Instant data monitoring
Six months on , MoistTech is continuing to blaze new trails in the manufacturing measurement sector . Recently , for instance , it debuted a new Food Grade Sanitary Valve Connection , enabling the measurement of moisture content in soft cheeses , chocolate , sauces , condiments , and more .
“ The ability to efficiently monitor moisture content in these types of food applications is usually very time consuming ,” she explains . “ But with an instant , in-process ability to measure moisture content , manufacturers can now seamlessly tie our product directly into their pipeline for instantaneous data monitoring .
“ The new piece of equipment is a connection unit that attaches to the food grade moisture sensor , providing a pipelined process across the measurement window and thus offering instant data back to a display module . Utilizing the Food Grade Sanitary Valve Connection promises to improve efficiencies , minimize waste , and cut energy costs .”
Its products are second-to-none , there ’ s no doubt about that . But we ’ re keen to learn more about the company manufacturing them . Fortunately , Sarah ’ s on hand to give us the lowdown . “ We ’ ve been familyowned for more than 45 years ,” she reflects . “ We continue to serve our customers based on an ability to consistently evolve alongside advancements in technology and changing customer needs .
“ With MoistTech , customers are more than just a sensor ; they ’ re the backbone of our company , and meeting their production needs in moisture control is our passion ,” avows Sarah . “ Have you ever got used to a product and how well it works , just to find out the company has been sold and the product isn ’ t the same anymore ? That will never happen with MoistTech ; we pride ourselves on directly serving our customers and improving long-lasting relationships .
“ Our process is pretty straightforward : we gauge the issues that our customers are having and identify how we can implement a solution . All our sensors come precalibrated to each customer ’ s exact product requirement and are manufactured near Boston , Massachusetts before being sent to Sarasota for calibration . Each sensor comes with full instructions and a USB with unlimited licensing software , meaning it can be offered out to multiple employees .”
It ’ s been great catching up with Sarah . For one , it ’ s demonstrated that MoistTech is most certainly fulfilling John ’ s ambitions of being “ the best option for anyone looking for moisture measurement and control solutions .” To continue on that trajectory – and to get ever closer to that goal – Sarah says that the company will only be doing more . “ More shows , more interaction , more marketing : we want to grow our presence in multiple ways , whether that ’ s with boots on the ground at trade shows or by increasing our online presence ,” she concludes . “ We ’ ll also look at growing the team , developing Original Equipment Manufacturer ( OEM ) partnerships , and adding to our proven track record of being a trusted partner in the field . “ We ’ ve been – and will continue to be – on an upward trend regarding near-infrared moisture sensing equipment . Solving moisture problems with the customer in mind has always been our focus – and that won ’ t change . But we will roll with the times , continuing to evolve as moisture sensing technology advances , thereby ensuring , as a company , we will never become outdated .” ■
