Heat Stress Monitor
SCADACore’s Heat Stress Monitoring System for 3M QUESTemp is Cloud-Ready, allowing clients to access real-time heat stress data remotely. A hosted-monitoring option and a data-push-to-SCADA option allows clients the flexibility of choosing the capability that suits their industrial operation.
Ensure the safety of your employees and comply with regulations by monitoring for Humidity and Heat Stress to protect workers from extreme working conditions with real-time trending and callout notifications.
Heat stress monitoring is a requirement for most health agencies. Work involving high temperatures, high humidity, or strenuous physical activities have a potential for causing heat stress in workers. Warehouses, factories, outdoor labor, shipping yards, or anywhere where heat and humidity could potentially be a health concern, should be monitored with a heat stress monitoring system.

SCADACore Cloud-Ready Heat Stress Packages
SCADACore Heat Stress Packages are Cloud-Ready weather-proof enclosures that measure temperature, humidity, heat-index, WBGT, and more.

Humidex / Heat Index Package
Enhance Heat Stress Monitor Capabilities with Remote Data Access and Alarm Notifications
There is no need to physically walk to the local display and manually alert personnel. SCADACore’s online heat stress monitoring provides remote access to the Heat Stress Monitor data anytime, anywhere for $60/month.
There are no thermometers or hygrometers to manual check and notify staff. Using SCADACore’s intelligent Email / SMS / Voice callout system, alerts can be sent to dozens of individuals at once, notifying them of precautions that need to be taken.
Current & Historical Conditions
Heat Stress Monitors have local display and data logging capabilities, but getting that data is highly inconvenient. SCADACore’s IIoT Live Heat Stress Monitoring provides data that are polled from the Heat Stress Monitor and are stored in our secure cloud databases. The data is then analyzed and color-coded, and are displayed with historical data for simple, convenient access.
Alarm Conditions & History
Standalone Heat Stress Monitors only have local alarming capabilities, and they are unable to alert supervisors who are not in close proximity. With SCADACore’s Heat Stress Monitoring, foremen and supervisors can be notified anywhere. SCADACore provides comprehensive alert notification functionality, allowing personnel to get Email, Text, or Voice Call alerts for escalating alarm conditions.

Trending and Data Archival
Manually getting local data logs, and charting the data in Excel is an antiquated process. SCADACore obtains data from any Heat Stress Monitors and takes care of all the logging and charting for you. IIoT Live’s trending capabilities allow foremen, supervisors, and industrial hygienists to identify times of the day when heat stress can be dangerous to the employees.
Heat Stress Monitor Applications
Tradesmen/Landscapers
Labourers and tradespeople such as Road Crews, farmers, framers, welders, pipe fitters, landscapers, and construction crews are a susceptible to heat stroke and heat related injuries. A portable remote monitoring unit can be set up and send text messages reminding employees to take caution whenever a threshold is reached. A simple message such as “Take 5 minute break and drink liquids” could help prevent serious injury.
Factories/Warehouses
Indoor warehouses are difficult to cool in hot summer months. Permanent monitoring stations can be set up with local displays or callouts to allow employees to monitor their own heat-stress safety levels.
SMS and Email messages to supervisors or foremen add an additonal level of alarming to help keep your employee’s safe.
Mining
Due to the enclosed nature of mining heat exhaustion can be a concern. Wired monitoring allows communications to reach SCADACore and signal supervisors above ground, while SCADACore Alarm Stations can notify workers under ground.
Welding/Fabrication
Welders and fabricators deal with high heat all day long and are sometimes unaware of the dangers of ambient consistent heat and humidity. The SCADACore alarm stations can notify the workers and supervisors when it is time to drink more water and take a break from work.
Shipyards
Humidity in shipyards is always a concern during the hot summer months. Although temperatures can sometimes remain relatively low the humidity drives the heat-index and WBGT up causing concern for the workers. SCADACore alarm stations can ensure there are adequate warnings in place to keep your employees safe.
Construction
Long-term construction projects can require an immense safety presence on-site. Heat exhaustion is often overlook as it is not an immediate danger to most employees. SCADACore Alarm Stations and remote callouts can keep your employees safe while you are focusing on more pressing dangers.
Military
Military training activities in hot environments pose significant risks. SCADACore’s Cloud-Ready Heat Stress remote monitoring and alarm notifications can assist in preventing heat-related illness associated with military training and exercises.
Athletics
Athletes might sometimes experience heat stress during training, resulting in an increased risk of heat-related illness. SCADACore provides Cloud-Ready Heat Stress remote monitoring and alarm notifications that can assist in preventing the effect of heat stress by alerting users of high heat levels.
