|---|---|---|
| Agriculture |
|
Confirm temperature accumulation, humidity deficit, solar radiation, ultraviolet rays as part of the vital indicators for healthy plant growth. Measure optimal saturation deficit by understanding the best conditions applied for growth, flowering, and fruiting using temperature accumulation and optimal growth environment scheme. |
| Logistics |
|
Transpiration of industrial equipment, temperature controlled transport of food, and warehouse temperature management can all be monitored to provide the safest and secured operation. Safety measurements through monitoring the vibration of the transport vehicles can be vital to heavy-industrial and vibration sensitive equipment. Accumulated temperature monitoring and humidity levels will be vital to keeping food fresh in a controlled environment. |
| Power measurement |
|
Power and electric energy levels will be displayed on the graph using measured AC current locally at the factory, buildings and industrial equipment. Corresponds to three power systems including two-wire single-phase, three-wire single-phase, or three-wire in three-phase. |
