Measurement and Monitoring System Case Studies | Finding Temperature, Humidity, and Equipment Monitoring Solutions Based on On-Site Challenges

Application & Solution

Update date: August 25, 2026

Factories and facilities face challenges that cannot be solved simply by "measuring temperature." There's a need to monitor multiple locations, quickly detect anomalies, check from a distance, and automate recording—all of which require a combination of sensors, recording, communication, and monitoring tailored to the specific site.

This page introduces how Chino's measurement and monitoring technologies are used to address various field challenges, using system examples categorized by application.

Find your challenge

Find solutions based on on-site problems.

Even if you don't know the product or system name, you can find related case studies based on the problem you want to solve.

temperature/humidity monitoring

I want to monitor temperature/humidity 24 hours a day.

We want to reduce the need for manual inspections of warehouses and storage areas, and instead monitor temperature/humidity changes even at night and on weekends.

Remote monitoring

I want to check the equipment remotely.

I want to check the equipment status and parameter from a distance without having to go to control panel.

Safety management

I want to identify signs of fire or overheating.

We want to monitor temperature changes in biomass fuels and other materials to identify signs of heat generation and heat storage.

dew condensation prevention

I want to understand the risk dew condensation.

I want to check the risk of dew condensation based on temperature/humidity, dew point temperature, and surface temperature.

Heat countermeasures

We want to monitor the risk of heat stress.

We want to continuously monitor WBGT in factories, schools, and outdoor activity areas.

grain storage

I want to control the grain temperature inside the silo.

We want to measure temperature at multiple points inside the silo to understand the temperature distribution and changes.

Concept

Measurement and monitoring don't end with just "measuring."

To solve on-site problems, simply installing sensors and measuring values is sometimes insufficient.

It is crucial to design a system that records measured data, monitors changes in status, notifies the responsible person if an anomaly is detected, and facilitates necessary action. This entire process should be tailored to the specific objective.

Measure

We measure physical quantities necessary on-site, such as temperature, humidity, dew point, and surface temperature.

Record

We will accumulate measurement data so that we can check past conditions and changes.

Monitor

We check multiple measurement points and equipment together to understand changes in their condition.

Alert

Notice the abnormality

If the conditions deviate from the set criteria, alarms and notifications will help in identifying the anomaly.

Consultant

Leading to improvement

We review the accumulated data and use it as a basis for making decisions regarding quality, safety, maintenance, and operational improvements.

At Chino, we propose measurement, monitoring, and control systems tailored to on-site needs by combining temperature and humidity sensors, radiation thermometer, recorders, wireless loggers, monitoring systems, controllers, and more.

Examples of measurement and monitoring systems for specific challenges

For each site, we will introduce it from the perspectives of "What are the challenges?", "What will be measured?", and "How will it be monitored?".

Case 01 / Warehouse, Factory, Storage

I want to monitor temperature/humidity 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

In a system where a person in charge periodically patrols to check temperature/humidity, it is not possible to immediately grasp changes that occur at night, on weekends, or between patrols.

By combining temperature/humidity sensors with communication and monitoring systems, continuous data logging, recording, and detection of anomalies can be supported.

Challenges: Patrol load, record-keeping tasks, gaps in work during nights and holidays
Measure: temperature and humidity
Applications: Recording, remote monitoring, anomaly notification

What is IoT for temperature/humidity monitoring?

Case 02 / Factory/equipment management

I want to check the equipment remotely.

The image shows remote monitoring of equipment and control panels from the office.

In large factories, the act of traveling to check the condition of equipment can itself be a significant burden.

By connecting control devices, recording devices, and monitoring systems via a network, you can consider configuration that allows you to check the status and monitor data remotely.

Challenges: Patrol load, delays in verification, labor-saving measures
Measure: Temperature and equipment data
Applications: Remote monitoring, recording, and operation as needed.

Case 03 / Power Generation and Energy

I want to monitor the heat generated by biomass fuel.

Fuel storage and temperature monitoring at biomass power plants

In the storage of biomass fuels, continuously monitoring changes in their state, such as heat generation and heat storage, is an important element of safety management.

By utilizing temperature monitoring, it is possible to continuously check temperature changes inside the fuel and around the equipment, and use this information to identify signs of abnormalities.

Challenges: Heat generation, heat storage, fire risk
Measuring: Fuel and equipment temperature
Applications: Trend monitoring, alerts, early confirmation

Fire risk and temperature monitoring at biomass power plants

Case 04 / Metals/Equipment/Storage

I want to understand the risk dew condensation.

Image of monitoring dew condensation on metal products

In metal products and equipment, dew condensation is more likely to occur when the surface temperature approaches the dew point temperature of the ambient air.

By measuring temperature, humidity, and metal surface temperature, and monitoring their relationship to the dew point temperature, it can be used to assess the risk of dew condensation.

Problems: Rust, corrosion, dew condensation
Measure: temperature, humidity, surface temperature
Applications: Dew point computation, risk monitoring, alarms

What is the dew point temperature?

Case 05 / Factory, School, Outdoors

We want to continuously monitor the risk of heat stress.

WBGT monitoring system installed at school

Temperature alone may not be sufficient to adequately assess the heat stress experienced by the human body.

By continuously measuring and monitoring WBGT, it can be used as a basis for making decisions regarding heatstroke prevention in factories, schools, outdoor activities, and other settings.

Challenges: Hot environments, heatstroke prevention
Measure: WBGT, temperature, humidity, black globe temperature
Uses: Level display, alarm, email notification

What is the WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) index?

Case 06 / Agriculture/Grain storage

I want to control the grain temperature inside the silo.

In a silo, measuring the internal temperature at only one location does not necessarily provide a complete picture of the overall condition.

By using silo temperature measurement cables and other methods to measure temperature at multiple points in the vertical direction, it is possible to check the temperature distribution and changes inside the silo.

Challenges: Grain storage, temperature distribution, management load
Measure: Grain temperature inside the silo
Applications: multi points measurement, recording, monitoring

What to remember

The system is designed starting with "what to measure."

When considering a measurement and monitoring system, you don't need to decide on the product name or system configuration from the start.

First, it's important to clarify what's happening, what you want to know, and how you want to respond in case of an anomaly.

What are we measuring?
Where to measure?
How often should I check?
Is it necessary to include the data?
Is it necessary to notify in case of an anomaly?
How will the measurement results be used for quality, safety, and equipment improvement?

Please use the case studies on this page as a reference when organizing your company's challenges.

Consider measurement and monitoring systems based on on-site challenges.

Whether you're unsure what to measure, want to utilize existing equipment for monitoring, or need to manage multiple locations centrally, we can help you determine the necessary measurement and monitoring system based on your specific site requirements.
