How Data Loggers Are Used in the Meat Industry
2
What is a Data Logger?

• Data loggers are used in many industries to help
  assure the quality and safety of goods being
  processed, stored or transported.
• By monitoring such things as temperature,
  humidity, pressure and other environmental
  variables, data loggers can alert users when
  things are not as they should be.
• With sophisticated data logger software,
  notifications can be configured, reports
  generated, and information can be analyzed and
  shared to track consistency and identify
  problems.

Smoke Houses

• Smokehouse processes can take many hours and the
  environment is very harsh and smoky .
• Manually spot checking an environment such as
  this can be inadequate and dangerous to the
  individual.
• Data loggers designed to withstand this
  environment and transmit the data conveniently to
  a computer are the ideal solution.

4
Ovens

• Well designed, durable, high temperature data
  loggers can monitor the cooking processes inside
  even the hottest of ovens.
• Transmitting temperature data directly to the
  software enables users to maintain optimal
  cooking temperatures.
• Madgetech builds data loggers that can withstand
  up to a blazing 284F or even higher using a
  thermocouple probe.

5
Freezers Cooling

• Keeping meat at the right temperature before and
  after it is cooked is equally important for
  public health as well.
• Handling temperatures as low as -4F, data
  loggers assist in keeping foods solid, safe,
  fresh and shippable.

6
Shipping Environments

• Shipping meat to and from stores and processing
  can potentially cause damage or loss.
• Wireless data loggers can go with the meat along
  for the ride and download data to the computer
  right from the dock.
• Knowing the status of your goods throughout
  transit is invaluable and necessary.

7
Two-Way Wireless Communication

• MadgeTech offers many wireless data logger models
  that can communicate in both directions with the
  computer.
• This means that one PC can be used to manage and
  monitor a network of many data loggers.

8
Real Time Monitoring

• MadgeTech Data Logger Software is capable of
  recording and displaying in real time, meaning
  that you can see the data as it occurs.
• With configurable alarms, you or your staff can
  be notified if a problem arises, either by email,
  text, on screen or audible alert.
• Mistakes can cost a company thousands of dollars.
  Real time monitoring means catching them before
  they happen.

9
Critical Control

• Critical Controls, also known as Coding Flags
  or Cooling Flags are another key tool for
  catching potential problems.
• By setting flag points a business can catch
  potentially harmful environmental trends.
• Each control point can be set-up differently for
  as strict of monitoring as needed for the process.

10
Easy to Use Software

• With very little training, employees can quickly
  be able to configure, operate and monitor each
  system.

• The data logging system is only as good as the
  software it talks to. MadgeTech Data Logging
  Software is a powerful and flexible set of tools.

• The user-interface has been designed with the
  customer in mind and is an intuitive experience
  for even novice computer users.
