Environmental Monitoring and Alerting

Solutions for Storage Areas and Warehouses

Room Alert

Of most important factors that affect warehouses and storage areas are the factors that affect the
environment where items will be stored and showed. People who work in storage operations and
warehouse managers know the damage that could impact stored goods because of temperature,
humidity, light and other environmental factor.

Temperature, Humidity and Ventilation

IN general, Temperature and Relative Humidity (RH) are one of the most important factors that should
be monitored. Ideal degrees of Temperature and Humidity differ by the different types of stored items,
whether it Food Products, Electronic Products, paper Products..... And commonly HVAC systems regulate
Temperature and Humidity and prevent growth of rot across all parts of the storage area. That's why
continues monitoring of those factors and ventilation air flow is very important.

Safety and Security

Storage areas and warehouses require planning for safety and security in response to emergency cases
and natural events that may damage stored items. Warehouse managers understand the importance of
safety and security precautions before events that nobody wants them to happen such as natural
disasters, theft, or vandalism and continuous monitoring and fast response will prevent damage and
losses.
Using Alarm and Alerting Systems

Most storage areas are equipped with Fire Alarm and Fighting systems, but with other factors other than
fire the need for other alerting and response systems increases and became as important as having a Fire
Alarm and Fighting system in place. There must be automated system to monitor Temperature,
Humidity, Water Leak on floor or pipes, Air Ventilation, Motion in restricted areas and Gates Security.
These systems must be able to send instant alerts to warehouse managers anywhere anytime whenever
and event occurred. These systems also should be able to start corrective actions automatically to
prevent damage.

Our solution to warehouse managers

Room Alert is a hardware and software solution that allows easy remote monitoring of the
environmental conditions and is perfect for environments such as warehouses, cold storage facilities,
multi-building plants, communication rooms, control rooms, critical rack cabinets, data centers ...
It will help protect stored items, valuable equipment and other important assets to prevent losses if
conditions change or a disaster occurs. Room Alert monitors are connected via Ethernet to the
network and do not require a host PC for operation. Use the built-in web server, bundled Device
ManageRTM to monitor Room Alert devices network-wide.

These solutions save billions of dollars each year for organizations worldwide by allowing them to
monitor temperature, humidity, power, flood, smoke, room entry, air flow and more in their computer
rooms, data centers and/or other facilities. Users can log and graph data, send alerts when conditions
change, take automatic action to shutdown servers or start backup systems when issues occur; all
managed through a web interface via a single IP address.
Easy to use, low cost, high value solution

All Room Alert models are very easy to install and use
because the monitors plug directly into the network via
Ethernet and use 'built-in' or 'attached' sensors, making
them a very cost effective solution and expandable at any
time. They do not require construction or modification of
building structure. If your organization relocates at some
time in the future, Room Alert monitors can move with you
because they are NOT permanently attached to the physical
property.

Customers typically have Room Alert installed and operational in minutes. And the bundled Device
ManageR software allows expanded methods of sending alerts to computers, mobile phones and
more, as well as to individuals, groups, hierarchies, and different people for different issues, at
different times of the day and different days of the week. These are in addition to the built-in
notification capabilities of each Room Alert model.

Device ManageR handles Monitoring, Alerting & Automatic Corrective Actions.

Room Alert was designed to optionally run with Device ManageR application software to monitor
the sensors of Room Alert units and then provide alerting and/or automatic corrective actions. It
provides powerful enhancement to Room Alert because the capabilities of Device ManageR go
beyond the scope of basic environment monitoring. It offers monitoring, alerting, logging,
graphing, reporting, automatic actions and more. Device ManageR is included FREE with all
models of Room Alert.
 Device ManageR allows an unlimited number of
'Contacts' (people or devices) that are setup to receive
alert notifications. In addition to standard alerts, Device
ManageR can also send text and voice alert notifications
by dial-out through standard voice or GSM modems.
With recent additions of Plugins, Device ManageR is
able to extend its powerful monitoring features to
include monitoring of other third party products.
Room Alert models connect to your network via Ethernet, allowing you to connect Room Alert
monitors anywhere across your local or worldwide network. This allows you to have unlimited
Room Alert units installed at various locations that can all be monitored by a single installation of
Device ManageR. This makes Room Alert and Device ManageR easier to install and more cost
effective to manage. Users connect to Device ManageR using their favorite web browser from
anywhere worldwide!

Integrating Room Alert with your existing SNMP Monitoring Software

Room Alert is designed to run with Device Manager software that comes FREE with all models.
However, Room Alert can also be configured to work with other third party monitoring and alerting
software you may already have like OpenView, Tivoli, Unicenter, WhatsUp Gold and many
others. This is accomplished by monitoring Room Alert models directly via SNMP from anywhere
across your network. This allows immediate integration of Room Alert and gives the ability to
maintain a centralized reporting function that may already in place and alert format consistent with
what recipients are already familiar with and preserve investments already done.
Room Alert Sensors
The following list indicates the most common types of sensors currently available for use with Room
Alert models.

Temperature Thermometer (dynamic real-time values, Fahrenheit or Celsius)

Humidity Hygrometer (dynamic real-time values, relative humidity, heat index)
Power Power Sensor (switch, yes/no)
Flood Flood / Water Sensor (switch, yes/no, cable or spot models)
Smoke / Fire Smoke / Fire Sensor (switch, yes/no)
Motion Motion Sensor (switch, yes/no)
Sound / Light Sound / Light Sensor (switch, yes/no, adjustable sensitivity)
Air Flow Air Flow Sensor (switch, yes/no)
Room Entry Room Entry Sensor (switch, open/closed, for door/window/cabinet)
Panic Button Panic Button (switch, on/off, pushed by attendant)
Current Loop Electrical Current Flow ( monitor power consumption)
Water/Fuel Level Level rise or fall an established level (switch, yes/no)
