Vigilix TSM and SSVT are excited to announce that thermal monitoring is available for both back office systems and workstation/terminals. Vigilix customers report that knowing about overheating systems early provides tremendous cost savings by allowing them to perform scheduled preventative maintenance rather than having to replace a down system.

Enabling thermal monitoring is as simple as one click on any Vigilix remote agent. The agent will detect all thermal sensors available on the system and will begin the monitoring process. Over the first twenty-four hours, the Vigilix thermal monitoring learns what the normal operating temperatures are for the system. After the first twenty-four hours, the Vigilix agent will report when the temperatures go above acceptable normal temperatures for more than an acceptable period of time.

Vigilix recently introduced terminal agent pricing to deliver a lower per agent cost for monitoring of terminals compared to the more extensive monitoring on backoffice systems. With the addition of thermal monitoring to terminals, Vigilix has greatly enhanced the benefits of monitoring individual terminals.
