Temperature and humidity is vital to many industries

There are many different industries all of which require complete control over the temperature and humidity within their working environment. This is to ensure that the product or service they are providing is working and has not undergone any changes as a result of temperature or humidity changes. These industries include pharmaceuticals, life science laboratories, hospitals, tissue labs, blood banks, metrology, electronics and aerospace defence. All these industries require precise information about the temperature and humidity of a volume to ensure their work or product is safe. As a result, many of these industries require temperature and humidity mapping, especially in storage warehouses, refrigerators, freezers, incubators, ovens of many different types, furnaces and many more areas. The Inadequate control of these environments can lead to ineffective medicines, spoiled produce, damaged materials and frequent critical equipment failures. The process of temperature mapping has become significantly easier in the past few years but its still an ongoing process that must be repeated numerous times to take in to consideration the seasons, the layout of the warehouse or work environment as well as other changes. This is important in ensuring a constant temperature and humidity is maintained through the year and in correspondence to any changes within the environment. To start the process critical points are allocated based on the structure and layout of the environment, this allows for the entire volume of space to be mapped. Once these locations have been pin pointed, a sample size and frequency is established in order to get an accurate set of results. This is an important step as too few samples and the results can be inaccurate, but too many samples will create a too much data, making analysis difficult, more time consuming and cumbersome. Once the sample size has been decided, the monitors can be programmed and placed in the designated points to start their data collection process. After the test data has been gathered, a number of equations are calculated as well as 2D and 3D mapping to allow for a visual representation of the data. The data is then documented and the process is then repeated in order to provide a sufficient sample size from which a conclusion can be interpreted. During the collection of data, it’s important to monitor any changes within the data, as ensure any anomalies are accounted for, as monitors may need recalibrating on occasion while and can show false results. Once all the data has been collected, you can finally use the data, calculations and 2D & 3D mappings to address any locations that have shown up as irregularities, such as fluctuations within certain locations. The process of mapping for temperature and humidity in these environments is an extremely powerful tool that is not only important in ensuring the safety of products being stored within the environment, but can also save organisation a great deal of money as well as provide ways to implement improvements and increase efficiency.
