One Humidity Swing Can Ruin an Irreplaceable Collection

Most collections sit comfortably around 18-22 C (64-72 F) with relative humidity near 45-55%, but the right target depends on the material - paper, textiles, paintings, and metals each have their own ideal band. What harms artifacts most is not a single set point but rapid swings, so MaxLinc sensors log temperature and humidity continuously and send a real-time alert the moment a reading drifts outside the range you set.

No. The EDGE devices use non-glowing E-ink displays, so there is no LED light pollution to spoil gallery ambiance, and they run silently on 4x AA batteries with no fans or beeping. They are small enough to mount behind artwork, inside sealed vitrines, or in archival vaults without becoming part of the display.

Mold can take hold long before you can see it. The Master Cloud cross-references logged temperature and humidity over time to calculate an early Mold Risk Index, flagging the prolonged warm, damp conditions that let spores grow. You get a real-time alert while the risk is still preventable, rather than discovering damage on a fragile document or canvas after the fact.

Yes. The wireless loggers are built to push their signal through walls and floors, so sealed basement archives and storage vaults can be covered. Data is logged continuously on the device, and where in-building Wi-Fi will not reach, cellular loggers can travel with loaned artworks or cover remote spaces so you never lose a record.

There is no mandatory monthly fee - the devices work on a free plan, and advanced reporting is included at no extra cost. When a reading crosses your threshold, real-time alerts go out by SMS, email, push notification, or voice call, and access can be shared with colleagues by role so curators, facilities staff, and registrars each see what they need.
