## What it is
Artisan scope is a free, open-source desktop application for coffee roasters to record, visualize, analyze, and control roast profiles. It connects to 200+ roasting machines and 50+ data-logging devices (thermocouples, PID controllers) and supports automation, alarms, and profile replay.

## Use cases
- log and chart coffee roast temperature curves
- control a coffee roaster with PID automation
- track rate-of-rise and development time ratio during roasts
- replay reference roast profiles automatically
- connect a thermocouple data logger to a computer
- manage roast profiles for a small coffee roasting business
- import and export roast data from Cropster or IKAWA

## When to choose
- you roast coffee and want to profile, analyze, or automate roasts
- you need hardware support for many roasting machines and temperature devices
- you want a free, cross-platform, actively maintained roasting tool
- you need event detection, alarms, and between-batch protocols

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose data logger unrelated to coffee roasting
- you want a cloud-only or mobile solution
- you need a lightweight library to embed in another app rather than a standalone GUI application

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: stable
- function: data-visualization, monitoring, workflow-automation, iot, gui
