Most facilities already have a building management system in place, so it's tempting to lean on it for lab monitoring too. The problem: a BMS is built to control, not to prove compliance. This guide breaks down where that gap shows up:

  • Inconsistent sensor data
  • No audit trail
  • Validation headaches

You'll walk away with a clear side-by-side comparison of what each system is (and isn't) built for, so you can make the case internally for the right monitoring setup before a gap turns into a violation.
