Protect Your Research
Monitoring is the core: airflow, pressure and alarms in every Innovive rack, the right people alerted, every event kept. Around that, RackNet is growing into the rest of the vivarium's work.
Know what's happening. Show what happened.
Why RackNet?
Wireless monitoring for Innovive racks, with the depth that comes from reading the controller itself rather than clipping a sensor onto the rack.
Continuous monitoring
Every rack, 24 × 7 × 365 — not a daily walk-round with a clipboard.
Instant alerts on any device
Problems reach the right people immediately, wherever they are.
Complete airflow history
View and export the full record of rack airflow performance over time.
A status report every day
The same email at the same time, saying whether every rack is OK.
Room environment
Optionally monitor temperature, humidity and light in any room.
Maintenance tracking
Intervals, notifications, and a permanent historical record. (Q1 2027)
Features
Cloud based
RackNet 2.0 is a cloud-based system for monitoring Innovive IVC racks, using redundant, fault-tolerant services for reliability and uptime.
- Automatic redundancy and scalability
- No IT support required
- No local backups to maintain
- Nothing to install on your network
Wireless, but not WiFi
RackNet 2.0 is wireless, and does not rely on facility WiFi.
- No cables to connect
- No IT WiFi support
- Better reliability
All Innovive racks supported
All Innovive racks since the 3.0 series are supported. RackNet 2.0 works only with Innovive racks, and is tailored to the Innorack IVC system digital controllers.
Unmatched integration
RackNet 2.0 is developed and run by the creator of the original RackNet. Because it reads the controller’s own airflow and differential-pressure data, it sees things a generic monitoring system cannot.
Monitoring
- Monitor every type of Innovive rack
- ACH and differential pressure in each rack
- System and power alarms
- Room environment: temperature, humidity and light levels (optional)
Notifications
- Daily status email
- Email, SMS and WhatsApp alerts
- Notification when airflow changes
- Room environment conditions (optional)
Data collection
- A complete log of every alert
- Airflow history for each rack
- Temperature, humidity and light levels (optional)
- Rich event logging
- Export data for further analysis
Try it on your own racks
The 5×5×5 trial monitors five racks for five weeks for $500, with all hardware included. The easiest way to see whether it earns its place in your facility.
If the annual plan is not the right next step, keep using the trial hardware and email alerts at no cost.
