Extreme heat poses serious risks to workers in outdoor and industrial settings. Monitoring temperature in real time is essential to prevent heat-related illnesses and ensure safety compliance. The ProSense 4G Live Temperature Monitoring Kit offers a reliable, industrial-grade solution designed specifically for harsh environments. It provides continuous temperature tracking, instant alerts, and long-term operation to keep worksites safe and compliant.
Real-Time Temperature Monitoring for Safety
The core strength of the ProSense 4G Kit lies in its ability to deliver real-time temperature data directly to supervisors and safety managers. Using 4G NB-IoT or CAT-M1 cellular connectivity, the sensor transmits live readings to the cloud, accessible from computers or smartphones anywhere. This constant stream of data allows teams to:
Track temperature changes as they happen
Detect dangerous heat levels before they become emergencies
Respond quickly with alerts sent automatically when thresholds are exceeded
This proactive approach helps prevent heat stress and related injuries by ensuring that supervisors have immediate access to critical environmental information.
Designed for Harsh Outdoor Conditions
Many temperature sensors struggle in tough environments, but the ProSense 4G Kit is built to last. Its weatherproof IP-rated enclosure protects sensitive electronics from dust, rain, and extreme temperatures. The sensor operates accurately from –55 °C to +125 °C with a typical accuracy of ±0.5 °C, making it suitable for a wide range of outdoor industrial sites such as:
Construction zones
Mining operations
Agricultural fields
Utility and heavy equipment areas
The rugged design ensures reliable performance even in the most demanding conditions, reducing downtime and maintenance needs.
Long-Term, Low-Power Operation
One of the biggest challenges in remote monitoring is power supply. The ProSense 4G Kit addresses this with an ultra-low-power design combined with a large-capacity battery. For sites with limited access to power, an optional solar panel can provide continuous energy, enabling years of unattended operation. This means:
Minimal maintenance visits
Reduced operational costs
Consistent data collection without interruptions
The sensor also includes onboard data logging, which stores temperature readings locally during network outages and automatically uploads them once connectivity returns. This feature guarantees no loss of critical data.
Easy Setup and Maintenance
Setting up and managing the ProSense 4G Kit is straightforward. Configuration is done via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), allowing technicians to adjust alarm thresholds and settings on-site using a smartphone or tablet. Firmware updates are delivered wirelessly through Over-the-Air (OTA) updates, eliminating the need for manual intervention or device retrieval.
This ease of use helps safety teams deploy and maintain the system quickly, ensuring continuous protection without complex technical support.
Integration with ProSight Cloud Dashboard
For organizations seeking centralized monitoring, the ProSense 4G Kit offers optional integration with the ProSight Cloud Dashboard. This platform provides:
Live temperature data visualization
Customizable alarms and notifications
Historical data analytics for compliance reporting
Easy access for multiple users across locations
By consolidating data in one place, safety managers can identify trends, plan preventive actions, and demonstrate compliance with workplace safety regulations.
Practical Applications and Benefits
The ProSense 4G Live Temperature Monitoring Kit fits a variety of industries and use cases:
Construction and outdoor worksites: Monitor heat stress risks for workers exposed to sun and machinery heat.
Mining and utilities: Track temperature in hazardous zones where overheating equipment or environmental conditions pose dangers.
Agriculture: Ensure crops and livestock are protected from extreme heat, improving yield and animal welfare.
Heavy equipment areas: Prevent equipment failures caused by overheating, reducing downtime and repair costs.
By providing continuous, accurate temperature data and instant alerts, the system helps reduce heat-related incidents, protect worker health, and maintain regulatory compliance.
