low-cost sensors

Due to rising quality requirements in the metalworking industry, parts drying has been gaining significance, leading to the increasing importance of reducing the energy consumption of drying processes. Therefore, the LoTuS project investigates different approaches to increase drying efficiency. Along with alternative drying technologies, process digitization is employed to provide sufficient transparency for part-specific drying. Using sensor data, artificial intelligence is utilized for process monitoring. Peak demand is further reduced by implementing load management techniques.
