Capture physical signals
Sensors and smart devices collect the condition, status, usage, and action data that paper logs and LIMS records do not capture.
Products / AIoT hardware
AIoT hardware that turns lab conditions into operational evidence.
iLabService AIoT hardware captures the physical context that software and cloud records miss: temperature, door status, liquid level, CO2, humidity, IAQ, pressure, current, voltage, power, barcode actions, and inventory movement. Labs can connect these devices to platform workflows when network and cloud policies allow, or route them through the edge response layer (Sci-Edge) when offline-first local intelligence is required.
From devices to deployable scenes
Each device is organized around a lab operation that still depends on manual checks.
The AIoT hardware portfolio is organized around seven practical deployment entry points and seven device series. Each entry point shows where the physical signal is created, then maps to the configurable hardware series that can be deployed for that operation.
Support local capture
SciBox, gateways, LoRa, and LoRaWAN support rooms where Wi-Fi or cloud connectivity is not the only reliable path. For offline-first edge intelligence, use the edge response layer (Sci-Edge).
Connect to workflows
Alerts, inventory actions, response records, equipment records, and audit evidence flow into Guardian, Inventory, Equipment, Space, and EHS workflows.
Hardware to software
Guardian is the monitoring software surface for AIoT hardware events.
Guardian means "guarding the lab": it is iLabService's lab monitoring product. Sensors, SciBox, gateways, and related hardware create condition and alarm data; Guardian turns those signals into dashboards, alerts, response history, notes, and evidence records.
Sci device family
Three named hardware roles make the AIoT layer easier to understand.
SciBox, SciSocket, and SciLock are not separate software modules. They are configurable hardware devices that help labs connect physical signals, equipment behavior, and controlled access to iLabService cloud or the edge response layer.
IoT terminal for sensor data capture
Sensors connect to SciBox through plug-and-play sensor ports. SciBox collects the readings and sends them through Wi-Fi to the iLabService cloud server or to Sci-Edge when the site needs local edge processing. When the network is unavailable, SciBox can continue local acquisition, write readings to its built-in buffer, and backfill the offline data to the cloud server after connectivity is restored.
Utilization terminal for instrument power patterns
SciSocket monitors instrument power behavior, then works with iLabService's proprietary utilization algorithm to convert electrical patterns into equipment usage and utilization evidence.
Access-control terminal for cabinets and storage
SciLock connects with Inventory and Samples workflows to control access to cabinets, boxes, and controlled storage, replacing offline physical-key management with traceable permissions.

Fume hood note
Fume hoods are treated as EHS containment assets, not generic room IAQ points. Typical evaluation focuses on face velocity, sash position, local alarms, response history, and safety-review evidence.
AIoT hardware series
Seven hardware series, with product images, device roles, and deployment context.
The series below describe the configurable hardware families that turn lab conditions, equipment behavior, utility state, and inventory actions into governed operational evidence.
Cold storage temperature
Chamber Temperature Monitoring Series
A temperature, compressor-status, and access-monitoring bundle for refrigerators, freezers, cryogenic storage areas, transport containers, and sample storage rooms. Temperature sensors provide continuous internal readings, while SciBox can combine temperature, compressor behavior, door status, and power context so teams see early compressor risk before cooling failure becomes a sample-threatening excursion.
Application scenarios
Freezers, fridges, cryotanks, dry-ice boxes, transport containers, sample storage rooms, and cold-chain points that need temperature history, compressor early-warning, door status, and actionable alarm context.
Hardware devices
- Temperature Sensor
- Door Status Sensor
- Compressor status / power-pattern capture
- SciBox
- LoRa Temperature Sensor
- LoRa Gateway
Connectivity and workflow
- Wi-Fi where available
- LoRa with gateway for areas without Wi-Fi
- Compressor-risk alerts before temperature excursion
- Compressor power-pattern monitoring requires SciSocket or smart power-socket capture in applicable freezer deployments
- Guardian alert and response history
Equipment conditions
Equipment Monitoring Series
A condition-monitoring series for laboratory equipment such as incubators, shakers, chambers, and baths. It captures internal temperature, humidity, CO2, door disturbance, and power-state context where available, then routes abnormal conditions into Guardian notifications.
Application scenarios
Incubators, shakers, chambers, and controlled equipment where CO2 drift, temperature or humidity instability, door disturbance, or power events can affect cultivation, reliability, or experiment traceability.
Hardware devices
- SciBox
- Temperature Sensor
- Humidity Sensor
- CO2 Sensor
- LoRa Temperature and Humidity Sensor
- Gateway
Connectivity and workflow

