Case Study: UCSF achieves automated cryonics lab monitoring with Losant

UCSF automates cryonics lab monitoring with Losant for $5 million microscopes

The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) required an automated solution to monitor the critical environmental conditions for its high-value cryo-electron microscopes. Their challenge was to move away from a manual, time-based maintenance process for checking liquid nitrogen tanks, UPS systems, and facility temperature to prevent damage to the multi-million-dollar equipment. They implemented the Losant Enterprise IoT Platform to address this need.

Using the Losant platform, UCSF configured a condition-based maintenance solution that automatically monitors equipment and switches nitrogen tanks. This implementation resulted in a fully automated process that sends text and email alerts to staff when attention is required, ensuring the ideal environment for the lab's valuable assets. The solution from Losant eliminated unnecessary maintenance and provided invaluable real-time visibility into the lab's conditions.
