Add traceable environmental data to every test station, in minutes

Precision USB sensors that plug into your test software and deliver calibrated readings from the moment you connect them. For QC engineers, test technicians, and R&D teams building automated test benches.

Compliance standards are tightening. QC teams are smaller. And the old playbook (a $5,000 instrument per station, or an engineer building a DIY solution) no longer scales.

You’ve seen these options before:

High-end instruments

$2,000 to $10,000+ per station
Days of engineering to integrate
Proprietary software ecosystems

Low-cost generic sensors

Large variation between units
No serial number, no calibration path
Indefensible in any quality audit

You should not have to choose between data you can trust and a budget you can defend.

Whether you need a quick reference reading or a fully automated data pipeline feeding twenty stations, we work with QC engineers who face that trade-off every day.

Reliable and consistent real-time temperature data

Dracal sensors are indispensable for the calibration checking and testing procedures of our company's equipment, ensuring they operate at an expected optimal performance.

The Dracal sensors are used to verify the accuracy of an equipment's internal RTD sensor, which through further testing, allows the calculation of a number of temperature coefficients and their effect on other equipment sensors. Just as importantly, Dracal sensors can be checked and calibrated within ISO compliant laboratories.

Reliability and quality system automation with Lumotive

“When we found Dracal, everything we needed was there. It was an out-of-the-box solution, with good documentation and online support, an API, and it was clear that we could communicate easily with the sensors under Windows and Linux. The sensors were physically robust and had not only the temperature range we needed, but also support for higher temperature ranges if required. After testing them, we decided to replace all testing sitewide at Lumotive with Dracal sensors.“

Automate 20+ test stations with traceable environmental data

“We installed a Dracal PTH200-CAL sensor on each of our test stations, and integrated it into our original LabVIEW configuration. Collected data is automatically aggregated, and graphs are produced daily to keep track of conditions at each test station.

In our overall experience, Dracal sensors have been reliable and easy to use for years on our 20+ test stations.“

Read the case study

Automating processes in telematics within minutes

“At our facility, we use a homemade system built with C# and .NET for Windows, including our own logging software. Dracal’s USB solution stood out for its ease of use and simplicity in connection.

While other solutions on the market would have taken several hours to set up, we were up and running in just a couple of minutes with Dracal.“
