In almost every industry where cold rooms are used the maintenance of desired temperature is critical. Whether product stored is for scientific purposes or food for human (or animal) consumption the fact it is stored in a temperature controlled room means there will be a loss of lifespan or product quality or in the worst case, loss of the total value of product stored, if temperature conditions fail.

Traditional monitoring systems do not do an adequate job of monitoring cold room temperature nor do they adequately indicate the simulated product temperature which is so critical in determining the effect of heat abuse.

DAN data loggers routinely monitor temperature and send records to a secure data vault accessible via any internet-enabled computer by those that have been given an appropriate password. Most people find that you only need to save one problem because of early warning and you have paid many times over for the equipment and its installation.

Visit the DAN website at www.danmonitoring.com to find out more about data loggers supplied by Data Acquisition Networks.

Data loggers when installed as part of a HACCP system in a QSR can save money!

HOW - it’s simple. DAN data loggers have an added facility that enables equipment to be turned on of a morning even before staff arrive allowing the preheat period to occur unattended. In addition, DAN data loggers remove the need for staff to maintain temperature records during the day thereby freeing their time for customer service and other functions relating to quality.

If you are interested in improving the food safety standards in your quick-serve-restaurant talk to Data Acquisition Networks. Not only will you save money but the functionality of DAN monitoring equipment will quickly deliver improved efficiency of operation.

When you need a critical process monitored you need to be sure either after an event or prior to an event that you are dealing with the facts. In the absence of data being routinely and electronically collected and then stored in a data vault, you can never be sure.

Data loggers supplied by Data Acquisition Networks routinely and continuously collect data. They ‘poll’ the inputs 19 times each second and then transmit an average, a maximum and a minimum for the duty cycle to a website where it is stored securely and cannot be altered.

Some organisations still rely upon staff to collect data. In order for that data to be infallible staff need to remember to take readings, they need to remember to record the data correctly and the user of the data needs to be certain staff have no vested interest in misrepresenting the data. 

Data loggers supplied by DAN ensure you are always dealing with the facts!

Data loggers routinely collect data that is critical to the conduct of a business. Some data loggers have the capacity to take action based upon the data collected. Data Acquisition Networks (DAN) provides a range of data loggers and have product deployed in a variety of industries and applications.

Most companies that discharge effluent have a contract with the water authorities that entitles them to discharge an agreed volume each day at an agreed strength normally expressed as BOD.

DAN equipment is currently used to monitor the effluent flow and can send alarms when the amount discharged during the discharge cycle starts to approach the limit available. DAN equipment has also been set up to switch on/off a pump and divert effluent into a holding tank for subsequent discharge the next day.

DAN has a strong industry reputation for helping its customers to solve their monitoring problems with solutions that are both cost effective and practical. DAN data loggers also have a reputation for working perfectly over long periods of time in even the harshest of locations.

Whenever food is prepared temperature plays an important role. Industrial kitchens have HACCP (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point) plans that almost always have a list of critical control points where temperature is the critical measure.

Deep meat temperatures, holding temperatures for food that is ready-to-serve (both hot & cold) ovens and the like are all points in a food preparation area that are critical to food safety.

Data logging equipment supplied by Data Acquisition Networks provide solutions for routine temperature monitoring. Data loggers from DAN are easy to install and ready to use. They measure temperature at routine intervals and transmit the data to a secure website where it can be viewed by those authorised. Because of the ‘power’ of the website DAN can also ‘derive’ data from two or more measured inputs.

Data loggers that send data to a website where it can be viewed through any Internet-enabled PC have proven to be an advantage to corporate head offices.

Whether the data being collected relates to effluent management, energy consumption or food safety the benefit to a head office of being able to access every site’s data as well as receive alarms when things go wrong is a great enabler to due diligence. It also provides the head office with the opportunity to benchmark site performance and to target effort where it is most required based upon the data collected and also guarantees a Board of Directors is adequately and properly informed on critical matters that have the potential to impact shareholder value.

Data loggers supplied by Data Acquisition Networks send data routinely collected to a website where it cannot be altered and where all those authorised can view the data.

Data capture is undertaken in a variety of ways and security of data is often important as it can protect competitive advantage and also because there are times when those with an intent to misinterpret the data could do so if they had wrongful access. Some conventional data loggers do not provide adequate levels of data security whereas data loggers provided by Data Acquisition Networks (DAN) provide impregnable security for several reasons.

1. Data is transmitted from a field unit to a website without manual intervention
2. Access to data on the website is password protected
3. Administrators can limit the extent of data access to certain users by issuing a limited-privilege password

Data Acquisition Networks works hard to ensure that each and every customer’s data is truly ‘their data’ which gives users the confidence to accumulate data in the knowledge it is secure and available only to those the user agrees to authorise.

Data loggers provided by Data Acquisition Networks (DAN) send data to a website where it is stored securely in a data vault. All data is time-stamped which enables users of the data to correlate measurements with other inputs either measured by the data logger at the remote location of inputs simply known to be the case. E.g. A known quantity delivered from which a ‘consumption’ can be derived.

In almost any business or Government agency people rely heavily upon their experiences and their understanding of processes but increasingly they are using data to help them achieve continuous improvement over time. And of course, the data logger provides the measurements going forward as evidence that continuous improvement is being achieved.

Talk to DAN about how a data logger can assist you to combine experience and knowledge with measurement. You will be astounded at the results you can achieve. 

Data for Government or private enterprise is all to often left to individuals to collect. Sometimes individuals with vested interest may either alter data or be suspected of altering data or in our busy lives they may just simply forget to collect the data at all.

Data loggers that routinely and continuously collect data and transmit the data to a website provide a bank of information that cannot be changed or be suspected of being changed. Data Acquisition Networks (DAN) have two parts to their data loggers. Field hardware + a website where data is stored. Data loggers from DAN provide solutions to the collection of critically important data and if things ever go wrong, the fact you have invested in a method that guarantees data collection, can be evidence of due diligence.

Environmental monitoring is becoming increasingly important. everywhere across the globe, rainfall patters are changing, air quality is being challenged and estuarine water quality is struggling with encroaching urbanisation.

Data loggers can provide data critical to assist. Data Acquisition Networks (DAN) provides a range of data logegrs that transmit data over the mobile phone or satellite networks to a website where it can be viewed by those with a need to use the data.  DAN data loggers poll inputs 19 times each second and then report to the website at duty intervals determined by the owner. At each reporting period DAN data loggers provide a maximum, minimum and an average for each input being monitored.

Data that is routinely and continuously collected and transmitted to a point where it can be used immediately provides the foundation for environmental plans to be developed.
