Since it is a common device for different industrial automation processes, the data logger is critical to digitally monitor variables and have a reliable and validable record of them over time. Providing information for the user to understand the process parameters and how they affect quality and procedures, and to ensure quality and process standardization, many industries require data recording.<\/p>\n

Data loggers record data acquired from different sensors and transmitters and are commonly used in a wide variety of industry segments and applications. Its main function is to register data that indicate environmental variables or a process where the accuracy of the quantities is indispensable for maintaining the quality of the processes or final products.<\/p>\n

Who uses data loggers and why<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is the main application of a data logger: To monitor temperature, pressure, humidity, and other parameters in a given space and, at the same time, to provide a reliable history of the variables so that it is possible to check the data and ensure that standards and regulations are being met.<\/p>\n

In industrial processes, data loggers are indispensable for controlling variables in procedures, including temperature, pressure, and flow. In this case, data is collected from specific points or parts of the process, and not from the environment.<\/p>\n

In other situations where there is no need for environmental monitoring, data logger applications work in building automation, monitoring energy efficiency. In the logistics sector, the data recorded by the data logger are used to monitor routes and travel times between transport points.<\/p>\n

In agribusiness, agriculture and livestock, the data logger is used to monitor soil moisture, temperature and its variations, and other parameters needed to optimize the planting area and the harvest. In livestock, temperature is once again the main variable to be monitored and recorded over time. It promotes the animals’ thermal comfort and, consequently, improves the quality of the process of raising animals for breeding or slaughter.<\/p>\n

Applications such as weather stations, including in photovoltaic power generation plants, and in the aerospace industry are also common. In the oil and gas industry, the use of a data logger provides data for logging and allows the analysis of wells, tanks, and pipelines.<\/p>\n
