Highlights
LumiCore Systems turned wired loggers into a wireless service by adding RAK7268V2C gateways and the WisDM dashboard. The new LoRaWAN backbone sends secure data across hospital labs, food plants, and warehouses without extra wiring or fees. Staff can remotely onboard gateways using the WisDM dashboard without field-side setup. It also helps to transfer updates and reports to fleets and spot issues before they cause any losses. Clients stay compliant, cut waste, and trust every reading from the production line to the delivery truck.
Problem Statement
- Many labs, hospitals, and logistics providers still rely on wired data loggers. Cables slow retrofits, restrict device placement, and break during routine work. Teams need a wireless upgrade that keeps every reading accurate and never interrupts critical operations.
- Regulated industries struggle to prove that every temperature and humidity reading is accurate and secure. Existing networks transmit data with weak safeguards and offer poor fleet-management tools. This leaves IT teams exposed to compliance gaps and costly audits; therefore, they need a network that transfers data records to the cloud with enterprise-grade encryption.
LumiCore Systems International Ltd Overview
LumiCore Systems International Ltd is a New Zealand-based company. They have established themselves as a global leader in the manufacture and export of temperature and humidity monitoring equipment. The organization serves a professional market that includes laboratories, hospitals, blood services, food processing, industrial, and logistics companies. Being in the industry for a long time, LumiCore Systems' products are distinguished by their accuracy, precision, reliability, and comprehensive support.
Innovation and Accreditation
For over two decades, LumiCore Systems has been at the top of innovation in data logging and temperature monitoring solutions. One of their key differentiators is the integration of calibration corrections into each calibrated logger. This eliminates the need for users to apply correction formulas to downloaded data. The feature significantly reduces the potential for error and showcases LumiCore Systems' precision and ease of use.
LumiCore Systems earned ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation for its calibration laboratory and ISO 9001:2015 certification for its quality management system. These certifications validate their professionalism and also reinforce their position as industry experts.
RAKwireless, Closing Compliance Gaps with Big Savings
Keeping a constant eye on temperature looks simple on paper. However, it breaks down the moment a cooler sits in a blind spot, a data cable snaps, or a Wi-Fi signal weakens behind a metal wall. Hospitals lose vaccines, food plants halt production, and warehouses scramble to explain these missing logs.
LumiCore Systems supplies the calibrated loggers and the strict accuracy that healthcare and industry demand. However, they still needed a network that never quits and a tool set that keeps every site in sync. RAKwireless provided that missing layer. Battery-powered LoRaWAN loggers speak to a single RAK7268V2C gateway that pushes encrypted data to WisDM, all without extra wiring and roaming fees.
LumiCore Systems has leveraged RAKwireless to transition its solutions from wired to wireless systems. LoRaWAN carries data over long indoor ranges while using very little power. Also, having a private network keeps sensitive readings inside the customer’s own infrastructure. This shift allows them to tap into retrofit opportunities within their professional client base and address more complex market needs.
The table below shows how this change from RAKwireless brings real savings and stronger compliance in very different settings for LumiCore Systems.
| Where the Problem Appears? | What Usually Goes Wrong? | How the LumiCore Systems + RAKwireless Setup Fixes It? | Real-World Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hospitals & Blood Banks | Refrigerators and freezers hold vaccines, blood, and medicines. Power blips or door-left-open events go unnoticed until the next manual check. | WisDM monitors gateway health and connectivity through a RAK7268V2C gateway to the customer’s cloud platform. Staff get instant alerts on any temperature drift. | Nurses act before vials spoil. Costly product loss and patient-safety risks drop to near-zero. |
| Research Laboratories | Incubators and ultra-cold freezers need strict ranges for experiments. Wired probes clutter clean rooms and limit cabinet placement. | Battery-powered loggers attach without cables. The private RAK network sends encrypted data straight to the cloud, keeping benches clear. | Scientists trust the data, place equipment anywhere, and pass audits without extra wiring projects. |
| Food-Processing Plants | Blast chillers and smokehouses cycle through harsh wash-downs. Metal walls block Wi-Fi, and failed sensors leave gaps in HACCP records. | IP-rated loggers survive wash-downs. RAK LoRa signals punch through metal, and WisDM notifies teams if any gateway or node goes silent or offline. | QA teams show continuous proof of compliance; batches stay on schedule instead of in quarantine. |
| Industrial Warehouses | Ambient and cold zones sit hundreds of meters apart. Pulling Ethernet or adding repeaters is expensive and slows expansion. | One rooftop RAK gateway covers the whole site; solar or PoE options fit any building. Devices roam without reprogramming. | Operations scale quickly. New aisles or buildings join the network in hours, not weeks. |
| Logistics & Distribution | Mixed cargo loads cross borders. Cellular roaming is costly, and USB data loggers reveal problems only after delivery. | Portable LumiCore Systems loggers capture readings in transit; when pallets reach a RAK-equipped hub, data uploads automatically via LoRaWAN. | Carriers prove cold-chain integrity on arrival, settle claims faster, and protect brand reputation. |
RAKwireless does more than move data. It turns a collection of loggers into a live safety net that scales from a single freezer room to an international cold chain. When every reading is recorded, and each alert arrives on time, you meet regulations, cut waste, and protect your brand with one reliable LoRaWAN network.
WisDM, A Useful Tool in Network Management For LoRaWAN
RAKwireless's WisDM tool has been a critical component in this transformation.
When your network grows from a few sites to hundreds, keeping every gateway and sensor running smoothly becomes a huge job.
Provisioning a new gateway by hand can take hours. Updating firmware on dozens of devices opens the door to simple but costly errors. Finding a single failing node in a sea of thousands can feel impossible until that one silent sensor brings everything to a halt.
WisDM puts every tool and metric into one clear web dashboard and simplifies all of that.
WisDM puts every tool and metric into one clear web dashboard and simplifies all of that.
- Adding a new gateway to your cloud dashboard is fast and doesn’t require any field-side configuration.
- You can send configuration and firmware updates across your entire fleet from one place.
- You can watch live performance stats for every RAK gateway, including signal metrics and packet traffic.
- The dashboard alerts you the moment a gateway goes offline or has connectivity issues.
- When a device stops reporting, you can get straight into its record, fix the problem, and have it back online, all without stepping into a server room.
A new WisDM release is on the way, which brings one of our most requested features yet: ‘gateway relocation’. With this feature, once you upgrade, you can move any gateway from one site to another without unassigning or reconfiguring it. You simply plug the gateway into its new location, and it will automatically load the exact settings it had before. No extra steps and field visits will be required. With WisDM, you gain real control over your LoRaWAN network.
LumiCore Systems is eagerly anticipating this update. It will allow them to have fewer mistakes and even smoother operations across every facility. Flexible network management like this keeps professional environments ahead.
