EMS has been designed to allow the use of Sensors where data is input manually.
•An example would be data from pest control traps. Pests caught in a pheromone traps could be counted on a weekly basis and the numbers entered into a Manual Input Sensor. This data could then be compared against temperature and humidity Sensors in the same area to see if there is any correlation between changes in temperature or humidity and insect activity.
