LabWatch® IoT is a premium, cloud-native monitoring platform that gives your organization real-time visibility and control over critical stability, environmental, and facility conditions—so you can protect product integrity, reduce risk, and simplify compliance. Secure site-to-cloud connections (VPN and encrypted storage) continuously monitor any number of chambers and sensors, detect alarm conditions instantly, and route intelligent alerts to the right people wherever they are—eliminating paper logs and manual data retrieval.
Designed for effortless oversight, LabWatch delivers current alarm status, historical readings, and trend analytics through a clean, responsive dashboard accessible from any web browser or mobile device. Users sign in with company credentials and multi-factor authentication (MFA) for enterprise-grade security. Built-in reporting lets you generate audit-ready records automatically or on demand, speeding investigations and ensuring inspection readiness with minimal administrative effort.
LabWatch IoT now integrates seamlessly with the Kaye NetPac II and the Kaye ValProbe® RM for both real-time wired and wireless monitoring. The ValProbe RM’s compact, rugged base accepts two digital sensors—giving you flexible sensing in a single logger—while NetPac II provides reliable data aggregation across larger installations. Both devices securely transmit primary environmental parameters, primarily temperature and humidity, to the LabWatch Cloud for centralized analysis and long-term recordkeeping.
From frontline technicians to compliance managers and executives, LabWatch simplifies decision-making with timely alerts, role-based views, and exportable data for custom analysis. Whether you’re scaling across facilities or optimizing a single site, LabWatch combines proven hardware, secure cloud infrastructure, and intuitive software to reduce downtime, lower operational overhead, and strengthen your quality program.
Complete Cloud Solution
Integrating high quality sensors, latest wireless and wired technologies for communication and networking abilities into an easy-to-use browser Information Management Solution, LabWatch IoT combines precise facility monitoring with effective alarming, hassle-free reporting, and secure data Cloud archiving and performance. LabWatch IoT detects system excursions and can alarm personnel wherever they are.

Robust & Scalable System Architecture
The Kaye LabWatch IoT system is built as an AWS GxP Model encompassing intelligence and redundancy at multiple levels in the system. Each of the elements in the architecture are robust, complete & independent sub systems. At the primary input of the system lie the extremely accurate calibrated sensor modules temperature/humidity/CO2/Pressure/etc.). These sensor elements feed into the RF Valprobe data loggers or the Netpac modules. The battery operated RF Loggers store and forward the real time data from the sensor elements at programmed interval to the RF Base Stations. Up to 30000 samples can be stored on these loggers and can be retrieved in case of a power failure on the base stations or RF transmission issues.
The loggers communicate data real time via a robust and reliable 2.4 GHz RF (Radio Frequency) Wireless network interconnected via the SmartMesh technology to the base stations. The RF base stations have the ability to connect to up to 100 loggers and 8 such base stations can be connected to a LabWatch IoT system via an Ethernet network or USB. The RF Base stations provide the second level of redundancy in case of a Network or Server failures and can store 30000 samples from each of the 100 loggers. The RF Base stations communicate to the LabWatch IoT Cloud Server via the industry standard OPC/UA Server.
The LabWatch IoT facility monitoring system can be a Wireless or a Wired System. The system architecture supports a Hybrid system with Wired and Wireless inputs based on the customer application or to add new Wired or Wireless points to an existing Wired/Wireless networks. In a Wired System the sensor modules are physically wired to a Netpac module. The Netpac modules are connected to the LabWatch IoT system through an Ethernet or RS485 connectivity. The Netpac modules communicate to the Server via a Netpac OPC/UA Driver loaded as part of the LabWatch System.
LabWatch IoT is a complete facility monitoring application residing on the LabWatch AWS GxP Server, using only a local workstation to apply a VPN connection for the necessary security for data transmission. All the data from the sensor modules, application configuration information, audit trail, security information is stored on the LabWatch IoT Server. User can access the LabWatch system remotely via any web browser, from any PC or mobile platform.
