FOOD SAFETY – 100% paper-free HACCP Records!
The DE20 developed by Data Acquisition Networks provides food businesses with the first-ever opportunity to totally replace paper-based HACCP recording systems with automated and electronic data collection.
Early prototypes of the DE20 have been significantly upgraded in 2011 to provide enhanced features and functionality. With easy installation of only one single wall-mounted unit a food business is now able to routinely collect temperature data for food storage as well as input data relevant to others critical control points. Summary reports and other new and ‘special features’ are available through use of the system. Data is accessed via the internet through security password and logon identification.

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.

Data logger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A data logger (also datalogger or Data recorder) is an electronic device that records data over time or in relation to location either with a built in instrument or sensor or via external instruments and sensors. Increasingly, but not entirely, they are based on a digital processor (or computer). They generally are small, battery powered, portable, and equipped with a microprocessor, internal memory for data storage, and sensors. Some data loggers interface with a personal computer and utilize software to activate the data logger and view and analyze the collected data, while others have a local interface device (keypad, LCD) and can be used as a stand-alone device.
Data loggers vary between general purpose types for a range of measurement applications to very specific devices for measuring in one environment only. It is common for general purpose types to be programmable however many remain as static machines with only a limited number of changeable parameters. Electronic dataloggers have replaced chart recorders in many applications.
A special variant of the autonomous data logger is the PDF-logger. This is creating, when plugging into a USB interface, automatically a PDF file with a text and a graphic part of the current measurement data. The PC operating system recognizes the unit then as a standard USB mass storage. This makes it possible for the recipient worldwide, to generate a report without additional software. These devices are used for the worldwide delivery of drugs (Cold Chain) or other sensitive products.
One of the primary benefits of using data loggers is the ability to automatically collect data on a 24-hour basis. Upon activation, data loggers are typically deployed and left unattended to measure and record information for the duration of the monitoring period. This allows for a comprehensive, accurate picture of the environmental conditions being monitored, such as air temperature and relative humidity.
