Is my data secure?

Yes, the strictest security measures were observed during the development of the software. The protection of your data is important to us and the processes have been reviewed by a data protection specialist.

We store and process your data in Germany in accordance with the GDPR and cover the costs of server operation and maintenance. Alternatively, you can use your existing servers for data processing.

Can the software be presented to me?

Yes, we would be happy to present our software to you in a video conference. Please feel free to book an appointment with one of our contacts.

What return on investment can I expect?

With DÜPERTHAL connect you save time, avoid errors and optimize your processes. We have created a calculator for you with which you can calculate your personal ROI. You can find it here.

What payment options are available?

You can pay monthly by credit card or SEPA direct debit. Annual payments can be made by invoice.

Do I need to install software to use DÜPERTHAL connect?

DÜPERTHAL connect is a browser-based web application that can be used independently of the browser or device, so no installations are required.

What is the purpose of the article catalog?

The article catalog lists all article types you need to assign to your article inventories. An article type (chemical, medium, battery, consumable, etc.) is added first and then assigned to an inventory (e.g. a bottle of a specific chemical). This way the article type and its data can be reused repeatedly.

Can I manage only cabinets from DÜPERTHAL with the app?

You can manage cabinets, shelves, storage boxes, roller carts or vehicles from any manufacturer with DÜPERTHAL connect.

Can you manage only chemicals with DÜPERTHAL connect?

No, you can manage all your stock in your warehouse with DÜPERTHAL connect.

How can I use DÜPERTHAL connect to prevent the co-storage of chemicals that react dangerously with each other?

With DÜPERTHAL, the co-storage prohibitions of TRGS 510 are automatically taken into account during storage, and a warning message is displayed if substances are stored together that, according to the co-storage table, must not be stored together.

Are there reminders when the maintenance of safety cabinets is due?

You can activate a maintenance event for each storage location and store email addresses that will be notified of the upcoming maintenance up to several weeks in advance. The app assumes that maintenance of the storage location is due one year after delivery or after the last maintenance.

What do I see in the check-outs?

In the check-outs, all checked-out item stocks that are temporarily in use are displayed. The time of the check-out, the location of use and the user are shown.

What are the user groups for?

The user groups are used to assign roles:

The Owner/Proprietor has full access to the application. He can create Admins and users, access the Payment Service to view invoices and book packages, create rooms, edit the product catalog, create storage locations and maintain inventories.

The Admin has the same access rights as the Owner, except access to the Payment Service.

The User has access to inventory management (create storage locations, inventory maintenance).

What can I find under Search?

Under Search you will find a search field with a full-text search function. You can filter by products, article types, documents and CAS numbers. The results come from the data stored in the article catalog and article inventory. Stocks that are already in the Check-Outs are marked here as "In Use".

Which interface does DÜPERTHAL connect have for connecting to existing systems?

We work with a REST interface. Please feel free to contact us. As part of a Teams meeting or an on-site appointment, we can work together to develop a solution for connecting DÜPERTHAL connect to your system.

Can my inventory data be imported into DÜPERTHAL connect?

Please feel free to send us your data. We will check whether we can import your data into DÜPERTHAL connect for you on a one-time basis. This involves costs for a one-time effort.

Who is the operator of DÜPERTHAL connect?

DÜPERTHAL connect was developed by DÜPERTHAL Sicherheitstechnik GmbH & Co. KG. DÜPERTHAL is a German quality and technology leader and sets the standards in the field of system solutions for the process-optimized storage of chemicals and hazardous goods.

What requirement must the Internet access meet to operate the DC monitoring systems?

Our Bridge requires an available wired Internet connection (LAN). If your internal data protection requirements are very strict, coordination with your IT department may be necessary.

How do you connect a Smart Hub or Sensor Hub to the Internet?

Both devices do not need an internet connection. They connect automatically via a wireless connection to the Bridge.

How many sensors can be connected to a Smart Hub?

The Smart Hub has 4 integrated sensors for temperature, humidity, air pressure and brightness. Additionally, either a temperature sensor or a sensor adapter can be connected.

How many sensors can be connected to a sensor hub?

The Sensor Hub has 4 slots – optionally for temperature sensors or sensor adapters. Additionally, a potential-free contact for the on-site connection, e.g. to e.g. fire alarm systems (BMA), is integrated.

Which sensors can be operated on the Sensor Adapter?

On the sensor adapter, it is possible to connect one sensor each to monitor the exhaust air, the fill level and the door status or to trigger the backdraft protection.

What does backdraft monitoring or monitoring of backdraft protection mean?

For the safe storage of lithium-ion batteries, the DÜPERTHAL safety cabinets BATTERY line feature an integrated backdraft damper. It additionally locks the doors from the inside in the event of a fire to prevent unauthorized persons from opening the cabinet after a battery incident. The locking status can be queried via the backdraft monitoring. In the event of an incident, the switching contact for the fire alarm system can be queried or an SMS / E-Mail can be sent.

What monitoring options are available?

For storage locations, e.g. safety cabinets, exhaust air monitoring is available. Temperatures in the room or in the storage compartments can be monitored; two different sensors are available for this (PT-100 up to 100°C and K-type up to 600°C). In addition, in sensitive storage situations the door status (closed / open) at the storage location can be monitored.

Are there warnings for critical situations?

Yes, that is possible in multiple ways. Multiple people can be notified by e-mail or text messages can be sent as SMS.

What warning levels are there for temperature monitoring?

It is possible to assign 2 temperatures for preventive notifications and 2 temperatures for critical warnings for each measurement point.

Can I add or expand sensors afterwards?

Any number of sensors can be retrofitted.

Can I integrate my own sensors into the system, or only sensors from DÜPERTHAL?

Integrating external sensors is generally feasible; however, coordination with DÜPERTHAL is required.

Can I display the analysis of the sensor data graphically and in tabular form?

A dashboard with a graphical display is available.

Which interface is required for data exchange?

At present, a general exchange standard for digital data in laboratories is being developed under the direction of Spectaris. The new standard LADS will then enable data exchange based on OPC UA. In addition, the REST interface (API) of the DÜPERTHAL connect inventory manager can be modified for the exchange of monitoring data to meet individual requirements.

Is there a protocol for monitoring events?

All notices and warnings are available in a protocol archive. Notices and warnings can be annotated with notes.

How far back can I retrieve data?

All data are saved to your DÜPERTHAL connect in the background and can be restored.
