Original readings stay original
Field corrections can be applied without overwriting the source observation that was actually received.
Practical environmental monitoring resources
Start with the question you are trying to answer.
Whether you are planning a monitoring programme, reviewing existing equipment, preparing a loan or trying to make sense of environmental evidence, these routes take you to the most useful LÆFAN guidance and product information.
Choose your route
Find the part of LÆFAN that matches the job in front of you.
You do not need to start with the software. Start with the collection question, the equipment you already have or the evidence you need to retain.
01
Plan environmental monitoring
Work from collection needs, monitoring questions and environmental context rather than starting with a sensor catalogue.
Open Guidance →02Choose monitoring equipment
Use the Buyer’s Guide to compare data ownership, calibration, connectivity, evidence quality and practical deployment.
Open Buyer’s Guide →03Set collection expectations
Understand how Environmental Profiles give rooms, cases, stores and campaigns their own reviewed monitoring expectations.
Explore Environmental Profiles →04Use existing sensors and loggers
See how connected sources, imports, local systems and LÆFAN Edge can bring existing measurements into one environmental history.
Explore Integrations →05Plan a loan or temporary exhibition
Keep temporary monitoring context, agreed conditions, checks and lender evidence together without duplicating the underlying history.
Explore loans & exhibitions →06Prepare reports and evidence
See how readings, profiles, alerts, checks and response remain connected so a later report can explain the story behind the numbers.
Explore Reports & Evidence →07Review calibration and checking
Use calibration, reference checking and traceability questions when assessing instruments and the evidence they produce.
Review buying questions →08Talk through your current setup
Bring one real monitoring problem, your current sensors or logger workflow and the evidence you need to produce.
Book a tailored demo →Practical tools and references
Explore, plan and test ideas before you configure anything.

EXAMPLESWorked examples
Follow realistic monitoring scenarios and see how context changes the interpretation of the data.
How LÆFAN treats your evidence
Useful evidence should remain explainable later.
LÆFAN is designed so the monitoring record does not become detached from where it came from, what was expected or what your team did next.
Context is dated
Sensor moves and Environmental Profile changes do not silently rewrite earlier environmental history.
Unknown stays unknown
Missing, insufficient or unreliable data is not quietly presented as acceptable collection conditions.
Devices can behave differently
Periodic loggers, event driven sensors and low power heartbeat devices are assessed according to how they actually report.
Your requirements remain yours
LÆFAN can provide starting points, but your institution decides which Environmental Profiles are appropriate for its collections.
