Use Case: Classifying Wood Veneers Into Dry and Wet

Industrial IoT is playing a significant role in Industry 4.0, especially for automating manufacturing processes. With the integration of sensors, cameras, and AI at the edge, organizations can now automate numerous processes such as visual quality control inspections. Take, for example, the manufacturing of wood veneers. An important part of the manufacturing process involves drying the wood sheets at temperatures of up to 320 F to obtain a moisture content level of around 8% to 12%¹. Following this drying process, the sheets must then be subjected to several verifications to ensure they have been dried correctly and meet quality control standards.
