Environmental Data Logger

In any operation where conditions matter, visibility is everything. An environmental data logger provides continuous, timestamped and recorded data that organisations rely on for reporting, analysis, and long-term environmental monitoring.

Unlike basic live monitoring tools, data loggers are built to stream data in real time and securely store historical records on the device itself. This ensures you always have a complete, retrievable audit trail for compliance and diagnostics, even if connectivity drops out.

The Hawk is a robust, industrial-grade solution engineered for harsh field deployments, remote research sites, and demanding industries that require accurate data in any environment.

Why Environmental Monitoring Matters

Across logistics, agriculture, and research, even small environmental shifts can lead to significant losses. In the cold chain sector, a significant percentage of compliance issues arise from missing environmental logs, which creates risks during storage, transport, and processing.

Environmental logging helps prevent:

• Regulatory issues caused by missing documentation

• Product spoilage or equipment failure due to unmanaged conditions

Unlike basic monitors, data loggers like the Hawk deliver live environmental data to the cloud first, while also storing records locally to ensure nothing is lost during periods of limited connectivity.

Key Use Cases for an Environmental Data Logger

Environmental data loggers support a wide range of operational needs across multiple industries, enabling teams to capture accurate, timestamped insights wherever conditions are critical. Whether you're protecting sensitive products, optimising crop environments, monitoring remote infrastructure, or collecting long-term field data, reliable environmental logging ensures nothing goes unnoticed.

Below are some of the most common and high-value use cases for an environmental data logger like the Hawk.

Cold Chain Monitoring

Track and log temperature and humidity conditions throughout transport and refrigerated storage. Logged data supports audits and reduces spoilage.

Agricultural and Greenhouse Applications

Measure soil moisture, humidity, pressure, and ambient climate conditions. Long-term logs help farmers maintain crop quality, respond to climate change, and optimise irrigation.

Industrial Facilities and Utilities

Monitor equipment rooms, substations, warehouse conditions, and indoor air quality. Logged data helps maintenance teams stay ahead of issues by alerting them when environmental thresholds are exceeded, enabling early detection of risks such as out-of-spec temperatures, battery overheating, leaks, or potential flooding.

Environmental Projects

Log trends across wetlands, forests, water quality sites, and atmospheric sensors. Consistent monitoring helps researchers build climate models and protect ecosystems.

Mining, Oil and Gas

Monitor environmental variables at remote or rugged sites where devices must survive harsh exposure.

Data Logger vs Sensor, What’s the Difference?

A sensor measures a value in real time, while a data logger records that information, timestamps it, stores it, and sends it for analysis. This enables:

• Historical trend analysis

• Auditable and timestamped records

• Multi-sensor integration

This makes environmental data loggers essential whenever organisations need provable records, operational continuity, or long-term environmental insights.
