ABSTRACT:
An approach for digitally measuring temperature in support of a monitoring application is disclosed. Multiple probes, according to one embodiment, are deployed for sensing environmental parameters (e.g., temperature, liquid level, flow). Each probe has a thermally conductive cylindrical housing containing one or more digital temperature sensors. In addition, one of the probes includes analog inputs (e.g., Brix probe, level sensor, and flow sensor). The probes share a common fixed size bus and communicates data from the sensors to a controller. Based upon the collected data, the controller can initiate, for example, a pump-over in a winemaking process. The controller can interface with a data network to a monitoring system configured to store and analysis the collected data. The monitoring system supports access of the stored data over a public data network, such as the global Internet.
