How to ensure stable temperature and humidity conditions for crop storage? The customer's challenge

Museum exhibits, manuscripts and archival collections are extremely sensitive objects that react to even minimal fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Lack of precise monitoring of these parameters can lead to irreversible damage - such as deformation, discoloration, mold growth or gradual deterioration of the material. Therefore, a system for monitoring conditions in museums is the basis for caring about the condition of works of art.

There are a number of challenges in the daily practice of institutions. First - the need for accurate and continuous measurements. Second - the difficulty of installing sensors in hard-to-reach places, such as display cases, warehouses and air ducts. Third - the need to integrate with building monitoring systems and provide continuous access to historical data. Finally - institutions need solutions that allow them not only to monitor temperature andhumidity, but also to store data, analyze trends and react in case of an emergency.

A single temperature or humidity recorder is not enough - ameasurement system that is scalable, precise and easy to use is essential. This is especially important in museums with variable exposures, where different exhibits require individual storage conditions. Such solutions must take into account not only themeasurement of temperature and relative humidity, but also the possibility of remote monitoring and ongoing control of parameters. It is for these reasons that institutions are looking for flexible solutions that meet not only conservation requirements, but also technical ones - including, for example, IP protection, the possibility of mounting in ducts or wireless data transmission. A well-designed system must be adapted to the specifics of the museum, taking into account the environmental conditions in museums, the type of exhibition and the individual needs of curators.

How does an integrated temperature and humidity monitoring system work? Our solution

Modern museums, archives and galleries are increasingly implementing a temperature and humidity monitoring system that operates in real time and provides full control over storage conditions for collections. Our solution is based on JUMO hydroTRANS transmitters, which perform continuous measurementof relative humidity, temperature and, optionally, CO₂ concentration. Various mounting options are available - wall-mounted and duct-mounted, depending on your needs. Thanks to the IP65 protection class, the devices can operate in harsh conditions - both in the display space and in warehouses, climate cabinets or air ducts.

A key component is the Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) interface with Power over Data Line (PoDL) functionality, which simplifies installation and ensures continuous communication with the host system. Data from temperature and humidity loggers can be sent directly to the cloud or integrated into existing building automation. This gives the institution access to precise measurements, reports and a full history of climate parameters in each zone of the museum. The system makes it possible not only to monitor temperatureand humidity in museums, but also tostore measurement data, quickly respond to alarms and optimize conditions for specific exhibits.

What improvements has temperature and humidity control brought to the museum? Customer benefits

Implementing an integrated system for monitoring temperature andhumidity in museum rooms means not only greater security for exhibits, but also a real improvement in daily operations. Precise real-time measurement of relative humidity and temperature allows for real-time response in risky situations - before visible damage even appears. With ideal conditions, conservators can prevent, rather than repair, the effects of abnormal climatic conditions.

Access to archival data and the ability to analyze it make it easier to document the condition of collections and meet audits and industry standards. Temperature and humidity recorders make it easy to create reports for specific rooms, showcases or warehouses. The system gives full control over the microclimate - also remotely, from a computer or app. As a result, cultural institutions not only protect their resources, but also increase the efficiency of their operations, reduce maintenance costs and build a modern image of a place that combines tradition with technology.
