If you are storing any products from food to pharmaceuticals, the data of the temperature of your stored products can be used to optimise processes, troubleshoot issues, and ensure compliance with temperature regulations and standards.
With the advancements of technology today, the recording and reporting process can be greatly expedited with the use of temperature data loggers in comparison with previous manual methods.
Hence, it is important to know what to do before using a temperature data logger in order to ensure your data is as accurate and reliable as possible.
Below are the...

Data Logger Update!
We have recently updated our range of data loggers with the TempU06-L60.
Temperature data loggers are portable measurement devices that are used for temperature and humidity monitoring. These devices can work independently and are used in various industries to monitor the temperature and humidity of shipments and storage of food, pharmaceuticals and chemicals.
Although data logging can be done manually by constant human observation, temperature data loggers are far more effective, accurate and reliable than taking periodic manual readings.
Introducing our newest model of data lo...

How To Choose A Temperature Data Logger
A temperature data logger is a device used to monitor and record temperature variations over time. Temperature data loggers come in various shapes and sizes and even configurations, depending on what is required. Some temperature data loggers are meant for one-time use, while others are meant for long-term usage and can be programmed to record temperature data according to a scheduled interval.
The most basic configuration of a temperature data logger consists of a temperature sensor, a microprocessor, a memory chip, and a battery. The temperature sensor measures the temperature and sends...

Advantages of Mortuary Refrigerators
A mortuary is used for keeping the bodies of the deceased prior to identification, burial or cremation, awaiting post-mortem or disposal. Under normal procedures, the storage of human corpses may range from a few hours to a few days. In some rare cases though, a few weeks or longer may be needed.
This means that preventing or delaying the bodies from decomposition is necessary, which is why a refrigerated environment is recommended. Mortuary refrigerators are equipment that maintain a suitable environment for the bodies of the deceased. Nearly all modern health care facilities would have ...
