Why Critical Storage?

Temperature deviations in critical storage units can cause irreparable product damage, jeopardize treatments, compromise research and lead to regulatory fines, legal repercussions and loss of accreditation. Yet traditional approaches to monitoring these conditions rely on manual, semi-automated processes: collecting and documenting temperatures unit by unit, comparing readings against storage requirements and creating consolidated reports by hand. This is labor-intensive, time-consuming, prone to human error and makes it difficult to detect patterns or meet compliance reporting requirements.

Critical Storage is a proactive service that automates data collection, deviation detection and consolidated reporting for critical storage environments. It provides visibility into refrigeration performance, aids in standards reporting and prevents product loss. Independent from your building automation system and compatible with third-party assets, Critical Storage ensures accurate, timely data through secure, reliable connectivity, enabling your staff to focus on core responsibilities.

Compliance and risk reduction

Streamline reporting consolidation and document proof of compliance with automated reports that meet healthcare and life sciences standards. Reduce exposure to regulatory fines, legal actions and reputational damage.

Prevent product loss

Identify patterns, trends and anomalies in storage conditions promptly, enabling fast resolution before deviations lead to product degradation, ineffective medications, compromised research or supply chain disruptions.

Staff productivity

Eliminate the manual burden of collecting, documenting and comparing storage data across units and rooms. Free your staff to focus on core job responsibilities instead of cumbersome, error-prone reporting tasks.

Outcomes

Automated consolidated reporting

Critical Storage delivers automated daily, weekly and monthly consolidated reports as PDFs through secure, reliable connectivity. Each report summarizes KPIs across all rooms and assets, providing a quick-glance view of storage performance. Reports are configurable, with options to show or hide specific data tables and charts based on your needs.

Deviation detection and anomaly identification

The service continuously compares storage readings against product-specific requirements to identify deviations from operational limits. Missing data points are flagged automatically. By detecting patterns and trends that manual processes would miss, Critical Storage enables prompt escalation and resolution before deviations lead to product loss or compliance issues.

KPI-based performance visibility

Structured KPI reports summarize performance by room and asset for any chosen report period. Metrics include temperature, humidity, percentage of time within critical limits and deviations from operational tolerances. KPI ranges are adjustable to match your specific storage requirements, giving you compliance and control visibility in a single view.
