Does your OS allow slashes inside a filename? Otherwise, it can't be done.

On a POSIX shell you could provide the current date in the output
filename like this:
wget http://192.168.02/DataLog.html?FileName=Day_Shift_.csv -O
Day_Shift-`date +%d/%m/%Y`.csv

(replace the / with something else if not supported by your filesystem)
