Temperature & Humidity Monitoring for Museums

Preserve priceless collections with confidence.

Wireless 24/7 monitoring of temperature and relative humidity inside display cases, galleries, and storage. Real-time alerts and permanent cloud records keep murals, sculptures, specimens, and artifacts safe — on-site or off.

Why curators and facilities teams choose CORIS

Complete peace of mind for the assets that define your institution.

24/7 Visibility, Anywhere

Cloud-based monitoring of every display case and storage area — accessible on-site or off, on any device, around the clock.

Real-Time Excursion Alerts

Temperature or humidity drifts outside your thresholds? Curators and facilities get notified instantly via phone, email, or text.

Permanent Cloud Records

Every reading is stored permanently in the cloud, giving you the trend data to spot patterns and refine preservation conditions.

How CORIS protects the museum environment

One wireless system, from the display case to the deep freeze.

CORIS sensors measure temperature and relative humidity inside display cases and storage areas. When readings move outside your predefined thresholds, our 24-hour cloud-based monitor sends real-time alerts to museum personnel so they can act before any damage is done.

Display Cases & Galleries

Discreet wireless sensors track temperature and relative humidity inside cases and across galleries — so subtle drift never goes unnoticed.

Collections Storage

Monitor archive rooms, vaults, and long-term storage where cultural artifacts, specimens, and works on paper are most vulnerable.

Specimen Freezers

Continuous monitoring for LN2, -80°, and -20° biological specimen storage — the same hardware that protects research labs at top institutions.

Use cases

Protection for every kind of collection.

Monitoring For

Murals, Sculptures & Works on Paper

Temperature swings and humidity spikes silently damage paint, stone, textiles, and paper. Real-time sensors give curators the confidence that priceless objects are safe — even overnight, on weekends, and during renovations.

  • Track temperature and RH inside individual display cases
  • Detect HVAC drift across galleries before damage occurs
  • Document conditions during renovation and construction phases

Natural History & Specimen Collections

Biological specimens — plant, animal, and tissue samples — depend on stable cold storage. CORIS monitors LN2 tanks and ultra-low freezers alongside gallery climate, on a single platform.

  • LN2, -80°, and -20° freezer monitoring
  • Alert escalation tuned to overnight and weekend shifts
  • One dashboard for collections, storage, and facilities

Facilities & Building Protection

Water in a basement or sump pit can threaten an entire collection. Leak and door sensors round out a complete environmental safety net for the building, not just the cases.

  • Leak detection in basements to avoid costly repairs
  • Water level detection in sump pits and elevator shafts
  • Door open sensors for storage facilities and vaults
“Every morning, one of the first things I do when I get up is pop on CORIS. It’s that absolute peace of mind.”
