There are different types of data loggers on the market, such as real-time (tracker), NFC, USB, Bluetooth: these record data ( in a nutshell, data logger) at various intervals during a particular period of time and are equipped with specialized electronic sensors to measure different parameters, including temperature, humidity, UV exposure, pressure, acceleration, shock. Once the data has been collected, it's usually up to the operators to retrieve the devices from the package/pallet/container and then send them to the quality control departments, which extract the data and organize them into excel sheets. However, this is a manual process that takes 15 to 30 minutes per device, time that could be devoted to other business activities. More advanced versions of data loggers (also called "trackers") may be able to transmit field data in real time to collection and analysis platforms, automating the data extraction and organization processes. ### Data logger market trends Given the continuous expansion of the food industry globally, the data logger market is expected to register a CAGR of 7.4% during the period 2021 - 2026.  Data loggers are fundamental measurement tools, and the evolution towards real-time information facilitates their use.However, data is often collected on closed software, thus generating fragmentation, complicating workflows, and representing the need for extensive adoption of real-time data loggers. ### Wenda: APIs, third-party data loggers and integration services With Wenda, food and logistics companies can easily manage, analyze and share temperature and track & trace data from production to consumer, supporting the most common data loggers.
