Usage situations

Automating processes in telematics within minutes using Dracal

Discover how a leading test engineer in the telematics and connected vehicles industry successfully automated processes using Dracal Technologies' sensors, enhancing efficiency and reducing integration complexity.

Measuring thermal profiles in portable power bank product development

When a mobile accessories brand migrated their power bank product development test automation from LabVIEW to C#, their NI-based temperature measurement setup no longer fit the new architecture. Here is how a Dracal TMC200k USB thermocouple reader, integrated via COM serial directly into Visual Studio, helped replacing the NI stack and enabled simultaneous T/V/I profiling during charge and discharge cycles.

Adding traceable temperature logging to field-deployed utility meter test equipment

Discover how a manufacturer of utility meter test equipment integrated Dracal VCP-TRH420 USB sensors into its field equipment. The sensors are read over the serial protocol with no license on the proprietary code, and each unit is identified by its USB vendor ID and unique serial number.

Gathering real-time meteorological conditions across large indoor test facilities over Ethernet

An aerospace and defense team needed real-time meteorological conditions inside large indoor test facilities, read directly from their own Windows software. Dracal SensGate gateways carry USB weather stations over Ethernet, so a custom Visual Studio C# application retrieves temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure through API calls.

Automating temperature logging on an EV battery test bench

A thermal design engineer at an EV battery manufacturer was reading temperature by hand at every test station. A general purpose probe had already been rejected for missing the team's precision and resolution needs. A calibrated Dracal RTD to USB chain met the accuracy budget, dropped into their existing Python, and earned a repeat order.

Monitoring thermal chamber temperature directly from in-house C# and .NET software

A vehicle-telematics manufacturer monitors its thermal chamber with a Dracal USB temperature sensor, reading the data straight into its own C# and .NET software. No closed DAQ system, no dedicated acquisition card, and the chamber was reading correctly within minutes.

Replacing an obsolete OEM sensor in industrial fiber testing equipment

When the temperature and humidity sensor embedded in their main fiber testing machines was discontinued, a world-leading manufacturer needed a drop-in replacement that would communicate via the same COM port protocol, support Windows 7 across a globally deployed installed base, and include T/RH readings in every machine-generated test report. Here is how they did it with Dracal.

Automate 20+ test stations with traceable environmental data

Discover how an industrial equipment manufacturer integrated Dracal Technologies' PTH200-CAL sensors to automate and calibrate over 20 LabVIEW-based test stations, ensuring precision, reliability, and compliance with calibration and traceability standards.
