When the topic of sustainability gets brought up, often the attention is drawn to points like recycling and reducing waste. But there is so much more to it. There is no question that recycling and reusing waste products play a big role when it comes to environmental sustainability, but so too does eliminating CO2 emissions to reduce our carbon footprint. The goal of these efforts is to reduce the impact an organization has on the earth and all those that live on it. Kaye is expanding its sustainability efforts by challenging the entire organization to identify efforts that could be improved.
One thing that Kaye prides itself on is that we are always progressing. We are always looking to make our products better. LabWatch IoT, Kaye’s cloud-based environmental and facility monitoring system, is one of those products that is constantly seeing new improvements. In this post, we are going to look at some of the major new features that are making LabWatch IoT even better.
As the end of 2022 draws closer, it gives us time to reflect on the year that has been. For several years, the world was under the seemingly never-ending grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, many aspects of our daily lives have returned to normal. For us at Kaye, we have now seen the return of in person visits, trade shows, and, perhaps most importantly, seminars.
When weather patterns shift from Summer towards Winter, it means one thing for sure, temperatures will shift from the warm side to the cold side. When that happens, the temperatures will be affected in your warehouse as well. For temperature sensitive product and equipment, this can be trouble if the temperature dips too low. That is where Kaye’s environmental monitoring capabilities come in to help you know exactly what is going on with the temperature levels in your warehouse.
In today’s manufacturing world, much is made about certifications and accreditations, and rightfully so. When it comes to customers, their needs, and protecting those needs, having a universal language that everyone can use is a great asset to have. The International Organization for Standardization, or ISO, is a worldwide group that does just that. ISO develops and produces standards that companies across the globe use to prove to their customers that they have measures in place to make sure that their needs, as a customer, are met in an efficient fashion. What does this mean? Bottom line, a customer can have confidence in the company that holds these certifications.
If someone asks you about your data integrity, do you know what exactly that entails? Often, we don’t know what exactly data integrity means, we just know that we want it and need to keep it in place. While it is true that data integrity is important and needed, it is also important to understand what all is involved with data integrity.
When the COVID-19 Pandemic hit in 2020, the world seemed to stop. But one thing that didn’t stop was cybercrimes. If anything, the pandemic brought these illegal actives even more so to the forefront. From stealing a person’s identity to scams to steal someone’s unemployment or relief money, there was a great spike in events like these. That is one of the many reasons why data security is so important.
When the temperature gets warmer and the humidity goes up outside your facility, the temperature and humidity can change inside your facility too. Even small changes in temperature and humidity can mean the difference between our product being safe and unsafe. This is where temperature and humidity mapping come in. By mapping out your warehouses, cold rooms, refrigerators, freezers, and any other location that environmental control is important, you can rest assured that your product is safe.
As a validation professional or quality assurance expert, it is your responsibility to ensure that your pharmaceutical or biotech equipment is in compliance with the regulatory standards. You have a responsibility to understand how your equipment is performing to guarantee that your qualification studies are within compliance of governing bodies.
Most monitoring systems rely on software that is installed on a local Server or PC – the monitoring software has typically been tested and validated, it runs, it performs the usual functions that are required for reporting, alarming and general display. But is everyone happy?
Warehouse mapping is defined by regulatory guidelines as a seasonal requirement to ensure that storage conditions are maintained at defined specifications. This is a very critical step in ensuring your products and assets are kept safe and within the threshold of standards while stored in your facility. A bi-annual thermal mapping can keep your facility in compliance and ensure products are kept safe.
