Technical FAQ:
Datalogger
What is a data logger?
It is an autonomous electronic device designed to acquire, store and timestamp continuously the measurements of one or more physical quantities over time, without the operator being present. It integrates sensors, microcontroller, internal memory and long-life battery.
What is a data logger used for?
It is used to monitor over time the trend of environmental, process or transport parameters: temperature in cold chains, humidity in warehouses, vibration during goods transport, pressure in pipelines, as well as thermal mapping of regulated environments (GMP pharmaceutical, HACCP food).
In which sectors is a data logger used?
Pharmaceutical (warehouse mapping, sterilization validation, cold chain), food (HACCP, refrigerated transport), logistics and transport, museum collections and archives, agriculture (greenhouse and silo monitoring), construction (structural monitoring), energy (plant monitoring) and environment (air quality, weather).
What is the difference between a single-channel, multi-channel and IoT data logger?
The single-channel records only one quantity (e.g. only temperature); the multichannel simultaneously records multiple quantities or multiple measurement points; the IoT data logger transmits data in real time via WiFi, cellular or LoRa to cloud platforms for remote access.
What quantities can be recorded with a data logger?
Temperature (most common), relative humidity, pressure, CO₂, illuminance, shocks and vibrations, electrical voltage, current, 4-20 mA signals from external transmitters, on/off events, GPS position, air quality and many other quantities via dedicated or external sensors.
How long does the battery of a data logger last?
Variable depending on sampling frequency and number of channels: from 6-12 months in compact models with lithium battery (recording every 1-15 minutes), up to 5-10 years in low-consumption models with hourly sampling. IoT data loggers with continuous transmission have lower battery life.
How often does a data logger sample?
From very rapid sampling (1 second or less for industrial applications) to slow sampling (1 measurement every hour or day for long-term environmental monitoring). The optimal frequency depends on the application and influences both memory duration and battery life.
Are data loggers certified for GMP / 21 CFR Part 11 environments?
Professional data loggers for the pharmaceutical sector comply with 21 CFR Part 11 (FDA electronic signature), EU GMP Annex 11 and support audit trail, access control, full traceability and validated report generation for FDA/EMA inspections.
How is data downloaded from a data logger?
Depending on the model: via USB by connecting the data logger to the PC, via Bluetooth or NFC with mobile app, via WiFi or cellular for IoT models with cloud access, or via docking station for mass download of multiple devices.
Which standards regulate the use of data loggers?
The main ones are EN 12830 (data loggers for refrigerated transport), GxP (GMP/GLP/ GDP for pharmaceutical), HACCP (food), ISO/IEC 17025 for calibration traceability, 21 CFR Part 11 FDA, and sector-specific standards such as those for museums.
What is thermal mapping?
It is the activity of characterizing the spatial and temporal temperature distribution (and/or humidity) in a regulated environment (pharmaceutical warehouse, refrigerator, autoclave), performed by positioning a grid of calibrated data loggers and recording for 7-30 days. It is mandatory in GMP and follows WHO and PIC/S guidelines.
Do data loggers need periodic calibration?
Yes, the typical interval is annual for data loggers used in regulated environments (GMP, HACCP, calibration traceable to ISO/IEC 17025), biennial for general use. Calibration must be performed in an accredited laboratory with a certificate indicating the calibrated points and uncertainty.
