Wireless transmitters & receivers

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Data Acquisition Networks has developed wireless transmitters and receivers for local data transfer.  Not just hardware, but intelligent combinations able to produce various outputs including via a RS232 port in a human readable format.  For probes that are located at distance from the gathering point or are located where wiring is too difficult, the DAN wireless system may provide the ideal answer.  Designed to link with the DAN data logging product, with an on site system or with both simultaneously, DAN wireless technology has advanced the transmission of data from where it is gathered to where it is needed to new heights.  And as is typical with DAN products, simplicity of operation is the key.

Carbon footprint data logging

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

As the world moves forward into 2010, carbon emissions will have a significant impact on every company’s financial performance.  There is no doubt that monitoring and controlling the amount of carbon produced will become an important function.  It will be imperative that organisations from the largest to the smallest measure, calculate and record emissions.  Using DAN technology, the recording of inputs can be automatic, gathered from any point (even from moving vehicles) the data is sent to a web site where it is secure and available for viewing via the internet from any location.  In addition, inputs can be inserted into formulas providing final meaningful data as the raw inputs are received.

Why web based data loggers are best!

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Conventional thinking about data loggers was to place a logger at a site and let it record the data. This was revolutionary for its time but not so now!

Data Acquisition Networks supplies a range of data loggers that capture data on a site and then transmit that data over the GPRS or satellite networks to a website where it can be instantly viewed by those with password access. This means data no longer needs to be retrieved from a site and it means data cannot be tampered with by those that might have reason to do so. It also means multiple people can view the data instantly from the comfort of their work desk.

Talk to Data Acquisition Networks today about how new-generation data loggers can add value to data monitoring.

Data loggers protect your business investment

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Almost irrespective of what business you are in, a data logger can protect your investment and in many instances, can also provide you with a competitive advantage.

Here are just two examples. Firstly, some companies that sell refrigeration equipment are now starting to offer 3rd part data logging solutions to monitor the performance of their equipment. Data loggers send alarms when things go wrong and are evidence that a supplier stands behind their product and is prepared to validate its performance. Secondly, companies that distribute food products to vulnerable groups such as the ‘aged’ are increasingly using data loggers to ensure their food temperatures are maintained at a safe level.

Temperature data logging

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Temperature is critical to many processes and many industries.

Whether its the food industry where temperature kills bacteria or the environmental industry where discharge from power plants back into the waterways is important to protect marine life or whether its laboratory samples that represent a lifetimes work and need to be kept deeply frozen, DAN data loggers can maintain a ‘monitoring watch’ over your critical function and send you alarms in time for you to take corrective action should a problem ever occur.

DAN data loggers have revolutionised thinking in how data loggers should function. Simplicity in design combined with faultless and consistent performance make them the obvious data logging choice.

Data logging made easy

Monday, August 4th, 2008

DAN data loggers come ready to connect to your existing probes or any industrial probe.

Once connected, DAN data loggers start transmitting data and send it routinely in accordance with the duty cycle you request.

The beauty of DAN data loggers is they transmit data to your desk. You do not have to retrieve it from site! DAN data loggers also send alarms when things go wrong and keep permanent incorruptible records as evidence of your due diligence.

DAN makes data logging easy!

Laboratory temperature monitoring

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Many laboratories hold sample in cold rooms. These samples may represent a lifetime’s work and yet often there is little if any monitoring to ensure temperature is adequately maintained.

Data Acquisition Networks is able to monitor cold-room temperature and send urgent alarms when things go wrong that will enable corrective action to be taken.

Estuarine monitoring using wireless loggers

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Data Acquisition Networks has a history of successful involvement with the monitoring of estuarine water quality through maintaining salinity records that are an indicator of water water impurity. Put simply, when it rains and there is run-off from land into the estuary there is a probability the water will become impure. By correlating water salinity with meat quality the aquaculture industry is able to determine at what salinity level an estuary should be closed for aquaculture harvesting.

New wireless transmitters from DAN enable multiple points within an estuary to be monitored from one data logger positioned in a farmer’s shed. This enables readings to take into account tidal flows that may conclude rainfall does not effect every point in an estuary equally.

Data loggers from DAN continue to lead the way in estuarine salinity monitoring.

Swimming Pool monitoring

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Every organisation or individual that has a swimming pool which is made available to customers and/or the public has a responsibility to ensure the environment in which people swim is safe.

Data Acquisition Networks have data logging and data monitoring equipment that for a very small cost can pick up the readings from currently installed probes and maintain a permanent record of pH and chlorine that if ever needed will become evidence of your due diligence.

Contact DAN today to find out how to manage your swimming pool safety.

Data loggers and the environment

Friday, August 1st, 2008

In every newspaper almost everywhere in the world, people are talking about climate change, the environment, emissions and carbon footprints. Governments are not only talking about it they are starting to do things with a view to changing behaviours over time and therefore protecting our planet from degradation.

Over time, companies and others will be paying increased taxes for emitting substances that are not good for the planet and monitoring what emissions there are will assume ever increasing importance.

Data Acquisition Networks is able to assist industry to manage and monitor their emissions and have data loggers that can record information that is time-stamped and accurate. Contact DAN today to see how we can assist you to be a better corporate citizen and to give your company competitive advantage.
