Data Loggers & Sensors

Overview

Cobalt XS is the latest addition to Dickson’s data logger range for the OCEAView and DicksonOne Cloud monitoring solutions. Offering a small footprint and LoRaWAN wireless connectivity, the data logger supports a variety of external temperature and relative humidity sensors.

Ideal for life science, agri-food, and logistics sectors, Cobalt XS gives you a cost-effective and reliable way to keep an eye on the environmental parameters of your sensitive assets, storage facilities, products, equipment, and more.

The Cobalt XS data logger implements LoRaWAN wireless connectivity(1) to provide very long-range coverage to minimize your related on-site infrastructure requirements.

Dickson’s Smart-Sensor technology makes maintenance easier by storing all calibration information directly in the sensor, providing both high accuracy and on-the-fly sensor swapping for recalibration.