Room environments
Environmental Monitoring Series
A lab-environment monitoring series for real-time room-level conditions. It supports temperature, humidity, light, CO2, HCHO, TVOC, barometric pressure, PM2.5, PM10, motion, differential pressure, and other signals that help explain room safety and experiment context.
Application scenarios
Labs, vivariums, cleanrooms, gas supply rooms, warehouses, and other controlled spaces that need room-level environmental evidence.
Hardware devices
- IAQ Sensor
- Temperature and Humidity Sensor
- Differential Pressure Sensor
- SciBox
- LoRa Sensor
- Gateway
Connectivity and workflow

- Room-level anomaly notification
- Space, Guardian, EHS, and facility workflows
Gas and utilities
Gas Pipeline Monitoring Series
A configurable gas-safety and utility-monitoring series for rooms, cylinder areas, manifolds, and specialty gas lines. For labs that still use cylinder supply, camera-based gauge reading can recognize analog pressure-dial pointer values, trigger low-pressure alerts, and route supplier refill workflows before experiments are interrupted by an empty cylinder. It also helps EHS teams evaluate oxygen depletion or enrichment, combustible or toxic gas risk, supply pressure, leak alarms, and response evidence as one governed workflow.
Application scenarios
Gas rooms, cylinder storage, specialty gas supply points, LN2 or cryogenic areas with oxygen-risk monitoring needs, and lab areas where manual gauge rounds, low cylinder pressure, or gas events can create safety exposure or interrupt experiments.
Hardware devices
- Camera smart gauge-reading module for analog pressure dials
- Gas detector or transmitter selected by gas type
- Oxygen sensor for depletion or enrichment risk
- Pressure, flow, cylinder, or manifold status inputs when available
- SciBox or gateway for local signal capture
Connectivity and workflow
- Gauge-reading thresholds for low cylinder pressure
- Gas-specific thresholds and EHS alarm routing
- Local alert escalation through Guardian or Sci-Edge
- Supplier refill notification and cylinder replacement workflow
- Acknowledgement, inspection, refill, and corrective-action records
- Context for downstream experiment or equipment exceptions
EHS evaluation note
Gas type, gauge range, pressure threshold, detection range, calibration ownership, alarm routing, supplier handoff, and response SOPs are confirmed per deployment, because oxygen, combustible gas, toxic gas, specialty gas, and cylinder-supply use cases should not share one generic configuration.
Equipment utilization
Equipment Utilization Series
A utilization-monitoring series with Wi-Fi and LoRa product categories. SciSocket uses Wi-Fi, while Power Socket uses LoRa. Both are designed for lab environments and provide real-time voltage, current, and power data so iLabService can analyze equipment utilization, including power-pattern signals that can support freezer compressor-status monitoring.
Application scenarios
Shared instruments, freezers, incubators, benches, and equipment fleets where usage is currently estimated from bookings, calendars, or manual observation.

Edge-ready hardware
Hardware becomes more useful when it can act close to the lab.
The AIoT hardware layer can feed platform workflows directly, or connect into the edge response layer (Sci-Edge) for offline-first local rules, agents, buffering, and edge AI compute. That is what lets a freezer alarm, a CO2 drift, an overloaded circuit, or an inventory scan become governed operational context rather than a disconnected device event.
