Finding the Right Temperature Mapping Equipment
Data Loggers to Improve Mapping Reports and Data Accuracy
Performing a temperature map often includes the use of data loggers. How do you conduct temperature mapping? The answer is simple, by placing data loggers in a variety of different locations across a specific location, environment or chamber, you can generate a report to outline the varying temperature ranges of the area which guides the storage requirements necessary for samples, medications, food products, raw materials and ingredients to name a few.
Temperature mapping equipment can vary, and often many businesses don't need to invest in temperature mapping equipment, rather they outsource this to a trusted service provider. Withnell Sensors can perform your map with the very latest temperature mapping equipment, check out our temperature mapping service here.
For those who require more than the standard map conducted every 1-2 years, then investing in temperature mapping equipment is a great choice. This is particularly if you introduce new chambers into your manufacturing process often, or store a variety of different goods on rotation. A map should be performed before the storage or shipment of products. For more information on transport temperature monitoring, visit here.
Choosing the right Temperature Mapping Equipment
Deliver on your operational, regulatory, and quality control requirements
Temperature mapping equipment is the only way an accurate report can be produced of a space with storage or handling allocated to it. This includes freezers, chambers, cold rooms, product/ingredient storage areas, quarantine areas, warehouse spaces and receiving and loading bays.
There are various kinds of temperature mapping equipment, with the most popular falling into data loggers, thermocouples and wireless monitoring systems. Temperature and humidity monitoring is a part of our expertise and we are always here to help and guide you with impartial advice.
Temperature Mapping Equipment: Data Loggers
A data logger is the most obvious choice for conducting a temperature map or for the continuous monitoring of a space after a map has been conducted. You can use multiple sensors at once for simultaneous measurements, they offer high memory capacity and customisable report functions. Compliance with the varying standards across different regulated environments is usually easily achieved with a data logger.
Temperature Mapping Equipment: Thermocouples & RTDs
These are more precise options in terms of sensors for temperature measurement in controlled environments, including cleanrooms and sterilisation chambers as well as stability chambers and incubators. They can be more expensive than a typical data logger but they boast high accuracy, with RTDs in particular offering a ±0.1°C measurement. Their range is also expansive and the probes are typically durable.
Temperature Mapping Equipment: Wireless Systems
A more advanced solution than the traditional data logger, a wireless system can sometimes be in the form of various wireless data loggers deployed at once or it can be wireless sensors that transmit real-time data to a central monitoring system. These data loggers will operate remotely and deploy cloud platforms for the management of the temperature mapping equipment. They also come with alerts for deviations and long battery lives.
