You may know RackNet supports collecting temperature, humidity, and light data for any room — even rooms without racks. But did you know you can visualize temperature, humidity, and light data, as well as download it for import into other applications?
Monitoring environmental conditions like temperature, humidity, and light is critical for optimizing any space—whether it’s a data center, a server room, or a facility containing Innovive Innoracks. With RackNet, you can do more than just collect this data; you can transform it into clear, actionable visualizations to spot trends, ensure optimal conditions, and make informed decisions. Plus, easily download your data for use in other applications. In this post, we’ll guide you through how to access, customize, and explore these powerful visualizations to get the most out of your RackNet service.
Preparing for inspection? RackNet’s temperature, humidity, and light visualizations make compliance effortless. With detailed data logs, exportable in CSV format, and customizable views of environmental trends, you can provide inspectors with clear, accurate records.

Meet AAALAC Inspection Standards
The Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (8th Edition) emphasizes consistent temperature and humidity monitoring to ensure animal welfare and research integrity. RackNet’s real-time data, customizable visualizations (e.g., 24-hour to 30-day views), and exportable CSV files make it easy to maintain and present records during AAALAC or USDA inspections. Track microenvironmental trends, address deviations proactively, and ensure compliance with the Guide’s standards.
