Shanghai – TOBO GROUP, a leader in connected lab equipment solutions, is proud to launch the RemoteCollab Pro Salt Spray Tester—a cloud-integrated system designed for remote operation, real-time data sharing, and multi-team collaboration, addressing the key pain points of geographically dispersed teams: delayed test monitoring, inefficient data handoffs, and the need for on-site personnel to manage testing. Unlike traditional salt spray testers that require physical access to start/stop tests, adjust parameters, or view results (creating bottlenecks for cross-site teams), this platform lets users control the tester, monitor progress, and share data from anywhere via a secure cloud portal—critical for multinational manufacturing firms, cross-location testing labs, and university research consortia where teams collaborate across cities, countries, or time zones.
At the core of the RemoteCollab Pro is its Secure Cloud Remote Control Module, which enables full remote operation without compromising data security or test accuracy. The module connects the tester to a HIPAA- and GDPR-compliant cloud platform, allowing authorized users to start/stop tests, adjust key parameters (salt concentration, chamber temperature, fog density), and troubleshoot minor issues (e.g., refilling salt solution alerts) from a desktop, laptop, or mobile app. A built-in 4K PTZ camera (pan-tilt-zoom) lets users remotely inspect specimens in real time—they can zoom in to check for early pitting, capture time-lapse videos of corrosion progression, and save images directly to the cloud. For example, a multinational automotive parts manufacturer uses the RemoteCollab Pro to manage testing across its Germany-based lab and U.S. production facility: engineers in Berlin set up a 72-hour ASTM B117 test on door hinges, while team members in Detroit monitor the camera feed and adjust temperature settings in real time (to align with local production specs) without stepping foot in the German lab. The platform also supports offline operation—if internet connectivity drops, the tester continues running and automatically syncs data to the cloud once connection is restored, ensuring no data loss.
Complementing the remote control feature is the Multi-User Permission & Collaboration System, which streamlines cross-team workflows by assigning role-based access and enabling real-time data sharing. The system lets admins create custom user roles: “Test Operators” can start/stop tests and adjust parameters; “Data Analysts” can view results and generate reports but not modify settings; “Client Stakeholders” get read-only access to view test progress and final reports (ideal for sharing results with external customers or regulatory bodies). All data—including real-time sensor readings, camera footage, and test logs—is synced to the cloud instantly, eliminating the need to email spreadsheets or share USB drives. The platform also includes a built-in “Collaboration Feed” where teams can leave comments on specific test stages (e.g., “Noted pitting at 48 hours—see image 5”) or tag colleagues for input, turning siloed data into a shared workspace. A cross-university research team studying marine corrosion used this feature to collaborate on testing aluminum alloys: researchers at a coastal university in Australia ran the RemoteCollab Pro, while team members in Canada and Japan commented on real-time data, flagged interesting corrosion patterns, and co-authored a final report directly in the cloud—cutting the time to compile findings by 50%.
“RemoteCollab Pro reimagines corrosion testing for the way teams work today—dispersed, fast-paced, and collaborative,” said TOBO GROUP’s Connected Lab Solutions Director. “Traditional testers chain you to the lab, but this system lets you control tests, share data, and collaborate from anywhere. It’s not just about convenience—it’s about making cross-site teams more efficient and data more actionable.”
