Sensors Step Up to Industry Demands
From monitoring COVID-19 vaccine temperatures to combining vibration, temperature, and speed in one device, new sensor technology is addressing industry needs on an ever-wider scale.
Feb 18th, 2021
For the past several years now, there’s been an intense focus on sensor technology from direct Ethernet connectivity to its role in delivering granular data about production for Industrial Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 applications. And developments in sensor technology continue to keep pace with the changing requirements of industry.
Evidence of such developments can be seen in two recent announcements from Swift Sensors and Petasense.

24/7 cloud-based wireless monitoring ensures vaccines are stored throughout the cold chain in the required sub-zero temperature ranges down to -100°C.
AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#CDC–Swift Sensors (https://www.swiftsensors.com/), a provider of industrial IoT sensor solutions, announces the launch of its secure wireless vaccine storage unit monitoring and alert system to enable medical facilities and pharmacies to remotely monitor COVID-19 vaccine storage temperatures, automate data logging, and respond quickly in case of an equipment problem or power failure.
As vaccine suppliers and public health agencies expand the number of locations for vaccine delivery, pharmacies and clinics must quickly and safely store the vaccines to preserve the vaccines’ efficacy, prevent waste, and comply with data monitoring regulations. Swift Sensors has developed a wireless sensor system to achieve these goals.
