Temperature Monitoring

Keep your fridge and freezer temperature records beside your stock. Beta, included on every plan during the beta.

  • Upload the files your loggers already make: Berlinger Fridge-tag 2L (including Varo app readouts), LogTag, or any CSV you map once
  • Sensor connections that send readings by themselves: Monnit, The Things Stack, ChirpStack, or your own system (signed Lift JSON)
  • Each logger beside its OpenBoxes location, with a chart of its readings
  • Excursions flagged against the WHO PQS refrigerator, freezer or mobile rule, a CDC-style any-out-of-range rule, or your own
  • Alerts by email, Slack, Microsoft Teams and PagerDuty, and an alert when a connected sensor stops sending readings
  • Monthly summaries, notes on excursions and CSV downloads

Lift shows a copy of your logger's record. Use your logger's own record for decisions about your vaccines and medicines, and for inspections. Lift is not a validated system.
