This quote pretty much sums it up. Before making decisions, it is essential to collect enough information, and to this end one needs means to sense and record environmental data. While lots of off-the-shelf systems exist, these are expensive, multi-purpose, and mostly ancillaries to PC based processing. Over the years of day-to-day practice, we have developed our own systems that are more lightweight, economical, and robust. Those systems are completely tailor made, independent and highly reliable:
Temperature : milliKelvin Temperature Logger
Vibrations: microVibration Logger
Current versions are standalone products. Next versions will be IoT capable and will be capable of working as a constellation.
