01Night-time failures
Every unit live, around the clock.
- Freezers, cold rooms, product probes and doors on one screen and a wall display
- AI projects drift forward — which unit breaches next, and roughly when
Act before the limit, not after
OperationsColdWatch · GxP temperature monitoring
Every freezer, every minute, on the record.
For pharma, labs, blood banks and food cold chains running freezers from −80 °C to cold rooms at 2–8 °C. Live monitoring on the sensors you already have, alarms that escalate until someone acts, AI that says which unit will breach next — and an audit trail your QA team can hand to an inspector.
- BACnet · Modbus on existing sensors
- ALCOA+ audit trail
- IQ / OQ / PQ documents included
WhySound familiar?
Three things we hear in every first conversation.
From QA heads, warehouse managers and facility engineers in regulated cold chains. Composite quotes from discovery calls — the problems are real; the names are left out.
-
“The freezer failed at 2 am. We found out at the 8 am round.”
Six hours of excursion before anyone knew, and a batch that now has to be investigated or destroyed.
Warehouse managerBatches lost overnight
-
“The alarm went to one person, who was asleep.”
A single SMS or a local buzzer, with no escalation and no record of who saw it.
Facility engineerAlarms nobody acted on
-
“The inspector asked for six months of evidence.”
Readings, alarm acknowledgements and calibration records scattered across paper, exports and email.

HowWhat changes with ColdWatch
The same three problems, on the screens that solve them.
Real ColdWatch screens running on simulated demo sensors.
02Unseen alarms
A warning before the alarm, and an alarm nobody can miss.
- AI flags units drifting toward a limit, with an estimated time to breach
- Alarms escalate by screen, email, SMS and push until acknowledged with a comment
Nothing waits for the morning round
03Audit scramble
Evidence that assembles itself.
- An append-only ALCOA+ audit trail of every reading, alarm and action
- Reports to PDF and Excel, with IQ/OQ/PQ documents delivered
Inspection-ready, every day

01The screens
Not a mock-up. This is the product.
Ten real screens: monitoring, alarms, trends, excursion analytics, AI predictions, calibration, reports, the audit trail and the security centre.

Illustrative data
Every freezer and cold room live, with active alarms, open excursions and AI risk predictions.
Real screens of ColdWatch running on simulated demo sensors.
02Before and after
Most cold rooms are checked by a person with a clipboard.
An excursion found on the next round is already a deviation. ColdWatch turns every reading into evidence and every alarm into an action.
| Area | Today | With ColdWatch |
|---|---|---|
| Excursions | Found on the next manual round | Alarm in seconds, by screen, email, SMS and push — escalated until acknowledged |
| Prediction | None — the breach is the first signal | Drift projected forward: which unit breaches next, and roughly when |
| Investigations | Paper logs and memory | Excursion register with shift, severity, duration and root-cause indicators |
| Calibration | A spreadsheet someone forgets | Due dates tracked, reminders at 30/15/7 days, overdue alarms |
| Audits | Weeks assembling evidence | ALCOA+ audit trail and validation documents ready on day one |
03Sensor to audit trail
Eight steps, nothing left to memory.
Built on the protocols your building-management equipment already speaks.
-
01
Sensors read
BACnet/IP · Modbus TCP
Freezers, cold rooms, product probes and door contacts polled from existing field equipment.
-
02
Checked against limits
Alarm engine
High, low, rate-of-change, comms gap and sensor failure — with criticality.
-
03
People told
Escalation
Pop-up and sound on screen, then email, SMS and mobile push; repeated and escalated until acknowledged.
-
04
Acknowledged with a reason
Mandatory comment
Every acknowledgement and closure carries a comment and a justification.
-
05
Excursion recorded
Register
Duration, peak, shift and severity captured automatically.
-
06
Cause suggested
AI
Drift, anomalies and patterns point to compressor, door, loading or sensor placement.
-
07
Reported
PDF · Excel
Daily to monthly reports and an AI-written management summary.
-
08
On the record
ALCOA+
Every reading, alarm and action kept in an append-only, time-stamped audit trail.
04The platform
Monitor, predict, prove — in one validated system.
Built for GxP: regulated pharma, vaccines, blood banks, labs and food cold chains.

FAQQuestions we get about ColdWatch
Straight answers, before the call.
ColdWatch is an Autowhat AI product for QA heads, warehouse managers and facility engineers in regulated cold chains. Short, factual answers for buyers, procurement and the assistants people ask first.
In short. ColdWatch is an Autowhat AI product for QA heads, warehouse managers and facility engineers in regulated cold chains. It is built for QA heads, warehouse managers and facility engineers in regulated cold chains. It exists to remove the problems those teams describe in almost every first conversation: a freezer fails at 2 am and the 8 am round finds it; and one SMS to one person who was asleep — no escalation, no record. With ColdWatch, teams get every unit live around the clock, on screen and on a wall display, and AI time-to-breach warnings; escalation by screen, email, SMS and push until acknowledged. It connects to BACnet/IP, Modbus, 21 CFR Part 11 style trail and SMS / push / email, is used by QA · facilities · warehouse, and runs on web + wall display. Like every Autowhat AI product, ColdWatch goes live on one site, lane or process first, usually within weeks, on managed cloud, in your own VPC or on-premises, and shares one operational record with the other products, so the second deployment reuses the data and integrations of the first.

With a 30-minute working session on your own data — an engineer from the relevant sector, not a sales queue. The first wave is scoped in that call; most products go live on one site, lane or process within weeks and then scale.
Where does ColdWatch run, and who owns the data?
On managed cloud, in your own VPC (AWS, Azure or GCP) or on-premises, with your keys. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 controls, India data residency when required, and local or open-weight models when policy demands it. The data stays yours.
