The RST Affinity data logger is part of the only turnkey solution on the
geotechnical Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) market that provides data
collection, communications, site management, data insight, and remote
monitoring together in one comprehensive product line. It collects data in a
variety of applications with high accuracy. It passes this data securely to an RST
Affinity gateway or a mobile device running the RSTAR Affinity field app through
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for monitoring and analysis away from the site.
The data logger is highly flexible and designed to interface with a wide range of
measurement instruments. It is a wirelessly connected data collection device for
measuring geotechnical instruments. It is battery-powered and provides reliable,
unattended monitoring, and telemetry of mission critical instruments.
The data logger uniquely features five customizable ports capable of supporting
your mission-specific instruments. This allows one data logger to interface with a
variety of instruments, reducing overall equipment and installation costs.
