How the TSR AIR data logger is helping ensure the safe transit of high-value assets
Overview | Dayton T. Brown, an engineering and testing consultant, was asked by an aerospace customer to help solve a logistics challenge. The task was to monitor a fleet of 40-foot refrigerated shipping containers transporting satellites to a launch site across the USA. The satellites were both high-value and fragile, so the customer wanted to measure every event the cargo encountered over 2 g, and any triggers above 0.5 g.
Why DTS
Ease of Use: The TSR AIR is more advanced than other data loggers, plus the user interface is intuitive to navigate, which makes downloading data easy.
Unit-to-Unit Synchronization: Another key feature was the TSR AIR’s ability to synchronize data across multiple daisy-chained units. The trailer was a ‘clean room’ so the data needed to be collected from outside the trailer. The data loggers were daisy-chained inside the trailer and DTB engineered a single cable connection that was accessible from the outside of the container allowing the customer to get “as close to real-time data as possible.” The units can also be synchronized via IEEE 1588 PTP, IRIG or GPS. Responsive to Customer Needs: The TSR AIR originally did not feature 0.5g trigger capabilities. DTS developed and added this functionality to support the application requirements for Dayton T. Brown, Inc. and its client. To learn more about how TSR AIR is being used to solve this transportation monitoring challenge READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE
