Ensure Topnotch Product Quality With The Help Of Temperature Data Loggers

Image
  You must have, once or twice, come across the fact that monitoring temperature is an absolute requirement for food manufacturers. It is crucial to monitor and keep tabs on temperature during the food processing, storage, pasteurization, and distribution stages to ensure the freshness and overall quality of the foods. What does the Food Safety Modernization Act say? Gone are the days when food manufacturers would react to food contamination problems with mass recalls of spoiled products to protect consumers. The Food Safety Modernization Act was passed in 2011 and it requires food manufacturing companies to have their food safety plans handy. The objective of the Food Safety Manufacturing Act is to prevent disease outbreaks that stem from animal and human food by obligating food companies to do a better job of inspiring safe practices. The act allows the FDA greater inspection authority and makes food manufacturers understand the fact that they can either improve their manufac...

Why do you Need ACR Data Logger as a Backup System for Your Industry?

Image
  The need for a redundant, self-powered temperature data logger is substantial. If you need to incessantly monitor the humidity, pressure, and temperature with your primary data logger, there is always a chance that the system could glitch, or worse, the electricity goes out for an unexpected amount of time. In a situation where you do lose power, rather than risking your production work, there’s nothing much you can do to safeguard the process. This is where our ACR redundant, self-powered secondary backup data logger comes to the rescue. This ACR self-powered temperature data logging device comes in a compact size to fit in the tightest areas. It provides compliant and precise monitoring for almost any application. ACR’s self-powered, redundant data loggers enable the user to predictively monitor their storage areas, sensitive materials, and production environments with its dynamic features, such as replaceable sensors, and visual alarms with easy downloading and report analysi...

How Can an ACR Data Logger Help Protect Sea Turtles?

Image
  A sea turtle’s life is a struggle starting from the day it is hatched. Did you know that for every one thousand sea turtle eggs laid, only one turtle reaches full adulthood? This reduced rate is due to an increasing number of external stressors. For instance, some turtles are hunted for their shells, eggs, and meat. Others lose their beach habitats to human developmental plans. Oil spills and harmful marine debris also add to contaminating their beaches and waters. Today’s deteriorating environmental state due to climate change is putting our turtles at an ever-increasing existential threat. Stronger storms lead to rising sea levels, which further destroys and erodes their habitats. Warming seas change sea currents, possibly introducing turtles to new predators. Since the temperature of the sand on beaches where female turtles nest determines the gender of turtle offspring during incubation, scientists have believed for a long time that sea turtles might be entering the extinct...

How is Data Logging Helping Reduce Global Warming?

Image
  The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes (IPCC) which consists of 195 governments, has emerged as one of the most credible sources of climate science. IPCC members aggregate and agree to the best climate science available globally before publishing. The August 2021 report states that global temperatures are rising more quickly than expected and show the long-term effects of increased CO2 in the air, such as: ·          The loss of Arctic sea ice ·          Larger-scale die-offs of coral reefs, and  ·          Thawing of the methane-rich permafrost  These effects can be avoided only if we limit global warming to 1.5°C in the next 5-7 years.  Mankind is in dire need of limiting the constant surge in global temperatures. Today, we have the smallest margin between dangerous and manageable global temperatures, which has emphasized the need for im...

How Data Loggers Gradually Made It into the Mainstream Market and Making Major Transitions Ever Since

Image
Data loggers or ACR   Data Loggers have gained popularity in a variety of applications since their invention because they monitor and record changes in critical parameters over time. Data loggers are available in single channel and multiple channel variations.   They can be externally powered fixed installations or portable, stand-alone units. Most stand-alone data loggers are battery-powered, allowing them to record data even when in transit and for an extended duration.  When first introduced, adoption of the data logger was slow.   Many criticized the new ‘technology’ expressing concerns that: Data loggers would require a high initial investment cost even for a small project. Not all the required features could be found available in a single data logging device or its software. If the device malfunctioned, data would be lost or not recorded. Some data loggers would take readings only at factory set intervals and could not be user configured for the intended ...
