The VMS System provides assured monitoring and control by automatically gathering sensor data and generating alerts and reports on the performance of equipment and facilities. It is available as a fully managed Cloud service and can include multiple sites and departments. The new app interfaces to the system to add invaluable on‐the‐go functionality including remote visibility and control

“This app is great news for our customers who use our VMS systems,” said Steve Wake, MD at Validair. “I am convinced that our VMS users will love the convenience and immediacy of being able to remotely visualise data from their VMS sensors as well as the practicality of this app which behaves like a portable dashboard. ViGIE users need never be disconnected from their critical monitoring again.”
