How OnSight works

Connect readings and equipment detections to a record your team can use. Review what happened, check the latest recorded status, and respond to alerts.

How the system connects

From your site to the information your team uses.

Data flows through the connections configured for your deployment. Devices, coverage and update frequency depend on the site and connected systems.

From a cold-room reading to an alert

A temperature-monitoring deployment shows how the parts work together.

  1. Measure the temperature

    A sensor takes a reading in a cold room or refrigerated storage area.

  2. Record it in Core

    OnSight Core receives the reading from the connected device system and records the event.

  3. Review it in Command

    Your team can review the temperature reading and its recorded history in OnSight Command.

  4. Respond to an alert

    When a reading crosses a configured threshold, an alert tells your team it needs attention.

For asset tracking, the event is a gateway detecting a tag. Command shows where and when the asset was last detected.

Your team's view in OnSight Command

Use the recorded data to decide what needs attention and review the history afterwards.

Gateway detections supply location records to Command. This demo shows an asset list with site and zone information; the available data depends on the connected hardware and configuration.

Review readings

Check temperature readings and review the recorded history for your monitored storage.

Find equipment

Check the latest recorded gateway detection and when it occurred.

Follow up on alerts

Use notifications and the recorded readings to investigate a threshold breach.

Choose devices for the job

The right equipment depends on what you need to detect, the site and your existing systems. Coverage and update frequency are deployment-specific.

Temperature sensors

What it detects
Temperature readings.
Where it fits
Cold rooms, refrigerated storage and food operations.
How records update
Readings arrive through the connected sensor system. Frequency depends on the deployment.

BLE tags and gateways

What it detects
The presence of a tagged asset within gateway range.
Where it fits
Equipment across warehouses, worksites and customer locations.
How records update
A gateway detection updates the record. The location remains the last detected location until another detection occurs.

RFID tags and readers

What it detects
A tagged item passing within reader range.
Where it fits
Identification at doorways, gates or production checkpoints.
How records update
Reader detections can supply events. Discuss reader compatibility and integration requirements with OnSight.

Radio integrations

What it detects
Available location, status and emergency signals from supported radio systems.
Where it fits
Operations using Motorola or Tait radio networks.
How records update
Available events depend on the radio models, network and configured integration.

Connected systems

What it detects
Readings and events made available by an existing system.
Where it fits
Bringing existing monitoring data into the same workflow.
How records update
Compatibility, available data and update frequency are assessed for each integration.

FreshCo

Temperature records for apple exports

FreshCo needed calibrated temperature monitoring for apples being prepared for export to Japan.

Delivered with Precision Monitoring, OnSight connects sensor readings to the SNAP packhouse system.

Temperature records are collected automatically and can be reviewed for each shipment.

Finding equipment across customer sites

Manual tracking made it difficult to account for drying equipment in the warehouse and out on jobs.

BLE tags, a warehouse gateway and technicians’ phones record where equipment is detected.

The team can check delivery locations and compare expected equipment returns with actual returns.
