Rent Instead of Buy
High-quality hardware is too valuable to use just once. Reusing real-time data loggers and components like precision sensors and chip sets under predefined conditions enables attractive pricing models—so you only pay for what you need, based on usage time (including storage and operation during shipment), shipment frequency, and return rates (expected rate of returned equipment).
Reuse, Refurbish, Recycle
All devices provided under ELPRO’s Monitoring as a Service contribute to our circular economy. By reusing high-quality components under predefined conditions, we offer significant advantages over conventional sales models.
- Hardware and components are reused under carefully defined conditions.
- More cost-effective pricing models compared to traditional sales methods
- Comprehensive tracking of delivery and return for each data logger
- Each device undergoes rigorous testing and services (quality assurance checks, maintenance services).
- Validated runtime
No complex return logistics and declarations anymore.
ELPRO offers a flexible and efficient pick-up and reverse logistics service to return monitoring hardware to an ELPRO destination. It can be organized either by the customer or hassle-free and streamlined via the ELPRO Pick-up Service:
- Simple registration of data logger(s) for return via QR code
- Collection of devices individually or in bulk by ELPRO logistics partners
- Transport declaration process managed by ELPRO

Some More Questions and Answers Regarding ELPRO's Monitoring as a Service
What is cold chain monitoring?
Cold-chain monitoring refers to the process of tracking and managing the temperature and environmental conditions of products that require specific temperature ranges during transportation, storage, and handling. It is critical for products such as pharmaceuticals, vaccines, biologics, and certain food items, which can be compromised if exposed to temperatures outside their required ranges.
Cold-chain monitoring typically involves:
- Real-Time Tracking: Using sensors and data loggers to monitor temperature, humidity, and other conditions throughout the entire supply chain journey, from production to delivery.
- Alert Systems: Generating alerts if the temperature deviates from the specified range, allowing for immediate corrective actions to prevent product spoilage or damage.
- Compliance and Documentation: Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g., GxP, FDA) by providing documented evidence that the products were maintained under the required conditions.
- Data Logging: Collecting and storing data on temperature and environmental conditions during transit, enabling traceability and quality assurance.
Cold-chain monitoring ensures the safe and effective transport of temperature-sensitive goods, helping maintain product efficacy, compliance, and safety.
What does an ELPRO Control Tower operator do?
An ELPRO Control Tower operator is responsible for overseeing and managing operations within a centralized monitoring and control system, ensuring smooth, real-time coordination across supply chain activities. Key responsibilities include:
- Monitoring and Tracking: Continuously monitoring the status of goods, equipment, and conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity) during transit.
- Deviation Detection and Response: Identifying any deviations or issues and initiating corrective actions based on predefined protocols.
- Data Analysis: Analyzing real-time data using advanced analytics to detect potential risks and assess the overall performance of the supply chain.
- Coordination with Service Partners: Communicating with service partners, logistics teams, and stakeholders to manage interventions and ensure the correct handling of issues.
- Reporting and Documentation: Documenting events, deviations, and actions taken, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards (e.g., GxP, FDA).
- Process Improvement: Continuously assessing and improving monitoring and response processes for greater efficiency and reliability.
In essence, the ELPRO Control Tower operator ensures the integrity of the supply chain, responding to real-time issues, minimizing risks, and maintaining the quality of products in transit.
