Product description:

  • The MONILOG® sensor network consists of the MONILOG® data link sensor base station and up to 8 MONILOG® sensor modules of radio data loggers.
  • The compact, energy-efficient and highsensitivity sensor modules capture data relevant to transport, such as shocks, acceleration, temperature, humidity, air pressure, inclination and light.
  • All data are collected via a Bluetooth lowenergy radio interface in the base station.
  • It transmits them at adjustable intervals via a mobile network as an e-mail to the desired recipient or directly to the MONILOG® web portal.
  • If a configured limit value for measured data is exceeded, a message is sent to the base station.
  • It records the current GPS position and immediately sends an alarm mail.
  • Critical events during a transport can thus be tracked in real time and the user can react to possible risks for his sensitive freight.
  • If a UMTS connection is not possible, the base station automatically switches to an available GPRS network.
  • The stored GPS coordinates can be imported and clearly displayed in Google Earth®, Bing or Openstreetmap.
  • In addition to the event-controlled position determination in the event of an alarm, route tracking is also possible.
  • The small radio data loggers can be installed particularly well in places which are difficult to access or move.
  • Robust housings protect the devices of the sensor network from dust and splash water.
  • An optimised energy management ensures a long and maintenance-free operating time.
  • Commercially available alkaline or lithium batteries guarantee running times of more than 2 years under extremely harsh conditions.
  • The functions of the base station and the individual sensor modules can be intuitively adapted to the respective requirements with a license-free PC software.
  • All collected data is displayed in the table of measured values and diagrams and can be exported to external programs such as Microsoft Excel.
  • The analysis of the data helps to reconstruct possible damage cases, analyse and optimize shipping processes.
  • The MONILOG® sensor network is an indispensable goods companion for international freight transport both on rails and on roads, on water and in the air, on transhipment points and in storage rooms.
