Continuous Monitoring System

Continuous Monitoring System in Malaysia

Seacom Process Instruments supplies, installs and supports the Vaisala viewLinc Continuous Monitoring System in Malaysia for pharmaceutical facilities, cleanrooms, laboratories, hospitals, warehouses, cold-chain storage, semiconductor manufacturing and other critical environments.

viewLinc brings measurement devices, secure records, real-time trends, alarm management, audit trails and reports into one scalable environmental monitoring system. It can monitor temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide, differential pressure, dew point, door contacts and other parameters through suitable data loggers, probes, transmitters and input devices.

How the Vaisala viewLinc System Works

System layerFunctionTypical components
Measurement Senses conditions at each room, chamber, refrigerator, freezer or process location Temperature, humidity, CO2, differential-pressure and other probes or transmitters
Local recording Stores timestamped measurements at the monitoring point during normal operation and temporary communication interruptions Vaisala VDL200 or Vaisala RFL100
Communication Transfers recorded measurements to the monitoring server Ethernet and Power over Ethernet, or VaiNet wireless through the AP10 Access Point
Monitoring software Provides real-time views, alarms, trends, reports, audit trails and user administration Vaisala viewLinc Enterprise Server
Notification Escalates threshold, device and communication alarms to responsible personnel Email, SMS or voice services, browser notifications, signal towers and compatible relay devices

A monitoring system is not a control system: viewLinc records environmental conditions and alerts personnel when limits are exceeded. Critical control, shutdown and immediate life-safety functions should remain within appropriately engineered control and safety systems.

Parameters That Can Be Monitored

ParameterTypical locationsImportant selection detail
Temperature Rooms, refrigerators, freezers, cold rooms, incubators and cryogenic storage Define the full temperature range, probe position, cable routing and required accuracy
Relative humidity Warehouses, cleanrooms, laboratories and controlled production Consider condensation, chemical exposure and calibration access
Carbon dioxide Incubators, laboratories and controlled environments Select the correct concentration range and provide suitable power and probe installation

Continuous Monitoring for GxP Environments

When correctly specified, configured, controlled and validated, viewLinc can support monitoring requirements associated with GxP, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU GMP Annex 11 and data-integrity practices. The complete implementation—not the product name alone—determines whether the system meets the facility's intended use and quality requirements.

  • Controlled user accounts, groups, roles and authority levels
  • Secure, timestamped environmental records
  • Audit trails for relevant system activity and changes
  • Configurable threshold, device and communication alarms
  • Alarm acknowledgement, escalation and reporting workflows
  • Preconfigured, custom and scheduled reports
  • Local device memory to protect records during temporary communication interruptions
  • IQ/OQ protocols and optional GxP documentation for validation activities

Compliance depends on implementation: user requirements, risk assessment, system configuration, calibration, validation, procedures, training, security, backup and change control must all be addressed. A statement that software “supports 21 CFR Part 11” is not a substitute for a validated system and controlled operational process.

Alarm and Escalation Planning

Alarm elementQuestion to defineWhy it matters
Threshold What limits protect the product, process or room? Alarm limits should be justified rather than copied automatically from operating targets
Delay How long may a brief excursion continue before notification? Appropriate delays reduce nuisance alarms without hiding meaningful events
Recipient Who responds during working hours, nights, weekends and holidays? Every alarm path needs an available, trained owner
Escalation Who is contacted when the first recipient does not acknowledge? Prevents an active alarm from remaining unattended
Response What action must the recipient take? Notification is useful only when linked to a documented response procedure
Review How are excursions, acknowledgements and recurring alarms assessed? Supports investigation, corrective action and continual improvement

Existing DL-Series Systems and Migration

DL-series loggers remain installed in many operational viewLinc systems. If an existing site uses DL1000, DL1400, DL1700, DL2000 or DL4000 devices, expansion and replacement should be reviewed against the installed probes, interfaces, software version and validation status.

Existing requirementLegacy equipmentCurrent planning direction
Temperature channels DL1016, DL1416, DL1000 and DL1400 Consider VDL200 for new systems; verify probe and installation requirements before migration
Temperature and humidity DL2000 Consider VDL200 with a compatible humidity and temperature probe
Thermocouple inputs DL1700 Review channel count, thermocouple type and current supported architecture before replacement
Universal analogue inputs DL4000 Consider VDL200 with ANP115 or an appropriate CAB100 input arrangement
Legacy Wi-Fi monitoring HMT140 Use RFL100 with AP10 for current wireless projects after a coverage assessment

A migration should not be treated as a simple model-number substitution. Confirm sensor placement, measurement range, accuracy, wiring, network ports, alarm logic, historical records, calibration process and validation impact before changing an operational monitoring point.
