Those flat white panels on every wall and ceiling around you? That's plasterboard. The world's most used interior construction material after concrete, manufactured 24/7, dried in industrial ovens that never stop running.
Drying is the most energy-hungry step in the process. Industry-leading 𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁-𝗚𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗶𝗻 knows it better than anyone.
If your humidity sensor can't hold its reading in brutal heat, you're either burning energy overcompensating, or gambling with product quality. No middle ground.
In those conditions, even a tiny sensor error compounds fast. A 2-degree sensor drift. The equivalent of 2,500 homes worth of energy. Wasted. Every single hour.
This is the kind of problem we at Vaisala love. And hate, in equal measure.
𝗝𝗲́𝗿𝗼̂𝗺𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘁, Saint-Gobain's Drying Process Team Leader: "Vaisala's DMP6 proved to be a very effective solution. It is able to maintain accuracy across a wide temperature range, with limited drift and a very low maintenance requirement. It measures directly inside the oven, so no sample line is necessary, and the response time is very quick."
Accurate data, straight from 300°C ovens, resulting in better products, less energy. A real step toward net-zero.
That's why we show up for challenges like this.
