Product Release - SMART-HUB

Product Release - SMART-HUB

MEI 17/07/2023 0
Introducing the "Smart-Hub" - the new slim hardware product that will revolutionize the way you access and interact with your data loggers. This 3-in-1 device is designed to provide users with remote access to all connected data loggers, making it easier than ever before to monitor and retrieve data remotely and in multiple ways.The first feature of Smart-Hub is USB Device Server. This allows Microedge’s software / system (SieView, SiteView SDK, SiteView-Web and Pluto) to access the data loggers connected to the USB ports of the product through TCP sockets remotely. This function is especially useful for users who are using Microedge’s software and need to access data loggers that are located in remote or hard-to-reach locations without the need to physically connect them to a computer.The second function of Smart-Hub is RESTful web APIs.  These standardized API endpoints can be used to access data loggers across multiple platforms and systems. This feature is especially useful for users who need to integrate data loggers with other software and systems.The third function of Smart-Hub is Modbus gateway that turns all connected data loggers into Modbus TCP slave devices. The standar...

Temperature Monitoring in Concrete Maturity

Temperature Monitoring in Concrete Maturity

MEI 26/05/2018 0
Concrete maturity indicates how far curing has progressed. Maturity is the relationship between concrete temperature, time, and strength gain. It is represented by an index value that can be measured in real time in the field. The maturity method, often simply referred to as maturity, is a way of evaluating new concrete’s in-place strength by relating time and temperature measurements to actual strength values.To expedite schedules, increase safety, and improve construction methods, construction teams want to know the strength of their concrete at the job site in real time. Since maturity is related to concrete strength, the maturity method is a way to accomplish this without solely relying on standard test specimens and laboratory testing.Maturity is calculated by tracking changes in fresh concrete temperature over time. Since each concrete mix has its own strength-maturity relationship, we can use maturity to estimate the strength of that mix at any moment after placement. When we know the maturity of a certain concrete, we can use that concrete’s specific strength-maturity relationship.When using the maturity method, construction teams can estimate real-time strength gain of in-...

Thermistor and Water

Thermistor and Water

MEI 20/05/2018 0
An NTC thermistor is designed to measure temperature changes in different applications, but it is truly ideal for working in liquids (such as water). This is a result of long-term reliability and stability. They are the most accurate temperature gauges (when compared to a thermocouple), which allows for extremely close readings.A thermistor placed in water will most likely stay in one place for extended periods of time. A thermistor offers long-term durability for thermistor in water-based applications. A thermocouple will begin to weaken, which degrades its ability to read temperature accurately. Having to consistently replace thermocouples will intermittently stop production.A study about water temperature changes in Lake Tahoe has just recently ended. It was a 40-year study that suggests global warming is responsible for an increase in temperature in the lake (there has been a consistent rise over the last four decades). This is a big problem for the current habitat of the lake, and the warmer water threatens to destroy the whole eco-system.NTC thermistors were extensively used for this study because of their high accuracy rates. The thermistors helped to prove that the temperat...
