Six factors separate a logger that quietly protects your operation from one that becomes a maintenance headache.
Size for the full span the variable can reach, not just normal conditions — or it clips at the exact moment an excursion happens.
Balance resolution, storage, and power. Warehouse temp needs minutes; a pressure or vibration event needs seconds. Configurable 1s–hourly.
Decide how data leaves (Wi-Fi, 4G/LTE, Ethernet) and enters your stack. Modbus, MQTT, and OPC-UA drop into existing SCADA and PLCs.
Networks fail; the record shouldn't. Local buffering plus expandable SD keeps the audit trail continuous through outages.
In pharma, food, and healthcare, tamper-evident, time-stamped data with access control is what stands up to an audit.
Match input voltage, operating temperature, and enclosure to where it lives — cold store, wash-down area, or server room.
Every AIOTHUB Industrial Data Logger is built to support the exact parameters that drive your smart factory operations.

On-device SD storage buffers data through network outages and auto-syncs to the cloud the moment connectivity returns.
Modbus RTU/TCP, MQTT, and OPC-UA drop straight into your existing SCADA, PLC, and cloud stack — no rip-and-replace.
No integrator, no code. Four steps to continuous, compliant monitoring.
Wire the parameter probe or sensor input to the logger and power the unit with 9–36V DC.
Set sampling rate, units, and device name from any browser — zero coding knowledge needed.
Define safe ranges and choose who gets notified by SMS, email, or WhatsApp.
View live readings and historical trends on web and mobile, on-site or remote.

The questions buyers and engineers ask us most before ordering.
An industrial data logger is a rugged electronic device that automatically records readings from sensors like temperature, humidity, pressure, voltage, or current. You can also set intervals and store them for monitoring and analysis. AIOTHUB industrial data loggers capture this data continuously, store it on-device, and sync it to a cloud dashboard so you can view live values and historical trends from anywhere.
We offer a full range to match every use case: single-channel and multi-channel data loggers, plus dedicated temperature, humidity, pressure, voltage & current, environmental, and pharma (21 CFR Part 11) data loggers. Whether you need to monitor one critical point or up to 8 sensor inputs at once, there's a configuration that fits your site.
AIOTHUB industrial data loggers start at ₹8,499 for the single-channel model, with multi-channel and specialised loggers (pharma, pressure, environmental) priced from ₹18,000 to ₹25,000 and more, depending on parameters and features. Since pricing depends on your exact sensors and site, you can request a custom quote and we'll configure a unit ready to run, with a free 1-year warranty.
A single AIOTHUB logger can track temperature (−10°C to 65°C ambient, with external probe support), humidity (0-100% RH), pressure, voltage & current, and air quality parameters like CO₂ and VOCs. This makes it a single device for cold chain, HVAC, power monitoring, and process control.
Yes. Our multi-channel data logger supports up to 8 or more sensor inputs simultaneously, so you can monitor multiple parameters or points from a single device. The single-channel model is ideal when you have one critical variable per location and want a lower-cost, dedicated unit.
Yes. Every unit supports Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and optional 4G/LTE, so data can be monitored remotely from web and mobile in real time. This makes it a true IoT data logger ideal for remote sites, unmanned facilities, and multi-location operations.
They're used across pharmaceuticals and life sciences, food and cold chain, manufacturing, water and utilities, warehousing and logistics, and energy and power. Anywhere environmental conditions or machine parameters affect compliance, safety, or uptime, our loggers fit in.
Our temperature data logger delivers high accuracy of ±0.1°C with RTD and thermocouple support across a wide −200°C to 1370°C probe range, and the humidity logger uses a 0-100% RH capacitive sensor with dew point calculation. This precision makes them suitable for cleanrooms, stability chambers, and audit-grade cold chain monitoring.
Yes. You can set high/low thresholds and receive instant alerts by SMS, email, and WhatsApp the moment a value goes out of range. So you can act before product, energy, or equipment is lost.
Setup takes under 10 minutes with no integrator and no coding. You wire the sensor, power the unit with 9-36V DC, configure sampling rate and alerts from any web browser, and start viewing live data. The units are DIN-rail mountable for clean panel installation.
Match the logger to six things: the parameter and its full range, how often you need to sample, connectivity (Wi-Fi/4G/Ethernet and Modbus/MQTT/OPC-UA), storage and backup needs, any compliance requirements, and the physical environment it will operate in. If you're unsure, share your monitoring goal with our team and we'll recommend and pre-configure the right model.
Yes. AIOTHUB ships pan-India with free shipping, a standard 1-year hardware warranty (extendable up to 3 years), and calibration and re-calibration support. You can reach us for a quote or configuration help via our contact page or directly on WhatsApp.
Yes, it has internal flash memory and supports industrial SD cards for data buffering. Once connectivity is restored, it uploads the stored data automatically with no gaps in the record.
Yes. Each unit can be supplied with an NABL-traceable calibration certificate, and we offer scheduled re-calibration to keep your compliance records audit-ready year after year.
Yes. When used with our cloud software, the system provides tamper-evident, time-stamped records, electronic signatures, and user access controls meeting FDA 21 CFR Part 11 standards.
Tell us what you need to monitor and we'll configure, calibrate, and ship a logger ready to run — pan-India, free shipping, 1-year warranty.
