Rigado helps accelerate time-to-market, and includes monitoring tools, integration support, and software updates to ensure success in production environments.

• Cascade gateways provide optimized Bluetooth or custom mesh coverage and can be connected to the Internet using Ethernet or LTE.

• Edge Connect filters and processes data for the cloud; it is also pre-integrated with AWS IoT Greengrass
  

• Rigado includes remote monitoring and management tools for adding new edge applications and delivering security upgrades.
  

Retail pharmacies require accurate temperature monitoring to ensure biologics, OTC drugs, and vaccines remain safe-to-give. Onset, a leader in traditional temperature monitoring, had an existing solution that relied on one-to-one Bluetooth connections with their temperature loggers. The process required significant time from employees to keep store data up-to-date and maintain regulatory compliance.

With the new solution, the Onset temperature monitor sends individual logger temperature data via Bluetooth Low Energy to the Rigado gateway, where it is centrally processed and sent at scheduled intervals to the InTempConnect cloud-based data platform – whose data excursions trigger automatic email and SMS notifications.

By leveraging Rigado wireless edge infrastructure, Onset has been able to successfully roll out their InTemp temperature monitoring solution to over 500 healthcare sites and retail pharmacies across the US, ensuring flexibility and compliance across national chains and pharmaceutical companies and reducing employee workload per site.
