Softeq delivered a set of standalone temperature and humidity data loggers equipped with sensors with extended temperature measuring range.

The solution utilized hardware and software components for aggregating, processing, and storing information retrieved from the humidity and temperature data loggers installed in a laboratory. The devices are built as one-channel and six-channel instruments that automate data collection and its submission to the server-based register.

Problem

The customer was already tapping Softeq’s software implementation skills for building a comprehensive data acquisition and management system. The solution was to utilize hardware and software components for aggregating, processing, and storing information retrieved from the humidity and temperature data loggers installed in a laboratory.

Softeq’s team was to create a set of standalone temperature and humidity data loggers equipped with ultralow temperature measuring sensors, as well as a custom Android app to work with collected data.

Solution

The devices are built as one-channel and six-channel instruments that automate data collection and its submission to the server-based register.

Temperature Sensor

Has an extended temperature measuring range — from -200 to +120 °C

One-channel Data Logger

Automatically measures temperature at a given time interval and with a designated precision
Stores up to 4,000 records in nonvolatile memory
Outputs data to an e-Ink display

Six-channel Data Logger

Automatically measures temperature at a given time interval and with a designated precision using 6 sensors
Stores up to 4,000 records per sensor in nonvolatile memory
Automatically transmits collected data to the server over HTTP
Displays temperature fluctuation chart
Sends alerts upon exceeding the set threshold temperature
Connects to LAN via Ethernet or Wi-Fi
Supports PoE
Is equipped with a web interface for administering the device

Android App

Works with data acquired from the data logger via Bluetooth Low Energy or USB
Is designed to retrieve data from custom-made sensors, as well as 3rd party sensors such as DS1921, DS1922
Transfers acquired data to the server
Programs sensors
Outputs retrieved data in the form of a table or a chart

Results

The resulting solution is a multiunit and functionally rich custom alternative to the generic choice of similar temperature and humidity instruments.
