This paper presents the design of data management system for environmental monitoring applications. The system uses 16-Bit Microcontroller as the main board controlling data management unit (logger), Power Supply unit, Solar Tracker block and data storage block. Three sensors were used namely temperature, humidity and ultraviolet. The system has been tested to capture data at two different conditions, industrial area and high attitude area. The measurement was carried out for 30 hours and the results were plotted using Graphic User Interface (GUI) which is also one of the system units under development.
