Protecting What Matters: Introducing Wetness Detection by PharmaWatch®

As the winter season settles across much of the Northern Hemisphere, moisture is never far behind. Rain, snow, and ice make their way into loading docks, cold rooms, and storage areas and when temperatures drop, frozen pipes and unexpected leaks can quickly lead to costly water damage.

At PharmaWatch™, we understand that environmental monitoring goes beyond temperature and humidity. That’s why we’ve developed a wetness detection solution, an elegant extension of our proven dry contact sensor platform to help our clients detect and respond to unwanted moisture before it becomes a major issue.

Early Detection, Real-Time Response

The PharmaWatch Wetness Detection solution continuously monitors for the presence of water or other conductive liquids in critical areas such as:

• Walk-in refrigerators and freezers
• Liquid Nitrogen (LN₂) cryostorage and tank rooms
• Pharmacy and tissue storage facilities
• Server rooms and data closets
• Mechanical spaces or areas prone to pipe failure

When moisture is detected, the system immediately generates an alert through the PharmaWatch platform, enabling your team to respond before damage occurs, protecting both your facility and the valuable inventory it contains.

Designed for Reliability

• Integrates seamlessly with existing PharmaWatch radios via the dry contact channel
• Fully compatible with cellular or WiFi telemetry for real-time visibility
• Uses low-voltage sensing technology for safe, continuous operation
• Available in configurations suitable for floor-level detection or targeted placement near high-risk equipment

Why It Matters

Water damage doesn’t just disrupt operations, it can compromise product integrity, calibration equipment, and regulatory compliance. Whether it’s a slow leak, condensation event, or burst pipe, early notification means the difference between a small cleanup and a major loss.

PharmaWatch’s wetness detection capability adds yet another layer of environmental intelligence to our monitoring platform, helping clients stay one step ahead, even when conditions outside turn harsh.

Now available as an optional extension for any PharmaWatch Dry Contact channel, simple, smart, and compliant.
