Measurement instruments expert, Vaisala, has launched a cloud-based environmental monitoring (EM) service to the market.
This new product, named Viewlinc Cloud Suite, is designed to be a cloud-based addition that integrates existing Vaisala measurement and EM technology.
Being a "cloud-based" service removes the need for clients to maintain their own monitoring infrastructure, such as a local application server, and reduces the associated IT workload.
Without this need, Vaisala says that the service allows the organisation to "focus on operations".
The service allows two different editions for varying applications; Viewlinc CS Professional Edition and Viewlinc CS GxP Edition.
Viewlinc CS Professional Edition for industrial and commercial environments, including environmental monitoring in healthcare facilities, logistics, museums, archives, and research institutions, and condition monitoring applications for power infrastructure.
Viewlinc CS GxP Edition for regulated life science environments, including pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and medical device manufacturing.
The GxP Edition adds capabilities for GxP compliance, including continuous validation and GxP documentation, while the Professional Edition supports applications that require reliable monitoring without the same compliance and validation requirements.
Organizations can choose the edition that best fits their operational, monitoring and regulatory requirements, including whether their application operates in a GxP-regulated environment. Vaisala Care for Viewlinc will be available in markets worldwide, excluding China, by Q4 2026. It will initially be available in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa by the end of 2026.
"The next breakthrough therapy, diagnostic method or biotechnology innovation may begin in a single laboratory," said Jarno Mitjonen, Manager, Software Products, Vaisala's Industrial Measurements business. “A single undetected equipment failure can put years of research at risk, delay a product launch or compromise valuable materials. Organisations need monitoring that protects critical assets and conditions from the start and continues supporting them as their work evolves.”
The launch is also complemented by Vaisala Care for Viewlinc, a lifecycle services offering available in selected markets.
The offering includes two service tiers:
- Vaisala Care, a structured package of essential lifecycle services
- Vaisala Care+, a premium offering with more tailored lifecycle support
Services include expert support, remote training, planned system health checks and extended warranty coverage.
The offering helps customers strengthen user competence, improve audit readiness and maintain confidence in their monitoring systems over time.
