Connect Edge can access expanded telemetry from built-in sensors, providing deeper operational insight.


Solutions that support asset performance

Connect Edge

Connected Equipment Monitoring & Data Integration Platform

 

Connect Edge is designed to provide enhanced instrument health reporting on 700 Thermo Scientific laboratory instruments and growing. Instruments can have anywhere from 10 sensors (biosafety cabinet) to 50 (ULT) sensors built in. These sensors can indicate when internal compressors, fans, evaporators and other vital systems are experiencing issues that warrant a preventive maintenance call.

 


Designed for operational decision-making

Remote monitoring solutions can help support:

  • Proactive service scheduling
  • Informed purchasing decisions
  • Equipment lifecycle planning
  • Reduced downtime through early identification of drift
  • Centralized fleet management across locations

Frequently Asked Questions

What is equipment telemetry monitoring?

Equipment telemetry monitoring involves collecting and centralizing data from instrument sensors and device systems to provide visibility into operational status and performance trends.

 

Can remote monitoring reduce equipment downtime?

Remote monitoring enables earlier detection of condition changes, which may support proactive response and reduce unexpected service events.

 

Does Connect Edge work with non-Thermo equipment?

Connect Edge supports monitoring of compatible Thermo Scientific and select third-party instruments, enabling centralized visibility across mixed fleets.
