Background
As the IoT transformation expands deeper into various industries and trickles into every corner, more and more hospitals harness LoRaWAN® technology to solve challenges not only in the patient treatment sector but also in backstage departments, like the laboratory department. To meet the need to improve efficiency and reduce emergencies, Milesight, with its partner Başarı Mühendislik, offers a smart IoT solution for Etlik City Hospital, the largest hospital in Turkey, to effortlessly monitor temperature and humidity of medical samples, as well as liquid tank level.
Challenges
The medical samples in the laboratory should be stored at the appropriate temperature and humidity, but the malfunction of the refrigerator is inevitable. Thus, monitoring of temperature and humidity is vital. Also, it is very important to monitor the level of waste and chemical liquid in hospitals and laboratories.
However, there are some challenges to be tackled, like:
- 7*24 Real-Time Monitoring and Alert
- Wireless Deployment and Easy Installation
- Wide and reliable Network Coverage
Project
The project deployed in Etlik City Hospital, the first hospital in Turkey to use LoRaWAN® solutions. In this project, hundreds of EM300-TH Temperature & Humidity Sensors and EM500-PT100 PT100 Industrial Temperature Sensors were deployed to monitor temperature and humidity in refrigerators and cold storage. Several EM310-UDL Ultrasonic Distance/Level Sensors monitor waste liquid levels in the tanks. And UG65 LoRaWAN® Gateway offers reliable LoRaWAN® network coverage to cover the whole hospital.

How to connect the Milesight sensors to the IoSphere IoT platform? >>>
Solution
Milesight’s LoRaWAN® sensors collect temperature and humidity and liquid level, and automatically deliver them to the cloud-based remote monitoring system - IoSphere IoT Platform via Milesigth LoRaWAN® Gateway. IoSphere IoT Platform’s intuitive dashboard displays all critical monitoring information and gives users an easy way to access real-time status.
Refrigerator Monitoring
The temperature and humidity of the refrigerators in the laboratory were measured with Milesight EM300-TH sensors. When a refrigerator malfunction occurs or operates at an improper temperature, EM300-TH will immediately notify the admin via Telegram and the admin intervened promptly to prevent any negative consequences.
Cold Storage Monitoring
EM500-PT100 sensors were used for samples that needed to be stored at -80°C in cold storage. It sends the ambient data to IoSphere IoT platform which offers real-time status and historical tracking records. When cold storages are at risk, the admin will get an immediate alert.
Liquid Tank Monitoring
The EM310-UDL sensors are installed on the lid of the liquid tanks to monitor the level of waste liquid and chemical waste. It informs the admin of the waste level every 30 minutes upon request. In addition, if the waste level reaches a threshold, an alarm will be sent to the admin's phone via Telegram. This allows the admin to contact the municipality and arrange for the disposal of the waste liquids.
Key Benefits
- 7*24 Real-Time Remote Monitoring and Alert
Milesight sensors remotely monitor temperature, humidity and waste level values 7 * 24. Thus, the end user does not need to check all facilities on site and get immediate alerts anytime anywhere.
