McElroy DataLogger 7

As fusion documentation and traceability become increasingly important across pipeline construction and utility projects, the McElroy DataLogger 7 gives crews a centralized way to capture and verify important information for each fusion joint.

The rugged touchscreen system records critical fusion parameters such as pressure, temperature, and timing while also documenting operator, equipment, project, and GPS information. Live graphical feedback allows operators to monitor the fusion process as it happens and identify conditions that may fall outside established parameters.

After the work is complete, joint records can be uploaded to McElroy Vault for secure storage, analysis, organization, and sharing. By combining field data collection with digital record management, the DataLogger 7 helps contractors, engineers, inspectors, and pipeline owners maintain a detailed history of fusion work from the jobsite through project closeout.

Key Features

Comprehensive Fusion Data Capture

Records critical fusion information, including pressure, temperature, and timing parameters, while also capturing operator, fusion machine, project, and GPS location details.

Real-Time Fusion Analysis

Displays fusion stages through live graphical feedback, giving operators immediate visibility into the process and helping identify conditions that may fall outside required parameters.

Guided Workflow Interface

Step-by-step prompts guide operators through setup and fusion procedures, simplifying data entry and helping reduce errors and inconsistencies in the field.

McElroy Vault Integration

Fusion records can be uploaded to McElroy Vault for cloud-based storage, analysis, sorting, tagging, and sharing across contractors, engineers, inspectors, and project owners.

Automatic Data Backup

Built-in microSD storage automatically backs up fusion information, providing additional protection for important joint records if the device is damaged or data is lost.

Rugged Jobsite Construction

An IP68-rated tablet is built to withstand water, dust, shock, and other conditions commonly encountered on pipeline and underground construction projects.

Glove and Wet-Condition Operation

The touchscreen is designed for practical field use, allowing crews to operate the system while wearing gloves and in wet working environments.

Optimized Cooling Algorithm

Advanced cooling calculations can help reduce unnecessary cooling-cycle time, allowing crews to increase productivity while following applicable fusion procedures.

Extended Battery Performance

A dual-battery system supports full-day field operation, while hot-swappable capability allows batteries to be changed without unnecessarily interrupting data collection.

Benefits

Strengthen Quality Assurance

Automatic monitoring of key fusion parameters gives contractors and project owners objective data that can be used to confirm whether a joint was completed according to the applicable procedure.

Improve Fusion Traceability

Detailed digital records connect fusion information with the operator, machine, project, and GPS location, creating a more complete history for individual joints.

Identify Problems Earlier

Real-time monitoring gives operators immediate visibility into fusion performance, allowing potential issues to be identified before they result in costly defects or rework.

Increase Jobsite Productivity

Guided workflows and optimized cooling calculations help streamline fusion operations, reduce unnecessary downtime, and keep crews moving efficiently between joints.

Reduce Documentation Work

Digital data capture replaces much of the manual recordkeeping associated with fusion documentation, helping reduce administrative work and inconsistent records.

Simplify Project Reporting

Centralized storage through McElroy Vault makes it easier to organize, retrieve, analyze, and share fusion records during inspections, audits, project closeout, or future asset review.

Support Accountability

Operator identification, equipment information, GPS locations, and fusion parameters establish a detailed record of when, where, and how each documented joint was performed.

Perform Reliably in Harsh Field Conditions

Rugged construction provides a data-logging solution suitable for pipeline construction, utility work, underground installations, and other demanding outdoor environments.
