Background

A leading pediatric hospital in Naples, Italy, operates across three large buildings and required a centralized system to monitor critical cold chain freezers and environmental conditions. To achieve full oversight, the hospital implemented the SCR – Smart Control Room, powered by the ConsolONE platform, consolidating multiple technologies and protocols into a single management console. The system integrates Milesight sensors to track temperature, humidity, door status, and energy consumption, ensuring compliance with AIFA regulations, safeguarding medications, and enabling proactive management of all hospital assets from one centralized location.

Challenges

Distributed Freezers

Pharmaceuticals were stored at multiple sites, complicating centralized monitoring.

Lack of Real-Time Visibility

Staff lacked live access to temperature, humidity and other critical data.

Complex Building Layout

Thick walls and long distances hindered reliable data transmission.

High Manual Workload

Checks were laborious and susceptible to human error, delaying critical responses.

Solution

Milesight devices provided the foundation for a reliable hospital's cold chain management system.

TS302 Sensors-Equipped with temperature probes and door contacts for precise real-time freezer monitoring.

Milesight devices enable continuous monitoring of pharmaceutical freezers, supporting reliable temperature control and cold chain supervision. The solution reduces manual checks and improves visibility across storage locations.

All data is integrated into the GxP-certified ConsolONE platform, which consolidates cold chain monitoring alongside other hospital systems such as fire alarms, IT infrastructure, and asset tracking within a centralized Smart Control Room. This unified approach supports AIFA compliance and helps the hospital manage pharmaceutical storage more efficiently.

Results

Centralized Cold Chain Monitoring

Milesight devices track temperature, humidity, door status, and energy use across multiple buildings, giving staff a unified view of pharmaceutical storage.

Proactive Issue Prevention

Automated alerts and real-time data allow staff to respond before problems escalate, reducing drug spoilage, unplanned downtime, and operational costs.

Reliable Redundant Connectivity

Sensors communicate over a redundant LoRaWAN® network with double gateways, and at least one gateway per floor includes 5G backup via WireGuard. Local data logging ensures continuous monitoring during network interruptions.

Holistic Operational Insight

Milesight devices provide actionable insights across the hospital, enabling staff to optimize environmental conditions, energy use, and space management beyond cold chain monitoring.
