Temperature Data Logger with Printer

This is a small printing thermometer for delivery vans. We can use this during transportation of medicines or similar circumstances to take a print out of recorded data of temperature.chart-printer-for-data-logger

As an example for transportation of medicine in a van or refrigerated truck, the driver can keep our  iLog series of data logger inside the van. While delivering these items, the driver can issue a print out of the entire recorded data to the customer without the need of any computer.

  2. We can use it as refrigeration truck data logger with printer.
  3. Record temperature of reefer trucks used for transportation of fruits, vegetables etc.
  4. If customer transports medicine in separate boxes for separate customers, record temperature of each box separately and issue a printout on delivery.
  5. The customer can check the graph before accepting the goods.
  6. The supplier can keep data logger inside the box until the goods reach the customer’s hands. At that point, the supplier can take a printout and show to the customer.

    • identification number of the data logger
    • Number of readings
    • Sampling interval
    • Start and finish times
    • Alerts generated if any (High and low alert temperature above programmed alert levels).
    • Duration of alerts generated (total duration of the recording which has gone above or below the programmed levels).
    • Highest and lowest readings during the recording duration.
