Pullman, WA -- Decagon Devices, Inc. announces the release of their new SafeStorage Monitor. The SafeStorage allows you to sample water activity and temperature over time, making it possible to know exactly when conditions become unsafe. This monitor allows customers to continuously monitor conditions in packaging, storage bins, siloes, warehouses, or anywhere else you need to continuously monitor water activity or temperature.
Monitoring water activity during shipments can reduce or eliminate the chance of expensive, nasty surprises. Testing different types of packaging materials under actual shipping and storage conditions allows customers to choose adequate packaging, saving them from costly over packaging and spoilage costs.
Based on Decagon’s popular AquaLab water activity meter, the SafeStorage Monitor collects and stores data from up to five separate water activity/temperature sensors, and is enclosed in a sturdy, weatherproof case. The water activity probes (sensors) for the SafeStorage Monitor can be used in-package, in-silo, in-container, in-warehouse, in-museum, and numerous other applications. The data recorded from these probes is downloaded to a computer and monitored using Decagon’s DataTrac software. DataTrac was built to be user friendly and flexible to customer needs.
In conjunction, Decagon also offers a SafeStorage Quick Check, for consumers who need a quick and easy way to instantaneously check the water activity reading and temperature of any water activity probe, without the data collection and storage capabilities.
The SafeStorage Monitor can be utilized for a multitude of applications. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:
· For shelf-life studies using real time data
· Package performance analysis in storage
· Isotherm generation using resealable jars
· Monitors conditions to prevent powder caking and clumping
· Temperature change influence on product water activity
· Shipping container monitoring for safe conditions
· Grain bin monitoring for safe storage conditions
· Humidity monitoring in air-conditioned rooms with specific humidity requirements
· Smokehouse humidity monitoring
