Almost all industries consider as a top priority being able to keep up with the ever growing industrial quality standards enforced in order to produce high quality products. They need to ensure that each of the goods they produce meets specific quality standards so that the final customer has no problem with them. Industrial processes are usually long and complex and it is sometimes difficult for factory operators to control different factors just with their naked eyes or hands.
Fortunately, technology advancements help them throughout the manufacturing process by providing them with highly sophisticated instruments that enable them to monitor it.
Different industries require different and specific monitoring instruments but there are two devices that are widely used across several industries: the food industry as well as in the pharmaceutical one, to produce IT processors or to cut wood and process leather: moisture analysers and temperature sensors.
Moisture analysers are also usually referred to as humidity sensors or hygrometers. They are devices that are highly sensitive to the level of relative humidity present in a certain environment. Just as a wet wall or a moisture stain on the roof can lead to moth and damage in your house, excessive humidity levels can also severely damage varied industrial processes. For instance, coffee beans can become sour if they are too wet, wood can be difficult to cut or turn into attractive pieces of furniture if it is too wet or too dry and pet food can get easily ruined if it is not dry enough when packed. This is why moisture sensors are placed along the different steps of the manufacturing process to make sure that the humidity rate is kept at acceptable levels. From time to time, a sample is taken and weighed. Then it is introduced in the moisture sensor and dried out. Once dried it is weighed again and the difference between the two weights let factory operators know if the environment is the appropriate one or if it has to be adjusted.
Temperature is also a factor that has a significant relevance in the quality of a product. Many chemical compounds are extremely sensitive to very high temperatures and their properties can be diminished severely if they are processed in a hot environment. In the same way, many metals can melt if they are processed in a very hot environment and their endurance can be significantly threatened. Temperature sensors are very accurate instruments that can instantly report the temperature of a product without putting the life of the factory operator at risk.
