Lean meets Green: Moisture Measurement boosts sustainability

Continuous monitoring is critical for lean manufacturing, leading to significant material and energy waste reduction by preventing scrapped products and rework. How precision moisture measurement drives sustainability

Precision moisture measurement

When product moisture content is out of specification, it leads directly to material waste and expensive rework. Precision moisture measurement drastically reduces these losses by providing continuous, real-time insights. Operators can make immediate, small adjustments to the production line, preventing quality compromise and saving resources, resulting in a healthier bottom line.

Driving Efficiency and Just-In-Time Production

Beyond direct material savings, accurate moisture data supports significant continuous efficiency improvements and Just-In-Time (JIT) production. JIT requires perfect synchronization; scrapping product due to moisture issues causes inventory problems and scheduling setbacks. By using sensors to ensure materials are within specification, manufacturers can maintain optimal flow, reduce process variability, and minimize line downtime, achieving substantial sustainability goals.

MoistTech NIR Sensors: the diamond standard of precision

MoistTech Corp. offers the diamond standard in moisture measurement with Near Infrared (NIR) technology sensors. Our on-line, no-contact sensors collect continuous data without wasting product for sampling or requiring line downtime. The sensors are highly accurate, guaranteed not to drift, and require no recalibration or high maintenance, allowing staff to focus on other areas of the production process.
MoistTech’s sensors can be implemented across various industries where accurate moisture levels are critical for lean manufacturing success, including:
  • Animal and Human Food
  • Wood Products
  • Chemical and Pharmaceutical
  • Snack Food and Textiles/Non-wovens
