Developed by Allentown exclusively for the biomedical research industry, the Wi-Com Vantage Wireless IVC Rack Monitoring System gives users the ability to remotely monitor research animal housing parameters, record and manage collected data and set levels for automated alarm broadcasts via wireless communications.

When it comes to real-time cage rack monitoring, wireless is more - more flexibility, more data, more options, more knowledge and more peace of mind - all with less cost and less labor than manual hard-wired rack monitoring systems.

Measure All Set-Points of IVC Performance

• Wireless, real-time remote monitoring of cage rack conditions
• Record and manage collected data with Wi-Com Vantage data storage software
• Automated visual and broadcast alarming via e-mail and text message
• User determined housing parameters, alarming points and sampling intervals
• Monitor temperature, humidity, air changes, filter status, cage pressure and alarm status

The Next Level in Rack and Cage Technology

A simple system that requires a Bluetooth or WiFi connection, Allentown's Wi-Com Vantage technology allows users to choose their own housing parameters, alarming points and sampling intervals for recording and managing data in real time. With specialized Allentown Wi-Com Vantage software this information is immediately accessible to multiple authorized users around the world.

How Wi-Com Vantage Works

Wireless-enabled Allentown supply and exhaust blowers broadcast rack parameter data to a central wireless hub located either inside or outside the animal holding room. The hub relays the information via Bluetooth or WiFi to a web server loaded with the Wi-Com Vantage software.

Real-Time Data Protects Research Assets

At preset intervals determined by the user, the system samples:

• Temperature
• Humidity
• Air Changes
• Filter Status
• Cage Pressure
• Blower Status
• Alarms

The host computer receives this data and displays it in tabulated form. The data is automatically logged into a database for future review and can be managed and displayed as reports by multiple database users.

Data Collection, Monitoring and Storage - Wi-Com Vantage Program

• Continuous monitoring of rack environmental and blower performance data
• User-set data storage interval
• Continuous real-time analysis based on user-set parameters
• Data output reports in various formats
• MS SQL Server Express with SQL Server upgrade available

Alarming

When user-determined preset limits are breached, alarms are sent to the host computer and then broadcast to pre-selected personnel via e-mail and/or text message.

Wire-Free and Worry-Free

The economical Wi-Com Vantage system is easy to install and use and costs significantly less than traditional hard wiring. It is the world's only wire-free and worry-free rack monitoring solution - only from Allentown.
