Thermo Fisher Scientific Connect Edge

Thermo Fisher Scientific's Thermo Scientific™ Connect Edge is an advanced hardware solution designed for remote monitoring of laboratory equipment through the InstrumentConnect platform. Connect Edge operates as an Open Protocol Communication Unified Architecture (OPC UA) server, allowing data from laboratory devices to be transmitted to cloud-based or premise-based systems, such as Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) or Building Management Systems (BMS).

Key Features:

• Supports Monitoring for 10+ Devices: Connect Edge allows users to monitor data from 10 or more laboratory devices from a single gateway using Ethernet or Wi-Fi. This reduces the need for additional hardware and simplifies lab equipment management.
• Compatibility with Over 700 Thermo Scientific Models: The InstrumentConnect platform is currently compatible with more than 700 Thermo Scientific equipment models, including freezers, refrigerators, incubators, and other key lab instruments. The platform is continuously expanding its compatibility list.
• Remote Monitoring 24/7: InstrumentConnect offers real-time monitoring of critical lab equipment, enabling users to view and manage telemetry data remotely to enhance operational efficiency.
• Data Integration with Cloud and On-Premise Systems: With OPC UA, Connect Edge ensures that system-based sensor and event data can be securely transferred to external systems, such as LIMS or BMS, enabling comprehensive data management.

Applications:

• Proactive equipment maintenance through telemetry data
• Integration with on-premise and cloud systems to optimize lab resources

Connect Edge is designed to improve lab efficiency and resource management by providing streamlined connectivity and advanced remote monitoring capabilities. It integrates seamlessly with existing lab infrastructure to provide real-time insights and improve equipment lifecycle management.
