Museum & Heritage Case study
One system across five museum sites in the ‘Garden of Wales’
Looking after five very different museum sites, costumes, ceramics, fine art and Dylan Thomas’s original belongings, several near the coast, Conservation Officer Joanna Cook needed to see them all in one place.

Five sites, one humid climate
Carmarthenshire’s museums range from the county museum to the Dylan Thomas Boathouse. Coastal humidity is a constant threat: textiles “can’t be too dry or they’ll crack, but not too damp because of mould growth,” Joanna explains, while balancing visitor and staff comfort.
Everything on one platform
Carmarthenshire County Museum, Parc Howard Museum and the Dylan Thomas Boathouse together run over 50 GD10 transmitters and SRV250 units, combined into a single system. Overlaying graphs across sites lets Joanna spot trends, or something specific to one site, like a leak, and with support from D-Tech and new archives being built, extending to further sites is straightforward.
“To have everything on the same system makes everything easy. It saves a lot of travel time, now I can do it all in one hour.”
