Warehouse Temperature & Humidity Monitoring
Remote Temperature and Humidity Monitoring for Warehouses
Warehouses and logistics facilities deal with large spaces, frequent door openings, changing airflow and varied storage conditions. The SensMax SensGuard remote temperature and humidity monitoring system helps maintain stable environmental conditions across all storage zones, protect goods from climate-related damage and support reliable operational planning. The system provides real-time visibility and instant notifications so warehouse teams can react to issues before they escalate.
What this solution does
SensGuard gives warehouse operators continuous control over temperature and humidity conditions in all zones of the facility. The system is designed for large-scale environments where conditions can vary significantly between aisles, high racks, loading docks and isolated storage rooms. Wireless sensors constantly collect environmental data and automatically alert responsible staff if values drift outside allowed limits.
The system helps prevent damage caused by HVAC malfunctions, unexpected humidity spikes, prolonged door openings, poor ventilation or sunlight exposure near unloading areas. With early alerts, warehouses can avoid costly product losses, protect packaging integrity and maintain consistent conditions for temperature-sensitive goods.
Where you can use it
- Distribution warehouses – monitoring conditions across multiple storage halls and long aisles.
- Logistics centers – controlling climate during receiving, cross-docking and dispatch operations.
- Dry material warehouses – tracking humidity levels for cardboard, powders, packaging and ingredients.
- High-rack storage – monitoring temperature variation at different height levels.
- Semi-outdoor or unheated storage areas – detecting rapid changes caused by weather or ventilation.

How the SensGuard system works
Warehouses experience frequent environmental fluctuations due to forklifts, loading bay traffic, ventilation cycles or changes in HVAC performance. SensGuard monitors these variations in real time and generates alarms only when deviations are meaningful and sustained. You can configure individual temperature and humidity thresholds for each sensor and set allowed violation time to avoid false alerts during brief operational peaks.
SensGuard monitoring architecture for large-scale warehouse environments.
The system includes three components:
- Wireless temperature and humidity sensors installed across aisles, racks and storage rooms.
- The SensMax TCP LR X2 gateway, which collects all sensor readings and sends them to the cloud.
- SensGuard cloud software that visualises current conditions, alerts and long-term trends.
Sensors are designed for industrial environments, featuring waterproof and dust-resistant housings and a nonflammable battery with up to 5 years of operation. The gateway supports up to 250 wireless sensors within a 150 m radius (up to 500 m with repeaters), making it suitable for multi-hall and large-floor warehouses. Built-in buffer memory ensures data is preserved during temporary Internet outages.
Hardware used in this solution
Warehouse layouts vary significantly. SensMax offers several wireless temperature and humidity sensors to match different storage conditions, ceiling heights and zone types.
| Device | Type | Temperature range | Accuracy | Resolution | Battery / Power | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MCP9800 wireless temperature sensor | Waterproof sensor | −20°C…+55°C | ±0.5°C | 0.1°C | up to 5 years | General warehouse aisles, storage rooms, and areas near loading docks. |
| ENS210 wireless temperature & humidity sensor | Temperature & humidity sensor | −20°C…+55°C / 0–100% RH | ±0.5°C / ±3.5% RH | 0.1°C | up to 5 years | Humidity-sensitive zones such as packaging storage, mezzanines or high-rack areas. |
| DS18B20 probe-type wireless temperature sensor | Probe sensor | −30°C…+120°C | ±0.5°C | 0.1°C | up to 5 years | Special temperature-critical zones or equipment requiring direct probe measurement. |
Reporting and compliance
SensGuard helps maintain stable warehouse conditions by providing real-time alerts, historical analytics and reliable documentation for quality audits. The system logs all temperature and humidity events, alarm durations and comments, allowing managers to quickly trace environmental issues and ensure compliance with internal standards or contractual storage requirements.
Recommended configuration for a typical warehouse
- 10–50 wireless sensors depending on facility size and number of monitored zones.
- 1–2 SensMax TCP LR X2 gateways with LAN/Internet connection.
- SensGuard cloud accounts for warehouse management, operations staff and technical personnel.
- Automatic notifications via e-mail and Telegram messenger for staff on duty.
SensGuard cloud software
The cloud platform gives warehouse teams a full overview of environmental conditions across all zones. Users can:
- view real-time readings for every storage area on a single dashboard;
- upload a warehouse map and place sensors to easily locate problem zones;
- set individual min/max ranges and custom violation times for each sensor;
- assign users to specific halls, chambers or storage rooms;
- review detailed alarm history and comments added by staff;
- analyse long-term temperature and humidity trends to detect HVAC or ventilation issues early;
- export data in CSV and PDF formats for audits and investigations.
