considerable manpower. Investing in
a data logger system that monitors
conditions electronically is far easier –
and comes with many benefits. “Let
the cloud work for you” is a slogan that
inspired T&D Corporation to develop
a range of products and services that
are easy to configure into tailor-made
systems.
APPROPRIATE SOLUTIONS FOR
INDIVIDUAL NEEDS
The Japanese market leader for wireless
data logging systems designed the EN
12830-approved RTR-500 product
family. It consists of dust and water-
resistant wireless data loggers, devices
for communication and data collection,
as well as inclusive cloud services and
software. To fulfil the requirements of
different surroundings, various elements
of the range can be fitted in several
ways.
There are small and robust data loggers
for monitoring differing parameters,
including temperature, humidity, CO 2
content, luminance, UV, 4-20mA,
voltage and pulse. Base stations are
available in GSM, USB, Ethernet (WLAN
or LAN) versions, as well as mobile data
collectors. Up to 100 data loggers can
be connected to one base station, and
repeaters can be used to strengthen
data signals over distances longer than
150 metres if required.

All features allow effective and error-free
monitoring of large areas and difficult
to reach locations without the need to
install cabling or travel to collect the
data.
NON-STOP ACCESS WITH CLOUD
COMPUTING
As it is automatically updated, cloud
computing makes data monitoring
incredibly simple by overcoming time and
distance issues. The free of charge T&D
cloud was established in 2010 and has
since been developed to offer additional
valuable features: The T&D WebStorage
Service and appropriate apps enable
unlimited and mobile access to current
readings and saved records. A watchdog
feature ensures faultless operation of all
elements and checks battery life, power
supply, wireless signal strength and
ready-to-receive-status.
After a certain time-out, it also sends
a warning message to the registered
email address. Each account offers
enough storage capacity to save data
for several years, while an intelligent
archiving system zips the oldest records.
Alerts trigger the immediate sending
of warning messages from base units
via email, SMS or app. Furthermore, the
RTR-500 base station can be connected
with an external visual or acoustic alarm
signal. Via the cloud, users can easily
alter individual logger settings when
required.
The system makes it easy to share data
too. To prevent unauthorised access to
stored data, users can receive a unique
“read only” ID and password from the
administrator that enables data to be
viewed but not modified or deleted after
registration.
ADVANTAGES FOR ANY STAGE OF
HANDLING
Along every step of the supply chain,
wireless data loggers offer a flexible
solution for multiple purposes.
Simultaneously, they monitor different
temperature zones in various locations,
with measurements automatically
documented and stored without any
requirement for manpower. This makes
them ideal for use in laboratories,
processing or storage areas where
written proof of temperature is required,
but they can be placed anywhere to
track data – be it inside a refrigerator or
storage cabinet, or even on the move in
chilled transportation boxes. Thanks to
a GSM base station with GPS function,
it is easy to track the location of on-the-
move goods at any time. Via the cloud
storage service, data can be shared
throughout the whole process, such as
between carriers, senders and receivers
of goods.
