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
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.
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. |

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.

Central Control through data monitoring
Data Acquisition Networks data loggers offer many unique features but perhaps the two most valued by many large organisations is:
1. The visibility of data to all those that have a need to see it and
2. The fact DAN creates permanent data records
DAN systems collect data routinely and send it to a website. The data is secure. It cannot be tampered with and it is available to anyone given password access. Auditors for ISO and other systems also value the fact that DAN data cannot be altered.
Data Monitoring
Data Acquisition Networks Pty Ltd (DAN) has developed a flexible remote monitoring system that provides the ability to gather data from remote sites and/or difficult to reach sites and make that data available conveniently on a central web site. Information can therefore be accessed from anywhere in the world where access to the internet is available, all that is required is a user name and password. In addition, the system may be extended to incorporate local control, with control variables being altered via the web site.
Data logger – general description
DAN has developed and taken to market, a flexible remote monitoring system that provides the ability to gather data from any site including difficult to reach or geographically remote sites and make that data available conveniently on a central and secure web site on a ‘real time’ basis. Site reporting criteria and alarm notification can be altered and current information accessed from anywhere in the world where access to the internet is available. In addition, the system may be extended to incorporate local control, with control variables also being altered over the internet via the web site.
Why web based data loggers are best!
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.
