Temperature recording
TEMPERATURE DATA LOGGERS
Temperature data loggers perform critical and at times life saving functions.
Whether your need is to record the temperature of blood stored for human use, the storage temperature of perishable foods or the core temperature of re-thermalised foods, temperature data loggers are crucial. Temperature data loggers are ‘at work’ 24/7 and whereas it was formerly believed that writing a temperature down twice a day would get the job done, it has now clear this was incorrect.
Temperature data loggers supplied by Data Acquisition Networks come in many sizes and varieties from the very simple to the sophisticated. DAN is able to provide a data loggers to meet your exact need and at a price that is affordable. DAN temperature data loggers can be installed as wireless units or hard-wired. They can record your data on a PC or MacBook or on a website independently maintained with a guaranteed 99.9% up-time.
Contact Data Acquisition Networks on 1300 973 180 if you have a need to monitor temperatures in any application and our qualified and courteous staff will help you find the right solution. Alternatively, email sales@danmonitoring for an immediate response.
TEMPERATURE DATA LOGGERS SAVE MONEY!
Most perishable items, particularly food, need to be stored at appropriate temperatures so as to maintain freshness and food safety.
Whenever a perishable food item held in storage goes outside acceptable temperature it is critical a temperature data logger sends an alarm AND records the level of temperature abuse and the time over which that abuse occurred.
Temperature data loggers supplied by Data Acquisition Networks provide this essential information. A microbiologist or laboratory can examine DAN data records and determine if the perishable food remains suitable for consumption, that is it is food safe and if so, whether it is advisable to reduce the remaining shelf life of the product.
Without this high quality of information, food needs to be thrown away.

TEMPERATURE MONITORING
Temperature monitoring remains the single biggest use of industrial monitoring equipment. Whilst more and more people every day are realising the benefits of monitoring everything they do, temperature seems critical to a great many industries.
Perishable food can develop microbial contamination if appropriate storage temperatures are not maintained. Pharmaceutical products can lose effectiveness and blood and other ‘medical needs’ are temperature sensitive.
The consequences of temperature failure in any of these applications can be very significant and potentially fatal.
DAN provides a range of temperature monitoring equipment and has a product to meet and exceed your needs, no matter what industry you are in. DAN equipment is supported locally and cost effective.

Temperature Recording
Why is Temperature so critical to so many items?
Storage temperatures are critical to items such as food and blood. Food for example can have two sorts of temperature abuse.
QUALITY: The quality of some foods is severely lessened if storage temperatures are not maintained at the correct levels. Some foods are not freeze/thaw stable meaning if their storage temperature is too severe and they freeze, they will not have the same consistency in use after being thawed. Some made-up gravies and sauces are good examples. Conversely, some food that should be kept frozen will deteriorate if allowed to thaw and then re-frozen. Ice cream is the classical example used by most people to illustrate this temperature problem. Ice cream is produced with over-run or aeration and then immediately frozen. If allowed to thaw or melt the aeration collapses and when re-frozen the product does not have the same consistency and mouth feel most consumers associate with a perfect ice cream product.
SAFETY: Of greater importance are the safety issues for food not stored at correct temperatures. The degree of safety concern can vary from food type to food type depending upon a number of factors but specifically depending upon the nature of the food and its ‘friendliness’ to bacteria. Tomato sauce for example is an acid-based product that is an unfriendly environment for bacteria. If left unrefrigerated, tomato sauce will suffer from what is commonly referred to as ‘black-neck’ but the product itself is unlikely to carry and grow high levels of harmful bacteria on the basis the acid naturally occuring in tomatoes provides a hostile environment for bacteria. Milk, fresh seafood and chicken however are examples of food products that provide an environment conducive to the growth of bacterial or microbial contamination. At certain temperatures food products can incubate bacteria resulting in rapid growth of sometimes deadly toxins.
Temperature recording for food storage is an essential part of any food safety or HACCP plan. Not only does temperature recording provide a permanent record of when temperature abuse occurs but if abuse occurs it is the relationship between time and temperature that becomes critical in determining the suitability of the food for human consumption.
Temperature recording for food is also critical at the cooking or re-heating stage where the core or deep-meat temperature of the food needs to reach certain temperatures to eliminate bacteria in some instances.
Data Acquisition Networks (DAN) is one of the very few companies that provide a means for routine and continuous collection of data records and in the event of a mishap, provides a record of both time and temperature.

Temperature Monitoring – Vehicles
Traditional chart recorders for use in vehicles simply do not provide appropriate visibility of critical temperature data. Most often the information is retrieved only when a problem has occurred and the retrieval is almost always long after anything can be done to fix the problem.Temperature monitoring units developed by DAN can be fitted to any vehicle. they routinely collect information relating to the temperature in various compartments of the vehicle as well as information relating to when doors are opened.DAN temperature monitoring units for vehicles enable fleet managers to supervise from their stationary, remote location by having continual access to the latest information about what is happening on the truck. Contact DAN today on 1300 973 180 to find out more about how DAN can help you ensure temperature compliance when your goods are on the move.
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.

Temperature Monitoring of Food
Food authorities around the civilised world require companies to produce food that is safe to eat. There are many aspects of food handling, testing and storage that contribute to safety and monitoring and recording temperature at various points is amongst the most important.
Data Acquisition Networks has developed a temperature monitoring system for food products that enables routine collection of temperature data as well as routine input of deep-meat and cooking temperatures. DAN’s temperature monitoring system for food products collects data and sends it to a website where it is available in the same way as we all access our bank account details every day. Therefore it is available to us but not to anyone else that we do not wish to have access to the data.

Temperature Monitoring
Monitoring of temperature is important in a variety of applications.
In the food industry there is a need to monitor deep-meat temperatures and storage temperatures. In schools there is a need to monitor the temperature of the classrooms in which children learn.
Traditionally people have taken random temperature recordings during a day. Not always at the same time of the day and sometimes, people forget and then catch-up the next day. The outcome has been misleading information on which decisions cannot be made.
Data Acquisition Networks provides a range of data monitoring solutions that ensure routine data collection becomes a part of every day. No mistakes and no misleading information. Talk to DAN today (1300 973 180) about how our solutions can resolve your data monitoring issues.
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.
