Data monitoring
Pool Monitoring
Those that provide swimming facilities for the public understand the need to provide a safe environment. Data Acquisition Networks assists organisations to maintain and verify their swimming pool is safe to use.The DAN swimming pool monitoring system can be fitted to an existing pool by either connected to existing measurement devices or by fitting the unique ‘housing’ developed by DAN.To view a schematic of how the system works click here
Food Safety
For decades HACCP has been the accepted international standard by which food safety is assured. Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point requires the identification in a process of potential hazards and then a system of control. One foundation stone of HACCP is measurement and record-keeping.Data Acquisition Networks has developed a range of products that automate collection of HACCP data and also facilitate manual data entry by operators where it is appropriate and/or necessary. All data is transferred to a data vault where it is stored and where it is available for review by those provided with appropriate Passwords and User Identification.DAN data collection units have become the standard by which all other data collection devices for HACCP are measured. For more information about the range of cost-effective product to assist your HACCP program contact DAN on 1300 973 180
Manual + Automatic Data Collection
Data Acquisition Networks is a specialist data collection company providing equipment and services to some of the world’s largest corporations.Data collection needs to be flexible where necessary, guaranteed and always cost-effective.DAN has automated data collection units as well as units that facilitate the manual entry of data through a keyboard and scroll-down menu. The DE20 manual data collection unit is easy to use and versatile. For more information about how you can automate your data collection contact DAN on 1300 973 180
Temperature Monitoring
Temperature remains a critical parameter across a number of activities and industries. Whether you are storing food, storing laboratory samples or simply heating something to a safe temperature where bacteria is eliminated knowing that an appropriate temperature has been reached or is being maintained is of critical importance. Lives can and do depend upon it!Data Acquisition Networks specialises in temperature monitoring. With an extensive range of product DAN collects data and automatically stores that data, sending alarm messages when things go wrong.Temperature monitoring has never been so easy.

Extension of Temperature Monitoring
Data Acquisition Networks has recently released the DE20 a powerful data logger and data control centre that has extended primary functionality.
The DE20 can not only routinely collect and record the temperature of food storage areas and sanitising temperatures but can also facilitate data capture though manual entry. Information such as chlorine levels for food sanitising or deep meat temperatures can be determined and then manually input to the DE20 from where the data is routinely transmitted to the website and retrieved as required and permanently stored.
The DE20 recognises alarm conditions and can arrange for alarms to be immediately sent to those you designate.
Data Acquisition Networks is committed to continuous improvement in the simplicity and certainty of data collection and the DE20 is a ‘watershed’ model in the context of that ambition.
Contact DAN today on 1300 973 180 for more information about the DE20 data logger.
Temperature loggers for food storage
There are principally three ways in which companies ‘log’ or record storage temperatures for food. Two of the ways simply do not work!
The first is by asking or instructing a member of staff to routinely go to each storage area several times a day and write down the temperature of the storage area as shown on a dial above the door. There are many reasons why this does not work and is an absolutely unreliable process everywhere it is in use. Staff tend to do this when they have time which means that they record the temperature when things are not busy and these are also the times when people are not going in and out of the storage area and it is the ingress of warm are on these occasions that is one of the primary reasons for storage temperature corruption. Also some staff simply write down the temperature they believe their boss would like to see ot what history tells them will cause less disruption. General staff are not food safety experts and they do not know the impact of storage temperature on food product.
The second flawed method is to install a non-interactive data logger. A chart recorder or some other similar device which collects the information but sadly, as pressure builds for more productive output no one ever looks at it until there is a problem!
Data Acquisition Networks provides a range of interactive temperature data loggers for food storage take temperature readings all day every day whether the business is business or not and which send alarms when temperature goes astray. DAN temperature data loggers produce a log of alarms sent and through a website provide visibility to supervisory staff even if they are hundreds of kilometers away.
DAN provides temperature loggers for food storage that work!
The Importance of Data Collection
DATA COLLECTIONRecording of data is almost always an activity that needs to be taken seriously. Whether the data relates to food storage temperatures, the condition of public swimming pools or the salinity of an estuary there are decisions made based upon the data and these decisions can be important for the safety of people. Organisations that collect data have a legal obligation to ensure it is robust and that the data records honestly and accurately reflect the facts. Data Acquisition Networks has a range of products to assist. |

Remote Monitoring
It is most often the case that what we need to monitor is remote to where we work. Data Acquisition Networks remote monitoring units bring the data to your desk routinely and reliably. Whether you want to monitor the temperature of a motor, the depth of a dam or the salinity of an estuary, DAN remote monitoring units can do the job for you inexpensively.
DAN monitoring units have been designed to be able to receive input from any industrial probe. Each unit has 6 analogue inputs and 1 counter input and offer battery back-up in case of a power failure. Each unit transmits data to a website where it can be viewed and stored.

Data Monitoring
What is TRUE data monitoring?
True data monitoring is in place when there is a system that is automated (i.e. it is not dependent on human action) and which collects data routinely and stores that data so it cannot be tampered with and it cannot be lost. True data monitoring also does not allow humans to interpret what they believe the data should be!
Data Acquisition Networks provides true data monitoring. Inputs are polled each second and the data averaged and a maximum and a minimum for the ‘reporting period’ transferred automatically to a website where it is stored for access by those with password authorisation. The data is accessed in much the same way as you retrieve your banking details.
Data Acquisition Networks provides true data monitoring solutions for minimal cost.

Temperature data loggers
Food Standards Australia requires businesses to prepare and sell food that is safe to eat. Food causes illness because there are high levels of food-poisoning bacteria and these poisons are called toxins. “A way of preventing or limiting bacteria from multiplying or producing toxins in food is to control the temperature of the food by either keeping it cold or very hot”. Food Standards Australia requires potentially hazardous foods to be kept at 5degC or colder and prescribes that it is “safe for food to be between 5degC and 60degC for a limited time only”. Health regulators and inspectors commonly refer to the range between 5degC and 60degC as the DANGER ZONEfor perishable foods. Food Standards Australia defines potentially hazardous foods as foods that might contain food-poisoning bacteria and which will allow food-poisoning bacteria to multiply. Examples of potentially hazardous foods are listed as raw and cooked meat, smallgoods, dairy products, seafood, processed fruit and vegetables, cooked rice and pasta, foods containing eggs, beans and nuts and foods that contain these foods for example sandwiches and rolls. Many of these food types are also the foods that are inclusions in a balanced and nutritious diet.
