Oceasoft, Montpellier, France, has launched the second generation of its Atlas and Emerald Bluetooth-enabled data loggers.
The updated products are accompanied by a new version of Oceasoft’s mobile sensor management application, OceaView. The mobile app is available for iOS and Android in English, French, and Spanish.
The new smartphone and tablet application geo-tags the Atlas and Emerald data loggers in real time, and sends collected data automatically to Oceasoft’s secure Cloud platform. The application also includes a feature that uses a smartphone’s Bluetooth wireless connectivity to monitor data loggers placed with transported products or in a vehicle’s refrigerated compartments.
Bluetooth connectivity has been optimized to handle a large number of data loggers simultaneously. Internal memory in both the Atlas and Emerald devices has been boosted to hold 16,000 readings, offering connectionless data logging for periods of several months. Battery life has been increased, now reaching 1 year for Atlas and Emerald. Furthermore, the temperature range for Atlas modules has been extended, now covering from –30°C to +70°C.
Quality managers and other authorized personnel can use a Web application to access the information collected in the field by the OceaView mobile application. Enabling fast response, the Cloud-based system sends notifications when problems are detected. Data stored on the Cloud can be accessed 24/7, with the possibility of using a connector interface to integrate sensor readings with the client’s information system.
Atlas is compliant with the DO-160 standard for avionics hardware testing, and Emerald has received NF EN 12830 certification from Cemafroid, an international cold chain expert. The company’s mobile and Web applications were developed to meet FDA’s requirements for electronic records under 21 CFR Part 11, as well as good distribution practices for medical products.
