  Quantum technology is approaching a level of maturity, recently demonstrated
in space-borne experiments and in-field measurements, which would allow for
adoption by non-specialist users. Parallel advancements made in
microprocessor-based electronics and database software can be combined to
create robust, versatile and modular experimental monitoring systems. Here, we
describe a monitoring network used across a number of cold atom laboratories
with a shared laser system. The ability to diagnose malfunction, unexpected or
unintended behaviour and passively collect data for key experimental
parameters, such as vacuum chamber pressure, laser beam power, or resistances
of important conductors, significantly reduces debugging time. This allows for
efficient control over a number of experiments and remote control when access
is limited.
