Data loggers play an important role in many industries by monitoring different environmental conditions. Their primary function is to ensure the correct operation of equipment, maintain product quality, ensure facility safety, and meet regulatory standards.

They can track a multitude of parameters, and their cloud-based capability means operators don't need to be on-site. For instance, they can monitor temperature in server rooms, humidity in greenhouses and farms, and the exact temperature inside food and beverage storage freezers.

Sensaphone remote monitoring systems can be connected to a variety of sensors and accessories to keep tabs on basic environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and water detection, security and power failures. All of these sensors require one of four output types to work with Sensaphone devices: 2.8k, 10k, dry contact (digital), or 4-20mA (analog). In addition to monitoring those sensor outputs, some Sensaphone devices can monitor pulse counts and runtimes — useful capabilities for water/wastewater and HVAC applications. 

Greenhouse operators, landscapers, horticulturists, golf course managers, farmers, cannabis growing facility personnel and other commercial growers all need to manage irrigation. Remote monitoring can help you use water more efficiently by measuring the amount of water in the soil and sending alerts when moisture conditions fall outside the desired range. This instant notification can prevent under- or overwatering, minimize water usage, promote growth and increase crop yield and quality.

Maintaining an ideal growing environment for cannabis plants is not an easy task. Personnel must monitor a variety of factors to ensure their plants stay healthy. Temperature, humidity, equipment status, CO_2, and lighting are only a few of the conditions that need to be monitored 24/7. 

The Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program provides vaccines at no cost to children whose families may not be able to afford them otherwise. Since its implementation in 1994, the program has prevented over 320 million illnesses and saved the lives of over 732,000 children, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Proper storage of these vaccines plays a key role in maintaining quality and protecting children from vaccine-preventable diseases. Recently, the CDC issued new requirements for storing vaccines in medical grade refrigerators or freezers. They now require you to use a..

Gone are the days of chart recorders, logbooks or manual, hourly data log entries. Data loggers and data acquisition systems have to be more sophisticated for today’s fast paced world. Industrial Internet of things (IIOT) technology, which the Sensaphone cloud platform is built on, lets business and trade professionals access devices in real time from anywhere in the world. You can now view data from your phone, laptop or desktop with a click of a mouse.

Critical machine parts like separators, cooling towers, blowers, generators, pumps, bearings and motors usually give hints they are damaged and about to fail. When a fan becomes unbalanced or bearings start failing, they start vibrating more. Although this change wouldn't be noticeable to the human eye or ear, it's easily detected by a vibration sensor.
