Museum & Heritage Case study
Five Scottish sites, including the home of the Stone of Destiny
In Autumn 2023, Culture Perth & Kinross contracted D-Tech Pro to install an Eltek environmental monitoring system across five sites, replacing ageing equipment and fitting out the new Perth Museum for its most famous exhibit.

Perth Museum opened
One of the UK’s oldest significant collections
Culture Perth & Kinross cares for a nationally significant collection including works by leading Scottish artists. In March 2024 the new Perth Museum opened after a £27 million redevelopment, with the Stone of Destiny, returned to Perthshire for the first time in over 700 years, at its heart.
Cloud monitoring across five sites
With grant funding from Museums Galleries Scotland, the project covered five locations: Perth Art Gallery, a city-centre store, the new Perth Museum, Alyth Museum and the Crieff Town Hall Monuments. The team chose Eltek’s cloud system, which uses the mobile data network to avoid any local IT complications, with users interfacing through the Darca Command web software.
Most sensors are GD10 temperature and humidity transmitters, alongside CB70X Lux and UV sensors, with automated reporting scheduled to each user’s needs.
