Case Studies

Expert cheese maker uses radio logging system to monitor temperature both on site and during transportation; helping to prove that a constant temperature is maintained during distribution.

Monitoring of temperature and humidity conditions that drugs and vaccines are stored in during transport is essential to the effectiveness of the product.

More than 200 million containers carry perishable foods across the oceans every year. Temperature and humidity control are critical requirements to ensure that the food arrives at its final destination in perfect condition.

Ferndale Foods in Kent, suppliers to major retail chains J. Sainsbury and Waitrose, use Tinytags, BS EN12830 compliant data loggers, in their day-to-day operations to validate the time and temperature of cooking processes and record the air temperatures of chiller units and small fridges.

We are all aware of the uncertainties regarding the future of the Earth’s climate systems. Weather forecasting can be rather imprecise and predicting the future behaviour of global weather patterns rests on computer models that rely on meteorological data and an understanding of what drives weather systems. However, meteorological records only stretch back a century or so, and our understanding of how the global climate systems interact and change is far from complete. Geologists are researching new ways to use chemical records in rocks and fossils to monitor climate change in great detail.

The accurate monitoring of rainfall is of fundamental importance in fields such as meteorology, agriculture and hydrology, but also in cave science where there is frequently a correspondence between external rainfall and driprate inside the cave. Sensor designer PiTech Research has used Gemini data logging technology to address the problem of accurate rainfall monitoring.
