Get real-time equipment-specific metrics, alert and warning notifications, and more detailed equipment parameters to map to your experiments.
Map ambient room sensors to specific rooms, sensors to equipment, name your sensors, book the equipment and see specific metrics against the individual sensors.
If you don’t yet have sensors in your lab, and are interested in using our asset monitoring integration, get in touch with our lab specialists who will talk you through the sensors available and how we can help you get them set up and running in your lab.
Essentim develops modular IoT sensor-and-cloud systems for laboratory and cold/ambient chain monitoring. They offer hardware, firmware, software, and consultancy to make real-time process data transparent.
Build a structured, searchable directory of your lab equipment and enrich it with metadata, location information, and purchase price.
Make availability clear to lab users, let teams book shared instruments with confidence, and avoid double bookings.
Give your team the visibility and control to reduce idle time and maximise usage across shared equipment.
Prevent downtime through visible maintenance tracking, safer access, and smarter user controls.
Make confident decisions with clean usage data so you can see what's being used, what isn't, where, and why.
Turn lab usage data into a structured foundation: exportable, filterable, and ready for integration with your ELN, AI, or BI platforms.
“We get an extremely granular view of how every piece of equipment is being used down to the exact minute.”
“Without it, we probably would have bought more kit than we really needed. Calira gave us the visibility to see where we could share or reallocate instead.”
“The most valuable aspect is the visibility among the users—knowing what’s available to book. From a LabOps perspective, it’s become our record management system for servicing, embedded into our SOPs.”
“Calira helped us improve our equipment usage and planning processes within our teams. It's also handy for me to have oversight of the utilization of our instruments.”
"Calira has improved the process of booking laboratory equipment in our R&D teams, created visibility across teams, improved insight into real time equipment status and allowed us to gather data for equipment usage with ease.”
"I haven't needed to log in in the last two weeks to sort anything out. Scheduling runs quite a lot smoother now."
Essentim is an IoT sensor platform that measures environmental conditions and equipment-specific metrics. The Calira-Essentim integration shows real-time sensor data alongside bookings, so you can see equipment temperature, humidity, or other parameters at the moment of a scheduled run. This is particularly useful for cold chain, incubators, and environmentally sensitive instruments.
Essentim makes modular IoT sensors for laboratory and cold/ambient chain monitoring: temperature, humidity, pressure, and other environmental parameters. Sensors can be mapped to specific rooms or to individual pieces of equipment, giving you ambient room data as well as instrument-specific readings.
Yes. The integration surfaces alert and warning notifications from Essentim inside Calira, so you can see both the booking context and the sensor condition in one place. Out-of-range events can be tied back to the booking that was running at the time, which supports incident investigation and compliance.
Calira's team can connect you with the Essentim team if you're interested in the integration but don't yet have sensors deployed.
We know that every lab is different. Our team has years of experience in the lab and can answer any question you have and demo the whole platform in less than thirty minutes.
