Data loggers play an important role in various industries by remotely monitoring environmental conditions like temperature and humidity in areas that are either remote or unattended most or part of the time. Data loggers help ensure important equipment continues to operate, which in turn helps maintain product quality and comply with regulatory standards.

As technology has advanced, data loggers have become more sophisticated. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) technology, which underpins the Sensaphone system, has revolutionized data collection and logging. In the past, workers had to visit sites to connect to legacy devices, retrieve data logs and manually download data, which were tedious and time-consuming tasks.

Today’s data loggers are cloud-based devices that can track a wide range of conditions. For instance, data loggers can monitor the temperature in server rooms, humidity levels in greenhouses and farms, and the precise temperature inside food and beverage storage freezers. If any conditions exceed specific limits, the system can send alarm notifications, prompting operators to take immediate action.
