Dataloggers are used in a vast array of industrial applications and industries including transport, security and mining in both private and public sectors.

The DataTaker DT80 is an advanced, stand alone, low-power data logger. It is an extremely flexible recording device, tracking signals and measurements from a vast range of sensors such as; temperature, pressure, flow, load, voltage etc.

A New Idea

Early in the project, CobaltNiche proposed a ‘left-field’ solution that ultimately transformed the client’s thinking and the end product. Specifically we replaced their old fabricated sheetmetal product with an extruded body and die-cast end caps. Benefits of this production and assembly approach include lower manufacturing and assembly cost, higher perceived quality and greater product flexibility.

Added Value Outcome

The DT80, like many industrial products is not a glamorous product. Users are primarily concerned with the specifications, reliability and performance of the device. Nonetheless, CobaltNiche have ensured assembly efficiency, configuration flexibility and compact electronics, user interface and  ruggedness of the casing. This has been a success internally within DataTaker and, more importantly, with the market easily exceeding previous model sales and the company’s expectations.

Beyond this product, the collaboration between CobaltNiche and DataTaker has spawned several models using the same extrusion concept and empowered the DataTaker team with new technical knowledge and expertise.
