Industrial transfer module by SMT monitors transport in real time

The MONI LOG data link is manufactured by SMT.

SMT Elektronik is the name to trust for measurement devices that assist in product transportation, available through Durham Instruments. A key example is the MONI LOG data link, an industrial transfer module for exact position finding and worldwide transport control. This small, borderline invisible device accompanies goods during transport and storage applications, with a permanent monitoring capability for accurate determination of transport loads while preventing damage.

Time control and event control

The SMT MONI LOG data link is a versatile unit that is easy to configure and adaptable to various applications in a wide range of industries, such as dispatch monitoring, or tracking and tracing transportation routes. Durham Instruments deems this industrial transfer module suitable for use in general manufacturing, aerospace, the military, power generation, alternative energy, and transportation.

An autonomous, standalone solution, this instrument can monitor sensitive transports in real time, by transferring data automatically from the field. E-mails instantly inform the user about the products’ current position and covered transportation route. A major advantage of this device is time control and event control of the data transfer; for example, the user can activate the transfer in case of exceeding preconfigured alarm thresholds. Automatic frequency switchover enables the MONI LOG data link to work in different networks and ensure optimum global availability.

When the user combines this industrial transfer module with one or two SMT MONI LOG data loggers, the system reads out the logger’s values at predetermined intervals and transfers the complete measurement data record to the route information. This way, the dispatcher instantly knows the exact location of the goods and to which critical transport loading they are exposed.

The SMT MONI LOG data link comes with other notable features and benefits. Examples: GPS receiver and GSM/UMTS transmission unit for data loggers; ability to receive exact GPS position coordinates by satellite; Integrated Quad Band EGSM/GPRS and Triple Band UMTS/HSPA+/radio module; detailed, card-based route monitoring with Google Earth; online portal for convenient administration and assessment; integrated SIM card bracket, high-sensitivity antenna, and battery; and powerful, licence-free configuration software with multi-stage password protection.
