Keeping Chemicals Safe: Remote Monitoring for Industrial Storage

CLEVELAND - Feb. 4, 2025 - PRLog -- Ensuring Safe Storage of Temperature-Sensitive Materials

CAS Dataloggers enabled remote monitoring for a processing plant, ensuring safe storage of temperature-sensitive chemicals & maintaining the required temperature range.

Key Features & User Requirements

Before their initial search, the staff compiled a list of essential requirements for the new system:

• Real-time monitoring: The plant required a real-time system to monitor conditions and transmit data over the existing wired LAN network.
• Mobile accessibility: Supervisors needed the ability to access temperature data and receive alerts on their mobile devices and remote computers.
• Data storage and retrieval: The system must store data for extended periods and allow users to access and retrieve it easily.

Solution: Networked Data Logging System

Four T&D TR-71NW Data Loggers were installed in different storage areas, offering comprehensive data collection and analysis.

• Dual-channel recording: Each logger could record measurements on two channels simultaneously using external temperature sensors to monitor 2 locations with one device, for example, an ambient area and a refrigerated area
• Wide temperature range: The sensors had a measurement range of -40°C to 110°C (-40°F to 230°F) allowing them to use a single device for room temperature, refrigerators, and freezers.
• High accuracy: Measurements were accurate to 0.1°C allowing them to offer their customers that the materials were properly stored with a high degree of confidence.
• Large data storage: Each logger could store up to 8,000 data sets for extended logging periods and local backup in case of network connectivity issues.

Remote Monitoring and Alerts

T&D data loggers connect to plant LAN via Ethernet for automatic data upload and real-time temp info. Email alerts notify of temperature changes.

Mobile Access and Data Analysis

Users can access T&D's WebStorage service via a web browser and smartphone app for instant access to data and device settings. The service offers 20MB of cloud storage, enabling multiple users to view, share, and analyze data. The T&D Graph Software for Windows PCs allows for advanced data management and analysis.

Benefits: Enhanced Safety & Regulatory Compliance

The TR-71NW's wired LAN connection delivers email alerts to mobile devices and remote PCs for rapid response and to prevent material loss. T&D networked data loggers utilize the plant's internet for cost-effective remote temperature monitoring. Supervisors can access and manage data from anywhere, and the system creates comprehensive electronic documentation for customer satisfaction and regulatory compliance.
