Is Wireless Temperature Sensor Superior to Wired Sensor? A remote warehouse temperature data logger (or sensor) is a small WiFi thermometer that stores data and connects to the Internet. It measures and logs ambient temperature data, which is saved on the device as well as wirelessly transmitted (by WiFi, Bluetooth, or GSM) to an online storage and processing system referred to as the Cloud, from which the data can be shared or acted upon. When considering a warehouse temperature monitoring system, the three most significant aspects to consider are: Installation and operation costs The installed sensor network's scalability and flexibility The fitted sensors' dependability Although wired and wireless sensors have advantages and disadvantages, wireless temperature sensors are the way to go for most cold chain warehouse applications.
Wireless temperature sensor systems are significantly less expensive to install and operate than their wired counterparts. There is no need to run wiring or dig up the floor to accommodate network and power cable conduits. Because of the ease with which a wireless warehouse temperature sensor network may be deployed, it is also easier to deploy in shared storage areas or older facilities that may not be able to support the additional equipment.
