Buy your thermocouple and get it calibrated in one order. IOThrifty now offers 3-point thermocouple calibration, NIST-traceable or ISO/IEC 17025 accredited, at prices that won't break the budget, with standard or custom calibration points.

How short-wave thermal cameras measure melt pools in laser additive manufacturing, why emissivity matters for hot metal, and where the PI 08M fits.

Two-wire transmitters power themselves and send their signal over the same pair of wires. Learn how the 4-20 mA current loop works, why it became the industry standard, how to wire multiple devices in series, and how to calculate maximum cable length.

For years, great remote monitoring was only built for companies with the biggest budgets. So we built Dasberry Cloud: an easy, truly device agnostic IoT platform with dashboards, data logging, alerts and reporting for any MQTT device. A generous free plan, everything-included pricing, and a free perpetual license with every connected device we sell.

When traditional wired sensors aren’t practical, wireless industrial sensing can bridge the gap without the complexity of a full PLC system. In this article, IOThrifty walks through a real-world application where temperature and humidity had to be monitored on a moving machine using a wireless sensor, Modbus gateway, and relay controller. The result was a simple, self-contained control system with no Wi-Fi, PLC programming, or IT infrastructure required.
